When it comes to D&D, I’ve always felt that we’ve been missing something.

A ‘cute anthropomorphic animal world like Redwall’ kind of something, to be precise.

Enter Humblewood, an original campaign setting using D&D rules.

This is basically Redwall or the Deptford Histories pasted over one of thebest tabletop RPGs.

Cute birdfolk and woodland creatures?

A market of animalfolk, with creatures ranging from crows to owls and racoons

A cozy countryside setting?

Swords, sorcery, and adventure?

A calamitous, magical fire is spreading across the land, and it’s your job to stop it.

Dungeons & Dragons Starter…

Either way, it’s looking to be a big year for fans of this kind of story.

That takes a very similar approach in combining cute animal adventurers with classic fantasy.
