Tieflings, Aasimar, Genasai (sp?), etc. How does Dragonlance work them in, if they do, officially? I know the unofficial response would be "The DM can put them in if he wants them in".

I remember reading a thread about this once before, but I cannot find it.

These folk are rare and singularly unique beings, unlikely to appear as player characters and just as unlikely to appear in most Krynnish campaigns as "races". Most outsiders serve or are the agents of the gods of Krynn, so any character with the blood of outsiders, fiendish, celestial, or elemental heritage, or an extraplanar subtype is probably the result of some specific plot, a dalliance with mortals, or even the scion of an aspect of a god chosen to carry out his wishes on the mortal plane.

Basically, the heroes shouldn't just meet a genasi or tiefling walking down the street in Palanthas. And you won't see any aasimar paladins of Kiri-Jolith joining the battle against the Dragonarmies. Use them sparingly!

Cheers,
