[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 7237627, member: 6801845"] I know OwlBears are part of 5E because they're on page 249 of the Monster Manual. If someone asks why we have such a dumb monster I can lean in and in my best old man voice (really my regular voice nowadays) and say [INDENT][I]"Well, sonny let me tell you about a land long ago and far away. The 70s." [/I] After waiting for their gasps of anticipation die down I continue, looking around to ensure no one else is watching. [I]"See, back then there was this Gygax fella. He need some miniatures for his game and he came across some cheap plastic minis made in Japan."[/I] A brief 20 minute tangent on how Commie China was not a big trade partner back then follows of course, to the rapt attention of young minds eager for knowledge of ages past.
