Im thinking more along the lines of Yellowstone or America Primeval - showing a darker more grim view of western expansion. I thought those shows were doing okay

Is it time for more cowboys?

Good combats are certainly fun but they are the least preferred mode of play for me, I tend to treat combat as a skill challenge and am more interested in the roleplay and story crafting aspects - which brings in exploration and discovery, faction intrigue and world development

Kuo-Toa are too much like Deep Ones to me, they belong in a Lovecraft Horror scenario of creeping horror and intense nightmare visions. In those scenarios they are great (I've done such an adventure) but it is what keeps them from being an easily used generic goblin-type. Personally I'm more...

Studies suggest that the ice of Jupiters moon Europa glows faintly due to bombardment from Jupiters intense radiation field. SO a moon with just the right type of ice and an intense radiation source (maybe its own rotating core) might do it. Also on Jupiter's moons Io is the most volcanically...

I tend to use a lot of fey so Boggles, Pixies, Gremlins and Twigblights get a bit of use I use Bullywugs a lot too I also made Gnomes fey and went down the rabbithole of the Gnome link to Mites and Jermlaines/Snyads as well as Redcaps, Spriggans (and Brownies) - so they can all appear in my...

Before the morning mist had risen, Kahru had descended down into the gorge, alternating between hawk, wolf and man as the conditions demanded. A mile across, it would be a difficult route for those without the benefit of flight or a wolfs stamina. Nearing the Howling Crag, the Barbarian Druid...

yeah goblins have always been a bit more chaotic opportunist than anything else so if I ever bothered using alignment CN would be a nice way of doing it without bothering with actual characterisation. Neutral means nothing and is a cop out, but then alignment should be dropped anyway ...

its probably due to being a certain age (plus my nephew adopting it as a catchphrase) but when I hear "you guys" my mind automatically hears Sloth Fratelli you folks is folksy but has the advantage of no implied hostility which can be conveyed by "you lot" and "you people" (which can also come...

A swarm of Shadows gets the stealth takeover of a city

I liked Murder in Cormyr, having a detective story in DnD was a fun idea

Y'all should be reclaimed and celebrated as a fully functional American plural pronoun neologism

that's great to hear, y'all make my linguaphile heart pleased

I've once meet a young woman who used Y'all in natural speech - it was notable as the only time Ive ever heard it used naturally and unironically - it was great. I think that for American usage Y'all should be popularized. Those of us with proper British heritage have a harder row, but You all...

From 2e AD&D MM Rare, Tribal, Canivores, Low Intelligence, Treasure: K,M, (F) Firenewts, also known as salamen, are distant relatives of lizardmen. They are cruel marauders that roam hot regions. The firenewt’s dry skin is a mottled sepia color, darkest along the spine and fading to near-white...

um Salamanders were named by the ancient Greeks in the 4th century BCE. Aristotle speaks of salamandra as creatures of elemental fire and Theophrastus refers to the salamandra as saura (lizard) - amphibians didnt exist at the time. Jewish, Early Christian and Medieval sources followed up on...

Oh! Now Im onboard with Lizardfolk being elementals - Firenewts, Lizard geomancers, Pteradon aarakocra oh my!

Maybe krypton exploded thousands of years ago but it was only visible on earth from 1948 - thus making both correct. Then Kal-els pid went through time dilation effects blah blah arrived in 1950s

Cactus maybe? Lambs ears, pampas, pussywillows even geraniums

Nowadays maybe DnDBeyond or 5e tools
