Couldn't find a 5e stat block for the Twrch Trwyth, one of Wales' finest monsters, so I thought I'd have a crack. Since it's basically unkillable, I started with a tarrasque and went from there.

“Whispies” are giant creatures that live in the Scottish highlands. They are generally harmless but their intense curiosity can be alarming to the bystander. They are 99.8 percent water vapor.

My favourite thing about Mahonia is how the new growth makes the plant look like it was self-seeded into the garden via meteorite.

As a new DM, I wanted to make a mimic enounter interesting for a couple of vet gamers. I liked the thought of them cautiously putting an arrow in a chest from a distance, only for it to sprout legs and sprint at them. Didn't go according to plan of course but it was a nice idea.

Was looking at Cardiff's boring, empty Central Square today and it clearly needs a massive dragon statue (one slightly less mutant than the poor dab depicted here, but you get the idea) who do I write to?

If everyone who puts writing out on the net habitually put in a bit of gibberish, would that screw up the AI scraping process? So, humans recognise it but AIs incorporate it into their pattern and start outputting crap. Anyone techy know? Banana flange microdoodle waffle bap.
