Forget the obelisks, I want to know why there a named Hag and Hag Coven in every 5E WotC campaign book. There's something strange going on there...

If classes are going to grant abilities just about every level, then I think race should do something similar as well. I'd advocate for 1st/3rd/5th/7th/9th (or 1st/5th/9th) abilities myself. And preferably not "+1 to X stat". 1E and 2E didn't really need this sort of thing as there were no...

The fighter got the shaft when they decided in 3E to enforce niche protection for the classes, instead of letting everyone be "well-rounded". Rogue got the "skill monkey" niche, so of course, couldn't give the Fighters skills* - they had to be big, dumb meat shields because your were going to...

Green orcs is more of a Warhammer Fantasy thing, I believe. Color-coded dragons - and metallic dragons certainly comes from the popularity of D&D.

Dark Sun as a two-book set; "Adventures in Dark Sun" & "Player's Guide to Dark Sun" The Campaign-length adventure book? I dunno, but I expect it will hearken to a half-dozen 1E adventures by name, but not content.

I picked up a neat little book recently called Petty Gods. It really got me thinking because it is a collection of just-above-human gods who hold dominion over a very narrow slice of reality - for example, there's one petty god of a specific tavern who protects the tavern, its customers and...

Subraces can really do a lot of work, and having feats/traits that kick in at 3rd & 5th is also an option that keeps species interesting and relevant. I've often been bothered by the fact that all advancement is tied to class, but past 1st level race rarely evolves, changes or has much of a...

Well, there's 14 for my homebrew... cut it down to 12? Animalfolk (a fey race that would cover essentially Aarakokra, Centaur, Hybisil, Haregon, Tabaxi, Thri-kreen, Minotaur, Lizardfolk, Leonin, Loxodon, Giff and the like) Dragonfolk Dwarf Elf Human Halfling Human Hellchilde (covers Tiefling...

I've been working on my homebrew rulebooks, putting in AI art where's there is significant white space. I'm up to apparently 620 pictures now. Some of the ones I'm more fond of: These four linked pictures below are from the opening of the Background section:
