It's a really good book.

Part of me wonders if Kobolds might get some love in Tian Xia this edition. I think they were completely absent in 1e, but the upcoming Treasure Vault's framing device being a Kobold author who lives in an Underworld Dragon's hoard, I can't help but wonder at further ties between our little buddies and the Imperials of that continent. Xa Hoi has a history of open and proud draconic rule dating back thousands of years, a nation powerful enough to avoid Lung Wa's conquest - might we see some faux-Vietnamese Kobolds in the future?

Imperial dragons are my favourite dragons. Do kobolds related to imperial dragons look different? Can they fly without growing wings?
I'll let you know when we see one, but I have to admit, the antler-horns do sound cute.

No, I'm not challenging anyone, I fully recognize that it's possible with some extra work to... oh, what am I saying? I don't want to talk myself out of seeing some cool conrasu characters. I love conrasu and love seeing new OCs!
Side note to this divergence, but every time I read Master Ot in the opening of Strength of Thousands I read it as "Master Ood", as in the Jedi that was basically an arboreal, and so he became a Conrasu when I was preparing to run it (sadly, never actually got the chance).
I intended him to show emotions in the form of sigils appearing on his "core" like an LED visor.

We need more ancestries and heritages with deer antlers.

I don't know if anyone was as worried about them as me, but I was able to ask Luis during his recent Reddit AMA if Wyvarans will still around; he confirmed that they are, but his preference would be to give them a more intentional place in the setting, as they kind of felt randomly dropped into the Shattered Range.
I suppose I'd always assumed they were some sort of Nexian experiment in making draconic chimeras, but I guess that's never explicitly stated anywhere... so I'd gladly see them in a new home.
Back in the very early 1980s we ran an all kobold campaign. There were 4 kobold PCs, Huey, Duey, Luey, and Puey. Huey was a fighter, Luey was a cleric, Duey was thief, and Puey was an assassin. Most of those kobolds died, but Puey, aka 'Puey the bold', went on to join the regular adventuring party and eventually became a 15th level grandfather of assassins. He was like a kobold James Bond. These were kobolds from the 1st edition monster manual, which looked like cute little reptilian devil puppy people, and they were technically members of the 'giant class', and so somehow related to ogres, trolls, fire giants, orcs and goblins.
I liked that depiction!
