When it comes to D&D, I've alway💟s felt that we've been missing somethin🌼g. A 'cute anthropomorphic animal world like Redwall' kind of something, to be precise.

Enter Humblewood, an origi൩nal campaign setting using D&🏅;D rules. 

for a limited time), I'm obsessed. This is basically Redwall or the Deptford Histories pasted over one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best tabletop RPGs. Cute birdfolk and woodland creatures? Check. A co🦩zy countryside setting? Check. Swords, sorcery, and adventure? Double check.

Humblewood isn't an oversized human world that's zoomed in on the animals scurrying around its forests; it's a place where human-sized creatures rule the literal roost. There are many species coexisting in the Wood and the capital city of Alderheart (from pigeon-folk and foxes to diminutive mice)♚, but it's not all peaceful. A calamitous, magic🐻al fire is spreading across the land, and it's your job to stop it.

While there's plenty to sink your teeth into when it comes to the campaign setting book featured on D&D Beyond, it isn't the only Humblewood product out there. In fact, I fell down a rabbit hole researching all this and found plenty of adventures, extras, and even miniatures for printing on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best 3D printers🃏. You can find all these on the official Humblewood , and I've lostꦿ more time than I'd like to admit "ooo" and "ahhh"-ing over it all.

I'm deadly serious when I say this is probably the setting I'll be using when I eventually introduce my daughter to tabletop roleplaying games. I mean, that's a long way off,💙 but I'm a forever Dungeon Master – we love to ♏plan ahead.

Either way, it's looking to be a big year for fans of this kind of story. D&D's sister franchise, Magic: The Gathering (which is arguably one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best card games) is launching its Bl🐲oomburrow set later this year. That takes꧙ a very similar approach in combining cute animal adventurers with classic fantasy.
