    I assume he(?) means usable for the adventure. That is, what races are "valid" for Dragonlance by default.

    If you're talking about Shadows of the Dragon Queen, I'm pretty sure it says you can be anything you want.

    If you're limiting yourself to Dragonlance canon, then it really depends on the continent and time period. Assuming Ansalon during the War of the Lance, it would be:

    Elf (Qualinesti, Silvanesti, Kagonesti, Dargonesti, Dimirnesti, Half)
    Dwarf (Hylar, Daewar, Neidar, Klar, Daegar, Theiwar, and Zhaka, Half)
    Gully Dwarf
    Kender (True, Half)
    Gnome (Tinker, Thinker, Wild, Half)
    Human
    Goblinoid (Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear)
    Minotaur
    Ogre (Fallen, Half, Irda)
    Draconian (Aurak, Sivak, Kapak, Bozak, Baaz)
    Noble Draconian (Flame, Frost, Lightning, Vapor, Venom)
    Phaethon
    Centaur
    Satyr
    Kyrie
    Tayfolk
    Thanoi
    Ursoi

    We're actually discussing this very topic in the other Dragonlance thread, but here is the exact quote from the races section:

    PEOPLE FROM BEYOND

    Peoples who aren’t native to the world still might find their way to Krynn. It’s possible to find individual members—or even small enclaves—of folk like dragonborn, halflings, tieflings, or any other race in Ansalon. Perhaps such individuals stepped through a portal and found themselves on Krynn, or traded with one of Krynn’s great empires before the Cataclysm. Use such possibilities to play characters of any race you please in your adventures across Krynn.
    Basically, because we live in a society Krynn lives in a multiverse, and some pretty gnarly magic was flying around in the Age of Might right before the Cataclysm, you can justify nearly anything showing up on Krynn, either spontaneously/individually in the current era, or in small communities/groups dating back to that Age.

    In short,
