There is no honor among thieves. They split the party and stab each other in the back. Joyful chaos goddess is happy like kittens in catnip.

We'll have a tankard for you at the Shady Dragon Inn.

When the players visit and beg either the village hedge witch or unseelie faerie in the marsh for a cure or two.

The game does not matter. I enjoy presenting a situation and seeing how the players react to it and how the things they do or do not cause the event to grow into a mutual story told by all.

Through roleplaying the one that antagonizes the foes the most.

I have used AI to attempt to recreate the AD&D lamia. No luck. I get lots of oddly floating body parts or Avataresque looking beings.

Three kinds of elves divided by religion: Light elves worship the stars they first saw upon awaking in the world. Grey elves worship the nature spirits (Green Man of the Woods, Lady of the Lake) they encountered when exploring the world. Dark elves worship whoever gives them power over everyone...

I once saw a picture and model of the medieval London Bridge. Ran the entire campaign on the bridge. The players never left it.

I dream of a Victorian gothic library with Christopher Guy majestic chairs.

It is far more interesting if you have assimar based upon a biblically accurate depiction of angels.
