The menten have a large amount of morphability. Given time, they can absorb or create additional limbs as needed, generally having 6-8 (4 arms and 2-4 "legs"). Their limbs don't have bones and are more akin to tentacles.

Wouldn't that just be Ravenloft? ;)

1. Depends. If the characters are on a quest and have an idea there might be one in the area - or they search, I'd probably throw in some extra description to alert the party to something that might get them to further examine or fiddle with the area until they find or successfully manipulate...

And thus the mining town Hadley's Hope was shortly overrun. Little did the adventuring group know that Rust Monsters, left on their own, would spawn a very hungry Queen...

A couple Menten, my replacements for Mind Flayers in my homebrew.

You can make a cage with wooden pegs instead of nails, or leather strapping or even go with fortified wicker. Geez, now I'm imagining someone carrying a (baby) rust monster around in a wicker baby carriage or a handbag...

I seem to remember an adventure that had bandits dressed in leather armor and using clubs that had a rust monster on a leash. They would threaten to unleash the rust monsters against metal-bearing victims who didn't pay their toll.

The D&D team needs to sell something to customers, and they may be looking at prior content and realizing they're not going to get great returns on rehashing 2014 5E content, and new rule content will likely get stale quickly. If they posit to turn to keeping their customers engaged with...

I'd do what the they did back in 3E. Have a campaign world contest, selecting the best submitted world for publishing. I think that would create a lot of hype and wonder over what will be chosen. Along with that, announce that Adventure League play would have an effect on events to grow the...

I would have just really liked if WotC would do a from scratch kitchen-sink campaign world for 5E, just to show everyone they still have that creative juice and aren't just picking the dry bones of the old game.

It's a lost cause at this point.

They're great while they are in motion. It's the ending and aftermath that everyone gets disappointed with.

Vecna: Eve of Ruin and Turn of Fortune's Wheel. At the end they both suggest there has been underlying changes to the multiverse that will affect old and new lore, and a undercurrent that big changes are likely coming.

A lot of D&D is influenced by whatever is popular in science fiction/fantasy. Gary's vision of fantasy was from the 60's and before; my influences are certainly from the 80's and D&D is very much taking on the wardrobe of modern fantasy. Some aspects are anchored by the previous generation...

Yo! But when I got to 2nd edition, I started using the "slow advancement" rules. Didn't have much effect on PC choices.

@ECMO3 - any character deaths or is everybody still rocking the characters they started with?

I'd say for my homebrew its 75-90% human. Elves, Dwarves and Goblinoids (Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear, Orc, Gnoll) are the next biggest groups, I'd say between 3%-5% each. Lesser humanoids from there would be Animalfolk, Halflings, Lizardfolk, Dragonborn and Gnomes at 1% each or less. Humanoids...
