It's never too early for race discussion.

I really want to see Faeries get a proper airing.

Visually speaking, they're not very stimulating in 4e (I didn't get to see them back when I was playing 3 or 3.5, did they exist?). I was really hoping for something more stylized, like the Faeries of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block. I thought the insect-like features and colorful bodies worked great! I know I could have made them out to be anything I wanted to, but I was really disappointed when I had to rely on Magic to get a good feel for the race instead of the rulebooks themselves.

Oh, and Goblins should be made into a formal race once and for all.

How about you guys?

You know your character can look like whatever you want it to, right?  If you want your fairy to look like that, then it looks like that.

Anyway, my list:
Warforged
Shifters (I'd prefer full-fledged beastfolk/anthro animals, but this and other races are easily reflavored)
Shardminds (rename if necessary)

...

And that's about all I play, so there we go.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

At least the 4e races(minus any redundant ones that can be applied as an option for another race, like the Deep Gnomes)

I believe I said (and I paraphrase): "4e didn't give them a proper airing, so I had to rely on MTG for visuals." Yes, I was aware. lol

I'm a big fan of the Fae thanks to my control deck back in High School. Oh, Mistbind Clique... u so silly.

I want to see Faeries- both small and medium since there are more than one type of them.

Other than "all of them"   Here are a few I'd like to see...

Lycanthrope (not just Shifters ala Eberron, true lycanthropes balanced with other races; a challenge, yes, but doable, I think)

Revenant

A sentient ooze (a shapeshifter race like Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

Dragons!

I was actually hoping that they would apply Lycans and Revenants (along with Vampires) as character options instead of individual races (or classes... in the case of vamps).

Although I have to admit, with healing surges gone Vampires seem like they may work as a class for 5th edition.
