Had to make a small change to mine - Worldbuilding has become front and center; I have a dozen journals I've bought in the last couple of years and am slowly working through them, building a new world in each. I'm up to 7 now (Dragons Must Die, Scions of Sckalmandra, Traders of Mabib, Blood...

Could certainly pull in some ideas from the recent Alien: Earth for this.

With the lead time on design, I'd say look at what was popular/going on about 12-18 months back from when any D&D product comes out - that was probably when the project was green-lit. I don't keep up with Fallout (only ever played a bit of Fallout 3), but it seems like that would more likely...

The Drain Rift also brings up an interesting point - trash disposal. Any ideas? <Edit> Also, disposal of the dead.

It'd probably look like the Bloodstone Land adventures.

Been looking through my (electronic) copies of Dragon, trying to find an article related to the above. I remember it's one of them, talking about Athas possibly being the far future version of one of TSR's campaigns (I was thinking Greyhawk, but perhaps FR). It was among a couple articles of...

I've used it to drive the singular actions of my characters sometimes, but always with the knowledge that D&D is a group game, and the group only survives when it's coherent. So, stuff like betraying the party, stealing from party members and the like are right out. Rivalrlies - like the one...

I seem to recall one of the Hoard of Tiamat/Tyranny of Dragon books having a fabulous picture of Tiamat standing amid her hoard, but I forget where I saw it. This, unfortunately, was the highest res I could find: One thing I do remember about the picture is the gold statues - perhaps...

Also, the noble families of Cynelsa being half-elf. Not in they directly have one human/one elf parent, but that within the last few generations (3?) having an elvin or sylvan descendant. There is enough intermixing of half-elvin blood that the nobility counts back as far as 6 generations of...

"hybridizing orchids" ... hmm, stirs thoughts on a different line... The use of Awaken on plants over the ages has brought into being a race of sentient plants known as the Forestborn. These humanoid plants have gathered into a subcommunity within Greenworth, and they are the ones who have...

My brother was running Tyranny of Dragons, and the gnome artificer turned one of the early villians - a Half-dragon into a pair of boots for one of the party members...

An in-built race/species/background improvement or unlocked ability at 3rd, 5th, 10th and 15th would be appreciated. Especially if they weren't combat-focused.

You would be incorrect. For example, @Nixlord has a series of books that expands the options for races. https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/214641/character-options-talents-5e https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/223942/character-options-talents-ii-5e...

If you like DCC, check out the 5E products that Goodman produces. Especially their Original Adventures Reincarnated line. Also Frog God Games would be a good place to look if you are seeking 5E material that emulates older edition fare. Kobold Press was founded by one of TSR's old guard, and it...
