I like these new races ideas but there are still some problems with some:

Minotuar-already done by the people at FASA, see "Paranormal Animals Of Europe"
Appendix 2, page 122.

Ogre-already done by the people at FASA, see "Paranormal Animals Of Europe",
Appendix 2, page 122.

Gobline-a dwarf affected by a specific strain of the HMHVV, see "Paranormal
Animals Of Europe", Awakened Animals, page 52.

Pixie-what truely is a pixie, mean how big(small) are they, how do they exsit
where or what they come from, and etc.

Gnome-the only good one with one big problem, what is physically and historical
different about them to seperate them from dwarves.

THis is what I feel about all the new races.

P.S. Why do we need new races when we need more chances to role-play.

About 3' tall. Profess Meta-humanity at birth, much like elves.

They are shorter, a little less hardy, quite bright.

Because the new races present an opportunity to have role-playing. Some
people (like me and my older groups) feel that once a person starts
stereotyping a race, it gets stale and the fun is out of it, but if they
just DON'T LIKE the other races in the game, then it's no fun. Now, for
those who want other role playing opportunities with new races and new
social presures, these offer that opportunity.
