D&D 5E Kickstarter: Humblewood Campaign Setting, featuring cute birds saving their forest

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

40 & 50 year old nerds have lots of money to spend is my guess.

Or people playing with their kids. I'm thinking of picking this up for when my youngest wants to transition from Tails of Equestria to D&D, like everyone else plays. (I'm not sure that dropping her into the sewers of Ptolus to fight thieves and ratfolk is necessarily the best first D&D adventure for a 7 year old.)

Not really my thing but it looks kinda cool.

This Kickstarter has fulfilled, by the way--I backed it, and I got my stuff a few weeks ago. It's all available for sale here:

Humblewood

Humblewood is a forest campaign setting for 5e that includes 10 new bird & critter player races, new monsters, compelling adventure and more!

How is it? Does the content measure up to the art quality? Did the PDF add-ons all get created? Will they be made available to the public, maybe in a single physical collection? Have they indeed started the Humblewood 2 alpha yet?

I have the box set. It’s lovely but I’ve not had a chance to run it.

I like it alot. I find it weird that they don't have the Cats as a playable race DESPITE being named and could've fit right in with the Humblefolk. Cats and Catecombs will handle that nicely.

I also dig their druid interpretation (The Tenders) and will incorporate them in my 5E games as a Druid Organization. The Predator patron from the digital supplement will be used as a rival character for a Druid PC.

As for what to pit Bird/Humblefolk against after the main adventure in the book? 5E's FULL ON Gnolls and Yeenoghu.

Won't they and other races be appearing in another book set in Humblewood's world? IIRC the cats came from the west or something.

I'm not sure. So far the book includes both Bird and Humble folk. The book suggests that different species of animals can represent certain members of both Folk. So a Goose for example can be part of the Ghallus birdfolk. (Canadian Goose Monk FTW)
While a Cervan can be both deer, any hooved animal with/without horns or even a goat.
I'd probably just reskin a Half-Elf/Elf for the cats in it.

This is why I backed it.

Oh, man, I picked up a cop[y of this one. SUPER CUTE. And the included starter adventure looks pretty solidly-written, though I haven't had a chance to run it yet.
