β€œHuman kids always got picked on for being the youngest Drahari, that were an afterthought to the Dragons. The Church says the Dragons created by each shedding a drop of blood, that our birth settled the siblings’ quarrels.”

β€œThe reason that Dwarves are the hardiest workers, best artists, and most stoutest warriors is the same reason we’re also the best looking. We were shaped from a molten scale of Philryr himself!”

Archery hooked me at 5 years old. By 10 (ca. 1991, AD&D 2e), I’d made a half-elf ranger with a bow, wolf companion, and outdoor skills. I grew up hunting, so it fit perfectly. Still at it, and these days, also building cool archery abilities for the 2dX Engine!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

@shannagermain.bsky.social and Monte Cook have definitely been an inspiration. When I sat in in their Gencon panel about their Numenera Kickstarter circa 2013 it really struck me that crowdfunding could really be a path to make @drasharrpg.bsky.social a reality. #respect

As an avid outdoorsman myself, the Krinsu are one of my favorite ancestries of Drashar. They find plant life sacred and are typically strict carnivores! πŸ–

I have never heard of City of Lost Children. The trailer looks creepy!

When HeroQuest was republished in 2021, I was instantly transported to 1990. My cousin was such a trooper, paying for the game and playing with me anytime we got together. The Dwarf was my favorite β€œclass” back then. His ability to upgrade his gear was so new to me.

While Drashar has a mixture of classic (elves) and non-typical ancestries (athrona) all the gods are draconic in nature and Surix is the dragon-god of light, introspection, and peace. World-building is such a fun part of TTRPG design!
