#1 Evil_Mouse Nov 04, 2014 22:14:11	Any word on new races being added?
#2 IxidorRS Nov 05, 2014 8:21:33	In the AMA on Reddit, Mearls indicated new classes and races would be tied to settings.   He didn't confirm we'd be getting a setting book next year, but I'd be very surprsied if we didn't. No indication in any way what the setting would be.
#3 Skerrit Nov 05, 2014 10:23:59	He did however say that they did already do up the warforged and the kender, so if they do books for those settings, those races would certainly appear. Its also possible they might be previewed in some way on the WOTC website.

Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design. It is up to adventurers from heroic factions such as the Emerald Enclave and the Order of the Gauntlet to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms.   A super-adventure for the Elemental Evil story arc, Princes of the Apocalypse provides everything a Dungeon Master needs to create an exciting and memorable play experience.   Fans of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Roleplaying Game can get a sample of what this product has in store for them through the D&D Encounters(TM) in-store play program.   Adventure design and development by Sasquatch Game Studio LLC.

#9 cowleymen Nov 09, 2014 20:49:56	Its my understanding that most new content will be coming out in junction with campaign settings, both in and out of orginized play.
#10 Lashan Nov 10, 2014 11:13:23	You realize that AL is in the Forgotten Realms, right?  I don't think they will ever allow Kender or Warforged in Adventure League.  Oh, it might be added to the main rules, but I highly doubt it would ever be allowed in FR.  I think it would be quite stupid.  Keep the world specific races in those respected game worlds.

#12 Tyranthraxus Nov 10, 2014 18:58:52	Its possible but I think pretty.. unlikely. I think 2016 might be the earliest we could expect a non FR organised play AL.
#13 IxidorRS Nov 11, 2014 8:13:42	I think there's a specific reason they called it Adventure League rather than Living Forgotten Realms or something similar.

#17 zagora_01 Nov 12, 2014 9:59:12	So, it looks like the DMG has the Aasimar and the Eladrin detailed out. Please Oh Please Adventure league gods will you post something that says those races are allowed?
