There was also the Alternity RPG that debuted in 1997 and was discontinued in 2000 after the acquisition of TSR by WoTC. Like Star Frontiers, it was also incorporated into d20 Future.

3e's Bastion Press had a race of dogfolk called the Dover. They resembled anthropomorphic German Shepherd Dogs. Has anyone watched the Road Rovers cartoon? curious The Madrai now remind me of them. :p

Most likely the latter since some of these homebrewers/DMs are likely to put their work on the DMsGuild website. These homebrewers/DMs are doing Wizards' work for them by filling in those unexplored regions of a given Material world.

That is a surprisingly good analogy for character generation in RPGs such as PF2 and Level Up. :) Level Up's Heritage is sort of like PF2's Ancestry in that it gives you all of the traits your character is going to be born with (size, speed, ag, senses, and a unique signature trait). It also...

It's cool. I do like to focus on creating characters. World building doesn't really excite me as much as coming up with a character concept and then fleshing it out via 5e or Level Up.

How about a Fiend Folio for 5e?

Does Dungeon and Dragons: The Book of Dragons count as TTRPG lore and therefore as a TTRPG purchase?

A 5e take on Toril's sister planet of Abeir?

I like the degree of character customization that you can get with Heritage, Culture, Background and Destiny while keeping things short and simple.

Another Level Up reference. In that 5e adjacent RPG, Culture alongside Heritage, Background and Destiny play a part in developing your character's origin. It represents all of the learned traits your character gained while growing up in a particular society. For instance, if you were playing a...

So, which cultural traits of the elves and which cultural traits of the humans do you see either culture having in terms of game mechanics? And how did such a mixed culture come about in the first place? I think you mean they should be sociological in nature. Yes, Geography and biology do play...

Maybe we're looking at a pic of Athas during its' Green Age? ;) Back when it resembled every other world on the Material Plane. Before the dark times...

True. It might also depend on where their deities might have chosen to place them when the setting was created. Did their deities pick out some prime real estate for their chosen species that happened to be some distance from the neighbors? Or did the deities decide to let their chosen species...

Culture should be associated with species because the latter created the former over a period of time. It's the social contract that members of that species created thru consensus to determine amongst themselves as to what was right and what was wrong, what traditions they were going to develop...

No, but they can certainly try. I think PF1 was just as bad in this department as 3e was. ;)

It wouldn't be a book. It would be a tome. The Tome of Dragons. ;)

Yes. They're on page 149. :)

How about bringing some of the 4e dragons into 5e? ;) 4e added some new Chromatic and Metallic dragons into the mix.

Maybe you should take a look at Level Up's Destiny feature? It provides the PCs a reason to leave behind their homes, their friends and their jobs to undertake an adventure well outside their comfort zone.

Yeah, it would have been interesting to see some of the 4e dragons, like the Cobalt dragon and the Orium dragon, appearing in this book. Make it a book on True Dragons. ;)
