yup, Canada is a desolate wasteland that is surprisingly interesting, which I hope I portrayed in another thread. :D I'll be blunt What areas in Kara-tur are criminally underwritten? I'm having an absolute blast filling in the holes. :D

This is book that started my reduction of interest in 5e books. It's not the worst, but I never figured out how to run a game in this world. It has all the complaints of Forgotten Realms NPCs interfering with the addition that you're allowed to do even less to avoid messing up the status quo...

They will prep a great plan, show it to the hasbro suits, and then immediately run away at the original cost. Ever since I found out they almost had a D&D MMO....and then sold it out to Atari, I have no faith in them actually doing the work. Let Larian bask in the glory of BG3 and then use...

Been a fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle and started pondering, and well, here it is. Upsidasium (Special Material) Wondrous Ore, Rare Upsidasium is a silvery, fragile crystalline metal that defies gravity. Even the smallest shard will drift upward unless restrained. Properties Negative Weight. A...

I honestly like referring to opponents as 'the bad guy" because it takes out a lot of the racial coding. When I did my work, I made their function based on equipment and then slapped on a tweak based on species. one last thing I am a particular fan of Minotaur PCs, or as I like to call them...

I always thought more people played PC Kobolds than Gnomes. They are like little dragon dudes.

I can see two groups. 1. the benevolent society that does things for adventurers behind the scenes. 2. but I'm a sucker for another group They are technically Argentine mercenaries, but the Japanese wrote them, so maybe some sort of rowdy bunch of mercenaries to use as friends or foes...

What's a good symbol for a benevolent society that is inspired by the white lotus society in Avatar, the harpers, and the ikari warriors from KOF (and probably a dab of Full Metal Panic)—basically, a plug-and-play support system for adventurers in Kara-Tur.

Laothan: The Kingdom Under Shadow Then and Now Laothan was once a lush, monsoon-fed realm of terraced rice fields, jungle hills, and bamboo villages. Its people, the Seng, were known for their artistry, silverwork, festivals, and devotion to the Path of Enlightenment—especially the Ku Nien...

Part 3 - Kaylna Country"Some places ‘round here don’t just tell stories—they make ‘em up while you’re standin’ there.Heard a chapel preach itself.…Don’t go near the weeping milepost."—Stumpy Magree Kaylna Country - Part 3 - Weird Landmarks, Towns and Babas! I think I'm finally starting to run...

Hogweed Goliath https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/invasive-species/meet-the-species/invasive-plants/giant-hogweed/ now imagine it being able to move.

as crazy as it is, moose. big enough to break a car fast enough to narrow the ranks of unprepared hunters aquatic and naturally doubles back, so if you follow its trail, it sees you coming. plus that prehensile nose. I'm not entirely convinced that moose aren't a deer that made a...

plant monsters are a particular favorite. Until a trip behind the scenes at the Muttart Conservatory. I had no idea that orchids do the same thing as carnivorous plants: clamp down on bugs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollination_trap I think they need an adult. :p
