Orc-like beings who came from a magical swamp during the time of primordial chaos.
They have the face of a bat🦇 and the skin of a frog🐸, and flexible bones to squeeze and slither through roots and trees!

From our recent book "Ancestries & Cultures of Hemelin". Play as a Boggard or one of 14 other Ancestries!

I’ve been fascinated with the underground town of Coober Pedy, in Australia, b/c it’s the Opal mining capital of the world, and my birthstone is the Opal. Plus, it’s a very interesting place.
B/c it’s so hot, 80% of the town is underground. You can buy an above-ground house, if you really want one, but all homes are relatively inexpensive.
Shopping is underground.
Bars, coffee shops, & restaurants are also underground.
Churches are underground, too.
You can visit & stay in one of the many motels. This is the lobby of a Comfort Inn.

my warden mahariel dressed up a little for formal occasions- his hair is usually pretty messy cuz it’s loose when he’s fighting or climbing trees or tumbling through bushes so it probably takes a while to untangle it and comb out all the twigs and stuff and wrestle it into a neat braid and he probably hates every second of it
Ancestry & Culture: An alternative to Race in 5e
I just got my physical copy of this wonderful tome by Arcanist Press! It has a great introduction that explains why the use of the term “Race” in our beloved role-playing games is so problematic, and then offers a great solution for it that fits right in-between existing 5e rules.
We’ve been looking for a good alternative to “Race” for the character options we publish on our patreon, and we’re now going to do some tests to see if this model is something we could use.
I highly recommend you check it out! The free preview on DiveThruRPG includes the introduction & full rules for alternate character creation.

I don’t understand why “race” is somehow a bad thing in D&D?
Some people have responded to this idea with some confusion, so I’ll try to explain it as best I can.
Why “Race”, as used in Role-Playing Games, is bad.
Most role-playing games explicitly combine a person’s physical traits with their morality into one package at character creation, usually presented as “Race”. By doing this, these games (often unwittingly) support the idea that a person’s genetics decide a person’s morality and worth.
This is a bad thing because there are people who play these games – black people, disabled people, women, just to name a few – who have been told their entire lives they are lesser than others because of the way they were born; because of the way they look. For them, this kind of bigotry is a painful, every day reality. No-one should have to experience that in a game.
This is also why just renaming “Race” as it is presented in role-playing games to something like “Species” doesn’t help as much as you’d think. It doesn’t address the problem at it’s root – the false idea that a person’s genetics determines their worth (or: their traits).
Why I think “Ancestry” and “Culture” is a good alternative.
By splitting Ancestry – the physical traits inherited from one’s parents, and Culture – the traits taught to you by your parents & community, the game mechanics no longer explicitly imply a person’s genetics (or: appearance) determine their morality and perceived worth. In this updated system, Bad Tieflings can still exist. Evil dark elves can still exist. Bigoted people who believe all Tieflings and all Dark Elves are evil can still exist.
But those things are no longer assumed to be true at character creation.
Why I’m excited to start using the Ancestry & Culture method.
The world all of our games take place in, Hemelin, has various diverse cultures dotted around the place. I have often struggled to express this well using the existing mould of “Race”, but before I discovered the “Ancestry & Culture” method, I didn’t understand what was causing this struggle.
I find that using separate Ancestries and Cultures provides much more robust framework for us to design player options for our world with. I’m excited at the prospect of being able to present various cultures that players can identify with without needing to also be of a certain ancestry! I’m excited to empower our players to create more diverse characters that reflect our game world!!

The witches have come to lay their claim.
a pair of mischievous goblins examine their new charge
Ebony and Tenebrous were aghast. “Did you hear what those fairies gave her? Beauty, grace and willingness to please? Bast’s tits, that’s a terrible thing to do to a kitten.“ Ten got up on her hind legs. “Never trust a flying thing that gives you a mouthful of glitter when you catch it. Come on, Eb, let’s give her our gifts.” “Like half a shrew? I tried giving her that, her dam shouted at me.“ “Quite right too,“ said Ten wisely, “it’s got be at least four weeks before she can manage the skulls. That’ll be my gift then. May you always be able to manage skulls. Big ones, small ones, beaky ones, mousey ones, any sort of skull.“ Ebony copied her sister’s pose. “And may you always catch the flying things. Then you’ll never be hungry, and that’s much better than fairy wishes.” *** Thirty years later, Alba was everyone’s favourite keeper at the zoo. Not only could she cure her colleagues’ headaches just by telling their skulls to give over, but she was the only person they’d ever know who could work alone in the emu enclosure…
YES THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
It got even BETTER!!!

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.
I have also learned this is great for [PICK A COOL NAME FOR A SHIP] and [LOOK UP THE FACTS ABOUT OXYGEN LEVELS] and [WHAT’S THE WORD] and [DOUBLECHECK CHARACTER’S EYE COLOR] and ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
Anything that isn’t critical in the moment, and could be filled in later while I’m currently trying to burn through writing pages that will be lost if I don’t get them out right now? Brackets.
This is good for research essays too! Esp like confirming citations and double checking facts!
This is also a really good habit for editing- use a symbol like brackets you wouldn't otherwise use in the text, so you can easily find areas that still need to be written later. Especially helpful writing online with search and find features.
Quarantine: Day 🤷♀️
FRIEND: How’re you doing with the whole quarantine thing?
ME: Oh I’m fine with the isolation. Honestly it’s not really any different to my normal everyday life from before; I couldn’t tell you the last time I actually left the house. No, the thing that’s driving me insane about the whole situation is other people. How did we get to a place where the people in charge —you know the people who are supposed to be protecting us — care more about the economy and money than human life? When did it become acceptable for leaders of the world to call the death of millions of human beings “inevitable” and not even show the slightest hint of sympathy?! I swear, if I hear one more person (especially if that person is the leader of a whole-arse country) say “We’re doing everything we can, we’re doing great, this will all be over soon”, I’m gonna scream. No you are not doing everything you can, sir! You waited too long to do the bare minimum and spent the rest of your time spouting absolute garbage and telling the whole world what a genius you are! Then there’s the ridiculous celebrities complaining about being stuck at home and thinking singing a damn song is going to help anything! “We’re all in this together”? No we’re fucking not, Karen! We’re over here trying to survive as best we can on what little food and money we have and literally fighting each other for toilet paper! Meanwhile, you’re hiding from your own children in your million dollar mansion with your 24/7 live-in staff having food bought in by someone who has no choice but to risk their own health so they can make money to feed their own kids, who they would give anything to be stuck at home with! And don’t even get me started on these religious whack-jobs who think some almighty power is protecting them from the virus, or the people who still insist “It’s just the flu” or think they’re immune because they’re not over 50… Is it possible to roll your eyes so hard they actually fall out?
FRIEND: ……..
ME: *clears throat* Soooo… how are you?
