I'm running a campaign for some friends who are new to D&D and I've decided to make an entire homebrew setting that takes inspiration from (read: totally rips off) several fantasy sources. I'm using the map of Westeros as the setting and cramming in every D&D playable race onto that single continent, along with several other species from different settings. For example, in place of goblins which are a playable race in my setting and therefore unsuited for wanton slaughter by PCs, I have the Skaven from Warhammer Fantasy. I've done a fair bit of work balancing these stat blocks for low-tier combat, but it shouldn't be too hard to scale them up as needed in the future. Let me know what you think, and if you have suggestions I'd be delighted to hear them!
