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.

    Basically all the races in lord of the rings would be ideal. Don’t forget about the giant spiders and treeants.

    Personally, I’m rather fond of fairies and drow too.

    Would love to see Inklings in d&d as well.
