There is a playable Satyr now (thanks to Theros), but I was able to kitbash one by picking Alternate Tiefling Abilities and going Bard. I didn't get the Satyr Pipes but I could have asked my DM to let me "re-tool" a Pipes of the Sewers or similar magic pipes. Gotta work on my role-play for...

Since the stat penalties are gone, a Kobold. I want to re-fluff Grovel, Cower and Beg into Center of Attention and give all my friends Advantage against a group of enemies. Now, how to do that without staying within easy reach of (or in the middle of) a group of enemies when their turn(s)...

When I chaperoned a high school trip to Spain, the store staffs in Barcelona were the most helpful to a group of tourists, compared to the other cities we visited.

A video that uses a shoebox as a stage and has two hands-in-stockings that talk, would be unique and memorable. Hopefully memorable in a good way. Creating a couple of alias-monikers ... nah, that's a can of worms today and an embarrassing incident waiting to happen tomorrow.

The variant that kills you* should be known as the Megatron variant. The Optimus Prime variant will be the one that, once you get it, your antibodies fight off every other variant with no further ado. Because, well, hero. * generic you not you personally

Per Dr. Gottlieb's (prior FDA Commissioner) book, a lot of the US public health bureaucracy is rear-view-mirror oriented, not future-oriented. Taking action to prevent an upcoming problem is unfamiliar territory, but analysis after the fact is their forte.

Back when there was somebody in almost every family who was an eyewitness to what the Nazis caused and did?

... or the horrifying Gnomish 'initial prototype' attempt at a personal airship that involves a comfy lawn chair and a bunch of hot-air / hydrogen balloons?

Waterdeep is not created to be a fertile field for a social-change adventure. Rather, it is the refuge Adventurers go to when they need to replenish supplies and research / purchase a McGuffin to defeat their upcoming BBEG. However, nothing prevents the campaign from being set in the nearby...

007 vs Spectre ?

After the 'tastes great' side has consumed a few, they won't notice it's also less filling and they can have a few more.

Historical societies will have their non-modern systems, but the DM is not required to rub the players' noses in it. Yes it is there if the players ask - and they can decide to 'be the light' or try to oppose the darkness - but for the NPCs that is their normal and unremarkable. If the...

The 3e adventure Cormyr: Tearing of the Weave featured a shadowfell-ly demiplane with a magic gadget in it that makes the demiplane bigger. Somebody wants it, or the blueprints, or enough photos &c to build a duplicate. Obviously, some conversion required.

The Internet would be less heated - closer to room temperature - without so many people trying to out-upcast Fireball at each other. Productivity? Gotta find out how much of the arguments are being conducted on the sly from work.

OP: Working from the assumption that you just left a gaming session where another character / caricature really got you upset ... Why is it a good response to scold the rest of the world about it? The person who you need to discuss this with is the other player.

The Godfather (focus on Michael Corleone not Don Vito) in a galaxy far far away.

A political intrigue -heavy miniseries showing how Palpatine's minions / cohorts were pouring sand and monkey wrenches in the Republic's machinery of government, so the Senate could never reach nor implement a decision when it mattered. Of course a Jedi troubleshooter is assigned to...
