For the past two weeks I’ve been diligently working on this homebrew project. While I did have plans for future monsters, I’m beginning to run out of steam and must shelve it for the foreseeable future. I’d like to return to it sometime, but with 40 unique entries I’m quite happy with what I...

Aartuk: The goblins and gith were not the only ones whose civilizations were destroyed by the daelkyr. The aartuk are one of the more unusual example, being sentient mobile plants infused with radiant energy. Their numbers vastly reduced, the aartuk survivors are a warrior society who worship a...

Choker: Calling themselves the Siashlien, or Deep Speech for “Survivors,” chokers have long been regarded as nuisances at best, dangers at worst, by miners and other subterranean denizens of Khyber. It was long thought that the Siashlien were little more than evolved animals due to their...

In today's Droaamish Department of Labor survey, we see how our fine beholderkin citizens excel in the industries of construction, communication, and food preparation! Gauth: More common than true beholders, gauths take advantage of common misconceptions others have towards them in order to...

Chitine & Choldrith: Chitines are an offshoot of elves who appealed to one of the fiendish overlords of Khyber during the uprising against the giant empires of Xen’drik. Disappearing into the dark tunnels they believed themselves free, only to discover that they traded one wicked master for...

Jackalwere: Calling themselves the “Chor’eska,” or “hounds of the desert” in Goblin, the jackalwere are related to lycanthropes rather than being a unique subtype. During the downfall of the Empire of Dhakaan, their people sought to rid themselves of the lunar curse via an alliance with a...

I'd highly recommend the Delver's Guide to Beast World, which is all about being a D&D Furry Setting. Here are the playable races in it: Bats Bovines Canines Celerine (rabbits) Cervine (elk) Dragons Equines Felines Jackals Kobolds Laetines (ferrets and otters) Ligonines (armadillos, moles...

Geonid (The Tortle Package): Geonid are small shelled beings of elemental earth originating from Kythri. When withdrawn into their shells they appear indistinguishable from boulders, and their close connection to stone gives them a psychometric sense of the type and number of creatures that have...

Berbalang (Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse): The aberrations known as berbalang rarely appear on the Material Plane, preferring to wander the realm of Dolurrh and divining ancient knowledge from spirits. They rarely work for others save for the promise of secrets or the bones...

Khargra (Earth, Mordenkainen’s Fiendish Folio, Volume 1): These metal-eating elementals are primarily used by dwarves of the Mror Holds, although a few found their way to Droaam. It was a common tactic in border conflicts with Breland for a summoner to conjure groups of the creatures, sending...

I have heard about the Drakkenhall sourcebook, but never got around to picking it up. How much of it is minable for other settings vs being 13th Age specific? Regarding livestock, I covered that a bit in regards to the Cyclops entry.

Crab Folk (Mordenkainen’s Fiendish Folio, Vol. 1): Originating in the Shadow Marches, crab folk were ogres transformed by Sora Katra to be better adapted to aquatic terrain. Using secret and powerful rituals, the green hag embedded generational curses to make them pliable to her commands, living...

Mephit: Were it not for gargoyles, mephits would be the most common elemental in Droaam. Gathering in manifest zones connected to favored planes, mephits are a common summonable workhorse for Droaam’s architects and artisans. Via use of their breath weapons, mephits can conjure a prodigious...

Grimlock: These subterranean humanoids evolved to rely on auditory senses without the need for vision. Existing as subsistent hunter-gatherer tribes, grimlocks migrate from their home caves when resources become scarce enough or stronger monsters force them to move. The Dhakaani knew of them...

Blindheim (Mordenkainen’s Fiendish Folio Vol. 1): Calling themselves Vol’shera (Goblin for “Sun Thieves”), the blindheim were at war with the Dhakaani Empire. According to their personal history, they were forced underground once the goblinoids began winning, they had to contend with Khyber’s...

The nation of Droaam has always been fascinating to me. Exploring Eberron talked about the concept of Wide Magic: magical services and spells are commonplace, but with greater focus on low-level capabilities and magitech-style items and industry. Artifacts and archmages are just as rare, if not...

This anime was a masterpiece. It was so good, it convinced my Dad to order the manga so we can continue on with the story where the show left off.

Chapter 8: Monsters This chapter not only talks about what sorts of monsters are common and rare in the world of Solasta, it also provides new ones organized into specific groups. The Sorr-Akkath are prominent enough to get a chapter of their own. Basically, the Rift cut off access to the outer...

None of the feats from the video games are in this book. The only mechanics-related stuff we have left to cover are monsters. There is a chapter on unreleased key and concept art, but I can't really review that besides perhaps showing off a few of the pictures.

Classes, Part II The concept of the Monk originated among Tirmarian warrior societies, ranging from those who combined their training with religious principles to those who sought to find ways to fight without weapons for necessity and other reasons. Like so many other traditions it spread to...
