oh YEAH the part of the monsters as PCs splatbook I was looking forward to all this time! Let's see what it says.

Gnolls are descendants of the demon lord Yeenoghu. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They do not know pity, or remorse, or fear. And they will not stop- EVER!

hm. I think the game might still be a little negative.

re: uspol, snark 

@porsupah I *really* dislike 5e's take on gnolls. It feels like the designers decided they needed one of the humanoid species to be a purely adversarial opponent group, and gnolls were it for whatever reason. This is counter to a lot of things I think about how D&Dish fantasy works, quite outside from my fondness for hyenas.

Mostly I like this splatbook PDF, but the way they pitch gnolls as PCs is very along the official lines of 5e. Not really a fan.
