    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    good ideas everyone. I have to admit giving ink to underwater gargoyles makes me giggle so it will most likely happen. will go over the other feedback when I have time. Diet Despite their imposing physiques and reputation as aerial ambush predators, gargoyles have surprisingly varied — and...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    I thought about how many gargoyles of a location were determined by the GM, and that while I have a mechanism to create a gargoyle, not every single statue becomes one? @Corinnguard , I will have to follow this up, but as for favourite character period, that's easy, it's Macbeth. I wish they...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Honestly, a cathedral getting a gargoyle would be like getting a stray dog or cat. they would be adored by the locals and considered a gift from the gods. :D ...and the next time the Vikings invade your cathedrals/monasteries/nunneries, they will get one hell of a surprise as that scary statue...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    ooh new book potential, ty kindly. As for gargoyles, I'm a pretty hard Keith David fan and this introduced me to him. I would say Goliath, but Hudson always amused me as well. It's fun having a lovable old-timer as the group's wisdom, especially with his pet "dog." :D and now that Bronx has...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    @Brendan Byrd ty kindly. :) @Tonguez I like it, I particularly like the stone stance. @Corinnguard, you just reminded me of one of my favorite "guilty pleasure" movies. Gargoyle angels really do have their own feel, and it would really add a fun option to the upper planes (which is sorely...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    ty kindly edited. now doing two things firstly the next section Appearance Gargoyles share a common silhouette recognizable across cultures and continents, yet no two are ever truly alike. Their base anatomy reflects a blend of living stone biology, architectural design logic, and the...

    Gothic vs Lovecraft

    I did some stewing on this on another forum. Then Ken and Rob jogged my memory. Here is the first blog entry. What is worse, the devil you know, or the cosmic horror you don't? https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2025/10/gothic-vs-lovecraft-horror-of-all-time.html

    Why do we need thieves??

    Honestly, because deep down, it's fun to scam the system for a fraction of the cost. let them spend thousands of gold pieces on magic items as you beat it with a bag of flour. afterall, hit it!

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    I am thinking let's keep it simple. Disadvantage to perception/investigation checks, stonecunning negates. I am also looking for any public domain and/or creative commons for the blog which means...show me your favorite medieval grotesques/gargoyles. :D

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    ok got the fluff done (roughly 30 pages worth). I wrote the base one up in 5.0 D&D, but I'm unsure of the changes in 2024, so I'm posting it here. Gargoyle (Baseline) Medium elemental, typically neutral Armor Class 16 (stone hide) Hit Points 60 (8d8 + 24) Speed 30 ft., fly 40 ft...

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Nobody ever uses them beyond a speed bump, and honestly, I'd rather play a gargoyle over an aarakocra as a pc. so here's a quick brainstorm. so here's my thoughts. Gargoyles are sentient, ambulatory stone organisms sculpted from the architecture of faith, fear, or memory. They “grow” from...

    D&D General Living Greyhawk - tell me about your games?

    I heard there is a bunch of stuff created by the Living Greyhawk back in the day that can't be found, much less used, from this golden era, due to legal reasons. I'm seriously curious. So tell me about your Living Greyhawk stuff? Bonus points if you can figure out a way to make it legally...

    I learned how to make gunpowder from GURPS High Tech. I also learned of the Duck's Foot Pistol from the same book. GURPS Hight Tech basically gave me my first primer on the development of modern warfare. I really liked Middle Ages 1 and really wish that series had continued. I'm glad to own...
