Your definition of humanocentric seems to be "a human made it." I won't argue over your definition of it- however, it's quite possible to make non-humans seem inhuman. Give them different priorities. Radically different goals. Consider the idea that they don't think like humans; one easy way is...

Supporting local store is obviously the move (assuming you LIKE your local store), but Wizkids was regularly having sales of up to 50% off on their own site. They were legit undercutting the low-cost sites and ebay sellers.. and not just on old stuff.

This could make it extra boss fight-ey: Bane's a lawful evil deity, yeah? Maybe he dictates what triggers his black fist each round. He declares "no weapon of mortal make shall touch Bane!" so dealing damage to him with a weapon that round triggers his super gauntlet reaction. "No spells can be...

That's cool. Sort of reminds me of one of the big blue dragon Pathfinder minis. But the big bad of the book is an Adult, not an Ancient? I ran Red Hand of Doom a year or so ago and the lvl 12 party trounced the blue dragon in it, even after I upped it to an ancient (admittedly I ran A5E).

Is DCC a DnD variant? It has classes and levels. It uses a d20, but it also uses a ton of weird (zocchi) dice. It has 6 attributes, but they don't fully map to 5e (luck, primarily). I'd like to say yes, but gosh how are we defining DnD variants? Ha, that's what this is all about, eh?

Nothing turns me off of an adventure faster than looking early in on it and NOT seeing a summary. It happens sometimes and I cannot understand it.

I'm ignorant of the point you're trying to make. As I said, I was only correcting the suggestions of "kenku have never been bad" and "kenku were enemies in maybe one adventure." Is your point that you can replace enemy "orcs of gruumsh" with "human cultists of orcus" in lots of adventures...

That's a pretty solid point. To be fair video games make money by selling options that aren't purely cosmetic as well, but the cosmetic ones get them in less trouble with the game's community (being accused of Pay-to-Win). But I'd be lying if I said I haven't spent a lot of $ on dumb game skins :|

edit: also, how do you blur your text like that instead of putting it in spoiler blocks?

I mean.. I do have a more exhaustive list, but here are some: Forsaken Arch A City on the Edge Once in Waterdeep The Howling Void Three Faces of Evil Cloak and Shadows Stormcrow Tor Princes of the Apocalypse BTW I provided these just as a fact-check, because someone else above said kenku had...

Age of Worms, they're there for service to Vecna. I happen to be running that campaign so it was an easy answer 😆

I think this is a little misleading. They sure do some bad stuff, even if their alignment isn't listed as evil. MM2 Kenku may appear to be friendly, helpful, and even generous. They freely give treasure to humans and demihumans, but it is rarely genuine and crumbles into dust within a day. They...

I think this needs to be quoted on the book's cover 😅

Appreciate those of you with comments on the game itself- I've played many many board games but haven't heard of Horrified, but I'd welcome a good co-op game that's easy to get into.

There are some historical DnD books out there.. but yes, Reign of Winter is a classic what with the world-hopping-to-ww1-era-ish-earth. But maybe those historical books have some ideas. I'm drawing a blank, though. It's a fun idea to play with, hoping others have better input than I :'D edit...

How do they decide whether to kill eat or love? Kill usually involves "is it threatening us, or does it have something we want and we think it'd kill us if we took it?" Eat/harvest is "will we get mechanical benefits out of it in some way, or possibly mount its skull on our wagon?" Love is "is...

Still trying to figure this out, btw. I added them to my account but I can't figure out where on the site to get said PDFs.

I think that's harsh, considering you're just signing up for a free account and you can get the PDFs for stuff like ToV and ToV's Monster Vault.

Since they're so concerned re: making something not backwards-compatible (a whole new edition), maybe it'd be some sort of conversion supplement- "CritRole-ify your game today! Inject Daggerheart narrative rules like a dagger through the heart!"
