I've been gaming with my current group for twenty years and I don't know that we could have kept up with weekly games when folks started having kids and such without online gaming. We moved online with Covid, but have stayed online because it is just so much more convenient for people. We do an...

That's a matter of world-building. They are a new species to be part of the core, so their visibility in already published settings is scarce, but that's easily fixed in homebrew worlds. When I built my world, I made a conscious decision to get away from the RPG fantasy trope where the world is...

I build a homebrew world for the new edition that has giant as no longer a part of the world and goliaths as their successors. We have two in the party, one storm and one cloud, and they both seem to really be enjoying the characters and the species' backstory.

To quote Red vs Blue: Church: So just remember. The internet can be a very scary place if you're not prepared. Grif: How do you recommend they prepare? Church: I don't know. Try going to your local middle school chess club. Hand out crystal meth and guns. That might be good practice.

I do miss the "Organization" part of the stat block that used to exist, showing what sorts of groupings you might find, including allies.
