I have no idea what to write here, so I am just going to elaborate on some feedback I got from players about my D&D campaign.
Specifically the two character concepts I have been provided so far. I decided to go characters first, story second for this campaign, just because I usually do the reverse. I wonder how this will work out.
The first is someone that wants to play an undead wizard, not a big problem, I have lich-lite race options, though the rest of the details are oddly specific. They want it to be a seafarer that died at sea and recently reawoke. I am not sure how I am going to work this in, but I’ll see what I can do with the concept while working around other concepts before I approach them with options.
The second is someone who wants to play something fey, also not a problem, I have a plethora of fey related race options. Not to mention the official fairy. I am hoping I can nudge them into the dryad race I have, just because I have a concept for making their tree be one next to the parties main inn. My working idea if they go with it is to make the tree having been destroyed some time back in a storm, but they do a ritual to preserve the dryads spirit, and later transfer it to a new tree. For whatever reason this process loosened the binding to the tree enough for the dryad to travel, or some other shenanigan is at play depending on how I develop the story. The main feature I want to include is that the dryads tree is sort of a symbol of the inn. If they decide to go for a proper fey I have other ideas in my pocket too, specifically I like to homebrew my feywild in D&D to be more like fairy britain in FGO, though with a heavier nature theme. I like that kind of sideways morality the fairies have in fate, where they single-mindedly pursue their central concept. I think that works really well in D&D for displaying how they don’t really fit human morality, while also making it so they can still be placed on the classic alignment system.
I did get feedback from a third player (out of the four main player candidates, this is good!) but they didn’t have anything distinct in mind, just a few races they feel like playing. One of which was also fey themed… am I just going to end up with a player party that is immune to “hold person” at this rate? Well, I guess once I opened the floodgates to anything on the full list of homebrew content I have I should have expected this. I’ll step in if they start picking weird classes, but the races I can handle.
