Poll #316 - March is "Monsters of the Coast" (and that's the bottom line... 'cause Stone Cold said so)
🕑 Added 2023-02-21 17:33:42 +0000 UTCHey folks!
Originally, we were going to do a Norse theme for March/April Dungeons & Lairs with new monsters, but I've since decided to go back to the original purpose of Dungeons & Lairs—create drop-in adventures usable for any campaign.
Instead of focusing on themes immediately, I want to focus on terrain types first. We just did one for the arctic. This time, I want to do one for coastal creatures.
I've picked out a number of popular coastal monsters and added them below. These are all from the Monster Manual, too, so they should be familiar. Pick the one that you like the best. The top four get made into adventures starting next month.
I look forward to your coastal critters!

Pirates… with laser guns
Mike Churchill
Just because they are good doesn't mean that the good creature's wants/needs/motivations/plans are aligned with the PCs. PCs vs good creatures can be good roleplaying opportunities outside of direct combat.
Clinton Hegney
Aren't Bronze Dragons, being in the metallic family, generally good aligned? Would this then be for those GMs doing evil player campaigns?
Mark
Hope something beats Pirates. Almost anything would be more interesting.
DM Dave
That'll be in the "cosmic horror" series... or manga. Or both.
I was about to comment on this, there are A LOT
Jon Jones
Where are the tentacled creatures?
Chris Crotty
Pittsburgh Pirates? No one would see that coming. "When a tear in the multiverse sends nine athletes..."
DM Dave
I'll just make it the pirates from OFMD
Gravy
Reward? Black pearls and a kracken egg? Ooo!
Gravy
Dragon turtle eggs have gone missing and momma’s pissed! Partner with her minion Turtle-born (please make) and hunt down the culprits!
Zach Barnett
Are they pirates who don't do anything?
Honestly I'd feel bad messing with a Bronze Dragon since they're generally not up to displeasing shenanigans.
DM Dave
Yes, but are they SINGING pirates?
Frank Moore
What, no option for Grendels?
Chris Crotty
Please, no pirates. SO many other sources have pirate stuff...
Love this!!! Our campaign is in a coastal city so this is perfect!
