Poll #316 - March is "Monsters of the Coast" (and that's the bottom line... 'cause Stone Cold said so)
Added 2023-02-21 17:33:42 +0000 UTCHey folks!
Originally, we were going to do a Norse theme for March/April Dungeons & Lairs with new monsters, but I've since decided to go back to the original purpose of Dungeons & Lairs—create drop-in adventures usable for any campaign.
Instead of focusing on themes immediately, I want to focus on terrain types first. We just did one for the arctic. This time, I want to do one for coastal creatures.
I've picked out a number of popular coastal monsters and added them below. These are all from the Monster Manual, too, so they should be familiar. Pick the one that you like the best. The top four get made into adventures starting next month.
I look forward to your coastal critters!

Pirates… with laser guns

2023-02-21 19:06:04 +0000 UTCAre they pirates who don't do anything?

2023-02-21 18:47:36 +0000 UTCHonestly I'd feel bad messing with a Bronze Dragon since they're generally not up to displeasing shenanigans.
2023-02-21 18:38:08 +0000 UTCYes, but are they SINGING pirates?
DM Dave
2023-02-21 18:38:02 +0000 UTCWhat, no option for Grendels?
Frank Moore
2023-02-21 18:34:53 +0000 UTCPlease, no pirates. SO many other sources have pirate stuff...
