...I’m a bit miffed that “Owlfolk” and “Rabbitfolk” got some attention before the honorable Dogfolk, but these are nice.
I’m a bit indifferent to the theme of this UA...rabbitfolk might get some attention from me down the line, if for no other reason than to re-create the rabbit monks from the game, “Overgrowth”.
If different planes are producing new races, however...I would LOVE some attention to the celestial planes.
Aasimar fill a humanoid niche...but you potentially have hound archons, demigods, or other celestial-based races to utilize.
Hmm, interesting. Not sure if I would allow rabbitfolk or owlfolk at my table, however. They seem a bit too goofy to me.

All stars fade.

I think the added proficiencies for Owlfolk and Rabbitfolk need to be switched and the Fairy needs to have the ability to turn Tiny and Small to make some features make sense. Also 25 foot speed for small characters
Heh. In my opinion, the Feywild has the right to be a bit goofy (not capital g "Goofy", though. Dogfolk can go to the Abyss, for all I care). Rabbitfolk definitely seem like the weakest concept-wise for me, as it doesn't seem to have much interesting flavor other than "Bugs Bunny" as written. I've always liked the concept of owlfolk. My only gripe with the race is that I always imagined them having their wings be attached to their arms, not separate like the Aarakocra.
I'm buying whatever book these come out in, that's for sure. We need more fey content in 5e.

For me the Feywild is more whimsical than goofy. Cute critters? Sure. Mischievous trickster? Definitely. Goofy? Doesn't really click with me.

But I agree that we need more fey content.
Look at the Killmoulis, and tell me that the Feywild isn't goofy. Or the yeth hound, or boggle for that matter. Not all of the Feywild is goofy, a lot of it is whimsical, and sometimes horrifying, but there certainly is room in the Feywild for "goofy" stuff like rabbitfolk and owlfolk (I personally only think the rabbitfolk are goofy, but you're entitled to your own opinion).
We especially need powerful fey. The highest CR on an official fey monster in all of 5e are the Eladrin in Mordenkainens, which are CR 10. We need Archfey, Elder Hags, and other powerful fey monsters, whether they are allies or enemies (most fey can be a bit of both).

I love fey, but I hate that the Hobfey's Fortune From the Many is exactly the same as Saving Face. And Hare-Trigger on rabbitfolk is a horrible pun.
There is a small difference, that it is PB uses per long rest instead of once per short rest, which I actually think is a nice change, but I agree with you on both accounts.

I'm not sure if Dragonlance is coming, it could just be a Draconomicon, but either of us could be right. If they don't do draconic lineages (maybe with Urds, Half-Dragons, and Gemstone Dragonborn), I would guess that they'll do more planar lineages or subclasses. They could do Rogue Modrons, Bauriar, Abyssal Cambions, Slaad-Scarred, Shadow-Touched races, and the like.

The hare-trigger pun is terrible and amazing at the same time. I kind of want them to keep it in, but something more descriptive like "Alertness" would be a better name for the feature.

I certainly agree that we need more fey, which is one creature type that is solely lacking in 5e, alongside (understandably) oozes and plants. However, while WotC isn't likely to release a book just about oozes and plants, there's enough information on fey that, based on these new races (lineages?), they will probably be releasing a Feywild book. It's my hope that they'll cover the darker side of the Feywild, the Unseelie fey, but also that they stick to the Seelie fey not being "good". Instead, the Seelie fey (as in the rest of fey lore for 5e) should be tricksters, most definitely not "good" overall, but not malicious either. You can think of (and run) the Feywild however you want, though, it doesn't affect my game at all, and everyone's opinion is valid.

With a novel due this summer, I imagine either a Dragonlance Book that summer or around Thanksgiving in time for Christmas. if not that, then a potential Draconomicon I fear would be heavily leaning on the Dragonlance novel so much that it might as well have been a Dragonlance book.
Regardless I flipped a few tables with this UA. Not that I don't dislike the Feywild prospects but I am still waiting for Path of the Dragon with DRAGONRAGE.

I like it and hope they keep it if they run with it. "Alert" is already a feat and I don't like names overlapping.

WotC would have to be having a months-long aneurysm in order to not capitalize on one of their oldest and most beloved settings getting a new series released from the two authors most closely associated with it; which, considering other decisions WotC has made, isn't out of the question, but the stars are pointing to Dragonlance coming in the near future. Then again, the stars also pointed to Tasha's Cauldron of Afterthoughts being a Planescape supplement, so what do I know?
I mean, getting both a Draconomicon and and Dragonlance Setting book would be sweet.
With the more recent statement that WotC will be increasing it’s cadence of releases for books, there is a slight possibility that we might be getting books based on planes (like the Feywilds for these UA).
Personally, I think books on monster types and how to creature encounters and even unique monsters for your campaign would be pretty cool Dm resource that you could also include new player options like races/lineages, subclasses, feats, backgrounds, magical items and spells. Plus you can make those types of books campaign agnostic, with guidelines for how those creatures tend to function in specific settings.
I know I personally want monster books on Dragons, Plants and more powerful Beasts, Celestial, Fey, Constructs, Aberrations, and Monstrosities.

Twitchy should be the feature name
Wasn't expecting it to be THIS early, LMAO.
With the Current pace of the release of Unearthed Arcana, the next will certainly be released between April 4 and June 12 this year.
And the survey will already be closed by the end of the week. 🙄 Ravenloft has a deadline for the Printers after all.
One of the other two will obviously be Dragonlance judging the other UAs. Anybody have any guesses on the third?
