  • That was how it worked in the playtest. The sidebar saying “pick a race you really are and pretend to be half the other race” is gone from the 2024 PHB. Rules as written, you can only be fully one race, this of course doesn’t actually matter as the whole thing is imaginary bullshit but in organised play it’ll sometimes come up.







  • This is a really good idea, I might make their laws very simplistic. I might even steal the ones from Animal Farm.

    In my mind the mongrelfolk definitely won’t be inherently evil. Paranoid or scared of outsiders, definitely. But they should have near-human intelligence, but slightly diminished.

    Professor Moreau to me is the evil one but purely because he doesn’t hold much regard for the lives of the people he has experimented on, especially in a world with polymorph magic and Druidic wildshape. Though Moreau will be helpful to the players and give them no good reason to kill him, since they’re his chance to regain control of his lab.

    I’ve been going back and forth on if Moreau will want the mongrelfolk dead, since they’d hold more scientific value to him kept alive.





  • The only actual play I’ve ever actually found myself enjoying is oxventure, they’re not the best example of a proper actual play though since they usually don’t follow the rules too closely and are more of a fantasy improv group vaguely using 5e rules, sometimes blades in the dark or SWADE Deadlands.

    Although I’ve only started listening fairly recently and haven’t gotten up to the Deadlands stuff yet.

    I can understand getting hyper-focused an MMO, because they try to pile in all kinds of content: quests, raids, dungeons, professions, seasonal events, exploration, PvP, PvE, etc. But, Fortnite and LoL lack a lot of those features.

    The one criticism I’d say you can’t make about fortnite is a lack of content, every season they add a completely new gameplay feature then remove it next season, right as it gets stale. There was a season where you could just be Spider-Man and web swing around, a season where there were planes and dogfighting, a season where you could get the infinity gauntlet and be thanos. Plus some others but I don’t play the game so I only hear about it second hand.
