don't play D&D

>>52221534
Fireflies, assassin bugs, asian hornets

>>52221534
Eberron Drow are actually jungle-elves. Although they also focus on scorpions almost as much as the underground variant we all know and love, you may be able to get some ideas from them.

>>52221534
How about scarabs for mages? Shiny, elegant, and, thanks to hieroglyphics, slightly occult.

Typical, and why I am loathe to come here for any advice.

>>52221575
I'll look into those, particularly the hornets.

>>52221578
Never thought about that, I'll have to take a look.

>>52221594
Yeah, those would make a good 'mage' type bug. I'll look into those as well.

Moths for the mages.

>>52221534
Mages could be moths, drawn around their arcane fire... ethereal and mysterious. Or like butterflies, emerging transformed by magic for a brief but ostentatious life.

They could be lightning bugs, bombardier beetles, fire ants or any other bug that seems to draw on elemental powers.

Or they could be wasp or termite like... holed up in academic hives, studying arcane secrets hidden away in infinitely complex laboratories. Their process is creation through destruction. They have an alien, hierarchal discipline whose insularity makes them a mystery even to the government they serve.

What the fuck is this disgusting shit you filthy 5e secondary neewfag casual? You bet your ass you don't fucking Play Dungeons and Dragons because EVERYTHING YOU HAVE STATED ALREADY EXISTS, THERE IS ALREADY A FUCKING JUNGLE DROW VARIANT YOU NEGLIGENT COCKSUCKER THAT HASN'T DOWNLOADED ALL DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS CONTENT VIA TORRENT
>>52221534
>(only drow I had that wasn't anime or fetishy at the moment).
Thanks for confirming that not only are you a filthy secondary, casual and worthless cultureless tosspot who knows nothing of the development of D&D from it's prior editions, you've also admitted you're chocolate lop-eared anime elf loving trash who shits up the Dark_Elf tag with you filth instead of ensuring obsidian black Drow and chocolate brown "Dark_Elf" remain separate, because this is an ancient cancer spread by Priotess lovers who actually thought Lodoss is a masterpiece and not the work of a group of Japanese otaku westaboo filth that tried to string togther a coherant story out of their piss poor D&D campaign, only to altogther fail and create a horrible cancerous fapbait meme no better than frequency of Futanari that polluted every single Dark elf that had ever appeared in any Japanese fantasy work post this travesty.

You're the fucking reason why everything in Jrpgs lacks ecology, lore, economy, and substance, you are literally a force worse than bandwagon furry Kobold porn artists that don't know who Deekin is. Shame on you, I hope all your threads fail from now on, and that Kanchelsis kills you in your sleep. And what's more, how is it you don't have your freaky 90's bushhair thigh-high Panty line Drow but fucking Pathfinder Drow? Fucking disgusting.

No, seriously, delete your fucking thread, you shouldn't be playing Traditional games, because you're clearly not a Traditional gamer, who you know FUCKING KNOWS TRADITION. You don't deserve to be welcome, we should eject trash like you into the Far Realm, you're clearly an aberration not even of this layer of perceivable space and time, get out, get out, GET THE FUCK OUT.

>>52222140
I think you're trying too hard m8

>>52222165
Shut up, no one asked for your worthless failed quip of a reply you spineless reprobate, OP fucked up, made a worthless thread with his teeny tiny WIS score, I'm calling him out on his bullshit until he fucks off to have a PURE IMAGINAUUTIUN filled campaign without any input or help because he lacks a good enough initiative roll to fucking get it done himself that comes up with all sorts of stupid shit which if put to paper, would look like the work of a person diagnosed with Autism, and not the robot sort, but the "Lacks any shame" sort so that he may cut off his dick every day till he grows pubic hair and still not understand the deeper cosmic truth behind it.

Again, with the bugs, is he taking into consideration the beaviours, distribution of feats for insect control (Something that is facilitated by Lloths worship, else the spiders would just eat them all) and Scorpions? this fucking Oil-drilling knife ear loving twat thinks he know shit, but lordy loo this alone is too stupid to dissect. Also, Dragonflys? We in the fucking feywild now? The Drow just got along with Curryman leather-ass and that crazy-ex GF never happened then? What the fuck is this shitstick idiot even trying to write up? Priests = centipedes NIGGA, GO SUCK SOME KYUSS-ISSUED WORM COCK, THAT STUPID AS HELL.

And then this bitch come up to me saying he stuck on mages - fuck this mophead you should've checked yourself before you wrecked yourself, I bet you don't even know what an Embrac is with your beetle shit.

The Fuck they doing in the swamp anyway? That place is lizardmen territory, full of shapeshifting fleshwarping abberattions that shrink to cellsize swarmmode, literal Olmec temples, coatual temples, and a fuckload of other shit, Drow don't fucking belong there, deep jungle maybe, but a swamp? No, that's for the swamp shitting filth fetishist Black Dragons, fuck those Dragons, they're the ugliest and the worst, and fart all the danm time, those are the pest Dragons, fuck em.

>Being this rustled.

Why is everyone ITT so mad? OP just wanted to make some cool bug people.

>>52222543
Because he asked for jungle drow when they already existed Nice try, you're probably OP, fuk off.

In fact, go play with your Bionicles lil-bitch, they got more bug-tree people in it than this shit, If I want my Drow wearing Red berets and Leaf bikini's I'll edit some queens blade pictures.

Here, have a link to D&D shit you should have, and an index for it.

Now fuck off and try to find the Jungle Drow in it.

Since it is a swamp you should probably take aquatic insects and arachnids into mind, a giant boatman might be an interesting idea for mass transportation.

Get the torches and black dragon's breath, boys. We've got us a genuine hipster troll here that thinks he's dog's gift to gaming. Listen up you prancing nancy, OP simply asked for an insect he could associate with jungle dwelling drow mages, and you go trying to ream him a new one like a Catholic preschool teacher with a fresh batch of kids. Go stick that bb in a boxcar you call a brain under a moving bus and let OP make the campaign he wants? Who knows, maybe he is a Traditional gamer, as you so elegantly spewed from your shitgulping cakehole, and wanted to try something different?

>>52221534
>Priests: Centipedes
Pretty sure centipedes aren't arachnids.

Also, remember, there will be a lot of overlap with nobles.

Holy shit. Never have I read such cancer in my life. Being lore-savvy does not make you a good player. You're also completely mixing tradition and zealotism.

But hey, at least you tried to genuinely prove your worth to random people on the internet. You go, anon-kun.

Found your problem right there.

Quit playing Shit & D anon, it's crap and everyone that plays it is a fucking normie. Back to /a/ with you

OP here.

To those of you who gave me the advice I was looking for, thank you. You are the sparkling gems buried in the otyugh's pit.

To the rest of you shitgulping, fucktarded wankmonkies who are 'triggered' by this, I'm not making this world for you assflappers. Anyone who gets so freaking butthurt about system, or lore changes, supposed 'magical realm' or 'animu is ruining gaming' bullshite, are the true fucking cancer destroying tabletop games. Go set your wannabe sperghat trilbies on fire, then jump into an auto shredder, because the rest of the world will be so much better off without you stinking up the place.

What did you expect?

You came in here with an OP that is basically

>Hey guys I'm making my DnD game match my animu fantasy really real hard and I need help trying to make my character into Pirotess, lols no weeb though, but totally otaku!

The whole damn thing reads like bait intended to attract the anti DnD/anti anime camp.

>>52228285
Wow, you still on about that? So maybe my words weren't the best choice, and the pic could have been better. But as I tried to say, you find pics of drow that aren't fetishized and anime.

Anyway, you all can fuck off now. /thread
