Link: One Page Lore: Fantasy Folk. It started as a joke when I shared this image and u/dioiioib told me they were an entire group of fantasy folk with a name: Blemmyes.

This is an excerpt from One Page Lore: Fantasy Folk, which covers 20 folk besides kobolds. It’s in the wild now, and there’s 3 ways to get it.
Whether you love them or loath them, someone at the table is trying to dunk on kobolds. They’re often used as low-level fodder, but they’re way more unique and fun than that. They’re tiny, distant relatives to dragons, and they have many of the same features and abilities as dragons, though to a far lesser extent. Their dragon-like form also grants them features even dragonborn lack.

Merfolk don’t just live in the depths of the oceans and vacation on the beach. As amphibious folk with a innate talent for commanding water, they live in and around rivers, caves, and underground lakes within deep dungeons. Communities that live in landlocked lakes often have a network of underground waterways that connects to distant bodies of water, such as other lakes, rivers, or even the ocean.

I love when the animal form of shapeshifting characters rely on cunning and cleverness instead of power. Foxes, cats, possums, pangolins. Those are most fun shapeshifting forms.

This is an excerpt from One Page Lore: Fantasy Folk. Orcs and details on 20 other fantasy folk (including halflings, gnomes, lizardfolk, and more) each have their own one-page entry. You can purchase it at rexiconjesse.itch.io/one-page-lore-fantasy-folk.
Orcs are way more interesting than just being total beefcakes. I don’t see much lore about them going into what it would mean to be so naturally strong or how they differ from other folk on a biological level. They don’t have to be warlike or tribal to stand out. Orcs can exist in a variety of ways. They have their own unique abilities and drawbacks.

Lizards are incredibly diverse creatures. Geckos, chameleons, komodo dragons, iguanas, five-lined skinks.

People are a mix of accepting and rejecting parts of their environment as well as how they view and wish to view themselves. For elves, so much of what they’re known for is societal: elitists, elegant, proper. Those are things you learn as you develop, not things you start life with. Continue reading “One Page Lore: Elves”
Races in RPGs are often built as one note stereotypes and players get to either play into that or be the exception. Continue reading “One Page Lore: Quericu”
In the past, I struggled with how to use halflings in games, since most of there traits as a people are societal or personal. Continue reading “One Page Lore: Halflings”
