As a short person, I found this guide very useful to face problems that arise in my day-to-day life.
There's a lot of great stuff here, but for some reason the thing that completely broke me is having "Desert Island", a small isle with nothing but sand and a single palm tree, in the middle of lush, green islands.
I'm sure that, if a river was drawn into this map, it would be a ten-headed abomination originating from nothing, going uphill through the mountains, and connecting one side of the ocean to the other.
(Also "Nopon" being an almost 1:1 transposition of Japan, but "Retro Tokyo" is in the wrong place lmao)
What's Marut?
Still the most glorious piece of homebrew I've ever laid my eyes on.
Still haven't been able to play it because life is a bitch.
There are two types of dnd players.
Those who want to live the fantasy of being able to afford rent.
And those who want to fuck monsters.
Very cool, I really like the aesthetic!
Every character I play is secretly asexual, and I don't think anyone has realized yet.
The closest I came to come out of the closet was when my Undead Warlock married his Unseen Servant. It was his best friend, they looked up to one another, respected each other, and shared an exclusively platonic relationship.
He prepped the entire ceremony in secret as part of multiple sessions:
He then waited for the final battle, and the night before, he gathered everyone without telling them why, took out the ring, cast Unseen Servant and proposed to it. There were a lot of happy noises that evening, especially from the party's cleric :)
The character I'm playing now is a lawful good city watch who is "married to his job", and the Paladin has joked multiple times about taking him to a brothel. Bruh, take the hint.
A warforged that escaped the war, met another defector, and together tried to start a new life. Unfortunately, the kingdom sent assassins after them in order to silence them and make sure that they would not switch sides. The human died, but the warforged lived on, carrying with it the remorse of not being able to save them. To honor its friend, it kept the nickname that the human gave it - Hector, which was a pun based on its model name (Tactical Heavy Operations Robot, model H -> H, T.H.O.R. -> Hector).
Survivor's guilt was the main idea behind the build: It was a Fighter Rune Knight built to tank damage and protect its allies as better as it could (Heavy armor master, Interception fighting style, Cloud rune).
Tanking damage is not optimal in DnD (killing the damage dealer is always the best choice) but it was meant to be a low-level one shot, so it was fine. Unfortunately work, family and other real life issues got in the way and the party wasn't able to convene on a date where everyone could gather and play for four hours straight.
I wrote my opinions here:

Long story short: i like the idea, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and it's basically unusable at this point. It's very unbalanced, some buildings are clearly more useful than others, and having one bastion for each player is overkill. It also requires the campaign to stick to a very specific time schedule (a few weeks per level) that I honestly find very difficult to fit in any of the pre-existing modules, and certainly not any of the homebrew campaigns I've played with my friends.
"Guys, homebrews are allowed, but please, choose something that's viable and not too abstruse."
"No worries! By the way, I found this homebrew class in DanDWiki and it seems really cool, can I use it?"
DM screams and cries
Also, healing is definitively the strongest quality of the Peace Domain.
I see no borders from ~~up here~~ my modded console.
