Karokans – a Crabfolk Race for D&D 5e

Shawn Ellsworth — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 02:30:32 +0000

This week on the Campaign Trail, I thought I would share a new undersea racial option I am working on for the Under the Seas of Vodari. Some of our backers mentioned they wanted to see some kind of crustacean racial option. I already had crabfolk on the top of my list of options I hadn’t been able to fit into the book. I’m working on expanding out the lore, so this is mainly stat blocks for now. If people […]

Unearthed Arcana 2021: Folk of the Feywild Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:06:04 +0000

There’s a new collection of Feywild (not all of them fey) races in the new Unearthed Arcana document, continuing the vein of new player races we last saw in Gothic Lineages. There are four new player races here, and every one of them came as a surprise to me in one way or other. I want to establish up front, though, that me making jokes about the fourth of those races won’t be a rare bit. The byline for this […]

Time to create some story or get one in DMs Guild, create some characters, and start rolling. You could all choose to play monster races ready to kill adventurers, using the races Shawn did in this article some time ago. However, what if you want to play some misunderstood monstrous […]
