World Building: Humans

Humans are always the basic group in most fantasy world, being very similar, if not identical, to our world's humans. I'm my game I want to change the idea of a human. You'll still be able to make the standard ape evolved human of our world but that's only a small group of human.

My game will have three major species: Fae, Homunculus, and Humans. The only trait that all humans share collectively is that they are flesh, but this is not the rule as some minor species also share this but have other traits that separate them.

Being that they are made of flesh, humans more often than not display characteristics of animals, and by extension, gain similar benefits. I'm personally not going to designate specific racial groups as all humans can procreate, but there are, for lack of a better term, categories that people fall into based on physical traits.

Dwarves

Dwarves are often denoted by poor eye sight, powerful noses, and shovel-like hands and claws. Commonly taking traits from badgers, gophers, moles, and shrews. Due to this subterranean advantage, they often form cities in mountains and underground alongside Homunculus.

Centaur

Adventurous Centaur are often sought for their switches in combat. Running on four hoofed legs while being able to wield a weapon makes them excellent warriors and casters. Other than their shared ungulate like legs, centaurs can vary wildly depending on their heritage.

Giants and Trolls

Giant is rarely the only term used to describe someone, and usually is the preface to their other indicator. Giant centaurs may be similar to giraffe or giant orcs are elephantine.

Goblins and Halflings

Goblins and Halflings are two sides of the same coin, often just any human that is a shorter stature than standard humans. Goblins are typically nocturnal or subterranean while Halflings live in the sun.

Minotaur and Satyrs

Similar to Centaurs, Minotaur and Satyrs have hoofed feet but only two legs. Minotaur are also typically grouped with giants as they are just larger Satyrs.

Orcs

A muscular build is common among Orcs but the true denoting feature of an Orc is their prominent tusks. Orcs share many traits of other tusked animals like boars, elephants, or walruses, but can appear as many others as well.

Triton

Triton is an extremely broad group as it refers to any humans that live the vast majority of their lives in the water. Typically you will refer to a Triton group with a secondary term. A Triton Dwarf maybe a deep sea Triton, a Triton Giant likely resemble whales, and Triton Satyrs are similar to sea horses and hippocampus.

At this point in think that D&D has more ardent support than lutheranism. And it's adherents are somehow even more annoying.

A Wizard Hut Triptych

[d20-dimwit]

I've had this book for a few years. I loved the inside cover so much and have been wanting to turn it into a dice box. Now that I'm prepping for my Mystery Flesh Pit game, I was finally inspired to get it done. It's a medical encyclopedia from the 1950s, very outdated but interesting to read through as I flipped through for pictures to cut out. The pictures on the bottom of the cut-out were found from inside the book itself.

Made some concept pictures for my new players to pick a game to play. Mystery Flesh Pit RPG, Death in Space, and The Isle of Dread with Gem Scales play testing. Thanks to u/countermagic89 on Reddit for the Fallout 4 custom supercomputer build, it was perfect for Death in Space.

In the spirit of going back to this blog's roots, hating on 5e, I've been thinking of doing a chart thats like "If you like this aspect of 5e, here's a game that does it better!", Can yall name some common reasons people say they like 5e and won't leave it? besides the usual sunk cost fallacy and "its too complicated!" reasonings

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

How a good tabletop RPG works:

People who treat D&D's classes as like being in any way representative of fiction outside of D&D are my nemesis, I just saw a post that was like "remember the difference between a Sorcerer a Warlock and a Wizard is this" and treating like those words as if their very D&D specific meanings were like universally accepted I'm going to start taking hostages

if u voted for trump, I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, I do not want anything to do with you. Not only did you vote against basic human rights and equality, you decided rascism, homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia & misogynistic behavior wasn't a deal breaker. i do not want your follow or support ! thank you.

Some drawings of my old cryptid OCs.

The headless coyotes are the Leery Mimric, made when a coyote is struck by lightning. They convince humans to wear their masks so they can possess them and pilot their body and cause mischief.

And the other are Clown Apes who are mountain dwelling cryptids with kaleidoscopically patterned faces that can induce hallucinogenic trance states as a predator deterrent (but usually its just hikers).

Art tag for more of these ocs

Just finished my first read through. Absolutely in love with it. Sci-fi/sci-fantasy is my shit. If you liked the Vermis books then you'll love this. Plastiboo and his team are amazing story tellers and all three books always leaving me questioning who I even am as a person.

Also, I need Tulp and B.B plushies @plastiboo
