"Expanding the Bestiary"

One of the hardest parts of this class so far, has been brainstorming for new races and monsters. The biggest problem is that the official supplements are brimming with both classic and new monsters, so once we get an enemy idea, name, and nature going, we realize it was in a dark sun supplement 8 years previous.

So we fell too reversing established fantasy tropes, as we turned our territories elves into musclebound, brutal savages, or mixed animals into a humanoid shape with the rest of our races. These include a Phoenix born, mushroom man, spider man. While we have since written plenty of filler and racial modifiers to make these races quite fun, the overall development process was basically a big game of "simpsons did it".

However, even with these pitfalls, we came up with quite a few good ideas, and hopefully these ideas will bear fruit!
