Racing Turtles

Sybil for @thehedash !

Had a dream that wizards of the coast replaced elves, dwarves, gnomes and halflings with a sort of giant cannibalistic frog, and their section of the players handbook took up 800 pages

According to the rules, if you wanted to play one the DM first had to run you through an incredibly difficult pre-written solo adventure (this accounted for a few hundred pages of the section) where your frog decided to escape the mega-dungeon that the unrepentantly evil frog civilization was based inside of. If your character died or was unable to escape the dungeon for any reason, it would be eaten by its clan members and you weren’t allowed to play as a frog guy.

In total the phb was 15,000 pages long and I desperately wish I could have seen more of it.

Frog Escape Attempt #13: Despite the gruesome demise of my previous incarnations, I begin my adventure with a song in my heart and a spring in my step.

@adhdkirabraginsky I couldn’t stop thinking about your comment, so I had to draw some Atlacatl enjoying fruit popsicles! They don’t have refrigeration technology sadly, but maybe someone knows some magical way of freezing up a batch.

Strahd at his organ, in the best tradition of the Phantom, Dr Phibes, and Count von Count.  (Clyde Caldwell, AD&D module I6: Ravenloft, TSR, 1983.)

He sure is pounding his massive organ in ecstasy as you enter the room. Thanks, Ravenloft writers!
