Unless CGI gets to the point where they can make a good "toon" troll, if
they're going to have trolls at all, they'll be short. If you get too
tall, you have to use waldos and prosthetics, which don't move right.
Check out Goro in Mortal Kombat - he was obviously a guy with a set of
extra muppet arms. If you want the guy to move like a person, it has to
be a person. So, given the choice between short trolls and elves, or ones
that move poorly, I'll take short ones.

They've been working on an Aussie SB forever. Basically, they want a
person from the region to write the sourcebook because otherwise, they'll
get it wrong. The difference between a native an a guy who does a lot of
research is huge.

At GenCon they mentioned they might have someone who'd do South Africa
or Hong Kong SB's.
