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.

    All I meant by this is that there is a common fantasy that the dragonborn race option fulfills that is not thematically fulfilled by dwarves and orcs. If you think a different or custom race would fulfill that fantasy better then that’s great too.
