[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9829074, member: 6801776"] We're talking a legacy Dungeons and Dragons race that's been around since before I was born, we're not talking Blades in the Dark. If I knew obscure Blades in the Dark sources of playable races since before I was born, sure, whatever Don't you reductio ad absurdum me on this one. We're talking Tortles, a legacy D&D race from the Creature Catalog published 1986. You know what else is in the Creature Catalog? Krakens. They too good to appear as monsters in your campaign? Allosaurus too exotic and rare? Dogs, eagles, hawks, deer, all more creatures from that book, along with those climbing lizards that ended up with the drow down the line. Rock golems are in this book (also silver golems and uh. iron gargoyles, but iron gargoyles are nasty), living statues, magen, nightmares, lupin, rakasta, plenty of classic D&D critters All these classic D&D monsters too exotic for your setting? Heck, we're not even getting into the wilder stuff. Want the Tran from the Icerigger setting? They're there. They're called Cryion. Want chicken people for some reason? They're there. Want giant fire worms who are apparently relatives of purple worms? Fuzzy ice snakes who live in the arctic? Actual Sandworms from Dune called Thunderhearders? All in there. No, we're asking you look at the menu of the store for once so we don't just have the same food every week. You might be okay with fried rice every week, but some of us would like to try that sichuan chicken, or maybe even just the honey chicken. Throw in some of the Mongolian beef while you're at it. You're the one ignoring the menu's had those options for decades and haven't ordered them once [/QUOTE]
