    D&D General What do you do for housing?

    For humans I like Roman and Persian style Villas with the internal atriums and impluviums (water basin features), peristyle internal gardens, colonnaded walkways, mosaic floor textures and private spaces off the central courtyard. Peasants might live in wattle and daub cottages, or in caves...

    Bringing Ecological Conservation into Dark Fantasy Worldbuilding

    For the Bee Rebellion the players initially went in to defend the apiarist from what they perceived as attacks from giant bees. I also did a red herring set piece of a small mob of Wasp-Troll hybrids nesting under the bridge leading to the apiaries and thus blocking deliveries. Luckily the party...

    Thud! was published 2005, Pratchett announced his diagnosis in 2007 whereby he was exploring treatment options and becoming a Alzheimers advocate - I dont pretend to know what that involved but do assume that he was distracted hence Unseen Academicals coming out in 2009. After that it seems...

    while Lankhmar is the quintessential Urban Fantasy setting seen across all fantasy cities, Ankh-Morpork is pretty clearly a parody of Dickensian London, which just happens to also be a squalid, crime ridden, fantastical urban sprawl. I very much agree with your premise here and it is very much...

    Bringing Ecological Conservation into Dark Fantasy Worldbuilding

    I've done maybe 3 adventures that fit the ecological models 1. The local starts expanding, flooding adjacent farmland with what the peasants call sick water. Swamp dwelling stirges attack sheep, some livestock miscarry. Thus the local baron (a PC) decides to get in pumps and drain the swamp...

    D&D General So… psionic powers are no longer purely mental?

    Yeah the 5e designers gave up on making Psionics mean anything and just made it a spellcaster with vaguely thematic spells. I dont know if any 3rd parties have created an actual working Psionics system

    D&D General Mounted Archers

    The Sidekick rules in Tasha's Cauldron can be applied to Mounts - levelling HP and Proficiency and for a Warrior Pet granting Second Wind, Defender stance and Extra Attack. They make for some tactically fun companion options - next time I play a goblin I want a giant frog mount!
