D&D (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

One issue is what about Animalfolk outside the 10 tribes, like Weasalfolk, Turtlefolk, and Beaverfolk?

I'd assume the live outside the brambles, its implied the lizardfolk came from outside of Valley, so there may be others outside too. Heh - that gives a darker twist to Valley, kinda like Zardoz excluding the Brutals from the idyllic life

Yeah that's what I figure, although not so much exclusion as they mostly live outside the Valley for their own reasons, except for small populations compared to Lizards.

I will also note Frog, Lizards, and Birds are not actual species, there are a host of species with each group unlike Racoons.

Maybe Hasbro is awaiting to test the reaction and feedback by the community. Here the key is to create new PC furry species with enough originality and not only clones or rip-off of ones by 3PPs. They could see the number of sales of Humblewood in D&D-Beyond.

In the next years they could create a new plane like Bloomburrow but about sentient animals in the ruins of a post-apocaliptic urban zone, with a little touch of Gamma World. And also sentient toys.

Coatis feel excluded.

Lets see what Bloomborrow ends up like first. Personally I would prefer a Duskmourn setting book, but I would not oppose a Bloomborrow book, I don't have that weird hate for furries that some do, although its not my jam.

I see a great potential for Duskmourn. Even it could be adapted to an action-live production, but a sourcebook would be mainly a monster compedium, or an adventure style "Saturday night in the hell". To be "playable" the lore should allow more opportunities to escape. Maybe in the future Valgavoth could be "defeated" and then other demons would steal part of "its" power to create their own "domains" style "ghost city", like almost spin-off.

Or there is a planar rift between Innistrad and Duskmourn, and then Valgavoth realises there are "unwanted guests" who can't feel fear in the same way.

I know this sounds totally crazy but I imagine a "micronauts-duskmourn" crossover. How? A group of humans don't survive, and then they are reincarnated into... action-figures. They are small but not the preys any more, and they want to help other humans to survive.

What if a native from Bloomburrow travels to other plane, would be changed the size?

Maybe Bloomburrow is very coold and fun, but the number of options for a long campaign is too low, because we only know the calamity beasts as antagonist forces, and a D&D setting needs a great variety of antagonist factions.

what is duskmourn?

what is duskmourn?

another MTG plane, a non-euclidean hell-house possessed by a demon

You don't show your full hand if you don't have to. You save some for a future expansion.

An option could be reskinning classical PC species as animalfolk, for example goblings as ratfolk, but here we face the great size differences between species.

And we should wonder about what happens when furry species (leonin, tabaxi, giff, thri-keen, kenku, aacokras, centaurs, grungs, torttles, minotaurs, loxodon, ..) traveled to Bloomburrow plane, or if animalfolk from the "Valley" travelled toward other plane.

* Why not a mash-up setting mixing Bloomburrow and Duskmourn? Animalfok surviving in a zombie post-apocalypse in urban cities. They are slow and easy to be sensed but they are too much and very big. At least a trick is birfolk singing and fyling near a fall zone, and the gravity has to do the rest of the work. But the werewolves may be more dangerous.

Take a step through the Omenpaths and enter Bloomburrow, a plane filled with animalfolk and heroes of every size and species.

Apparently the other types of Animalfolk like Weaselfolk and Molefolk are just lower in population.

And there is a mystery as to what is the source of the enchantment that turns visitors into Animalfolk.

The only race/heritage/species I miss is Turtlefolk.
And one of my players would love Kitsune... I mean Foxfolk.

So my campaign will start in a Turtlefolk village and the level 20 Big Bad Guy will be a Turtledragon.

I'll add some L5R style houses (alá Game of Thrones), a couple unique calamity beasts and we are good to go.
