What dnd races are required?

@dnd

I’m making a new #homebrew #dnd setting. The mistake I felt I made last time was trying to devise an orgin from whole cloth for each playable race, which wasted a TON of time and energy while also confusing my players. So, herein I wish to ask: What playable races would you miss, if you joined my table and noticed their absence?

Humans, dwarves, halflings, orcs, goblinoids, and elves will all stay, but I am not sure about all the others.

    🤷‍♂️I only have like three people I could currently recruit, since I only have 2 irl friends plus my fiancée. Considering that in my experience about a quarter of the people I recruit don’t show up regularly and another quarter stop coming after a bit, I would prefer to recruit another 6-8 people so I can have six players.

    Basically, I’m doing market research. I want my game to be minimally aggravating for my players. Right now I’m specifically focusing on one detail that I dont really get.
