  • Empyrean: The Bipolar Demigods

    Hey! That’s just a synth from Alien: Isolation in Greek clothing! You can’t fool me, Wizards of the Coast! Empyreans are pretty cool! Sure, their designs are super boring! But their lore, despite only being four paragraphs long, is super flexible and fun to work with! On top of that, they’ve got some incredible stats,…

  • Drow Elves: Masters of Edge- I mean, Darkness (Part 1: Lore)

    Such depravity. Such terrifying cruelty. They are the vile poison that plagues all elvenkind. -Nelar Autumnwell, elf cleric of Corellon Larethian Jesus, dude, this gave me some whiplash!

    I was gonna use a screenshot from the movie, but apparently those just don’t exist in the right aspect ratio, and I’ll be fucked if I’m gonna take the screenshot myself. So you just get a flat image of rocks. Sorry not sorry. Again, earth elementals don’t really have much lore to talk about. Nor…
