@mikemearls I was reading the Tabaxi race in Volo's and realized there was no race based on dogs. Any particular reason why?

We thought about doing one, and still might – wanted to do something with a bit more than just dog person, like tabaxi's Mesoamerican feel https://t.co/20pqA6sgm8

EXPLORERs!
If you check this article by Master Chris Lindsay you’ll find surrogates characters that will help you to play when your main PC is dead during Tomb of Annihilation. There’s a thief class with GRUG race that can be officially played.
A reddit user deduce what stats can have a Grug. Check it out

@ChrisPerkinsDnD thoughts on handling Tabaxi characters (climb speed 20ft) using the trees in the Chult to get around the ground encounters?
— Stan Kovach (@Riverbaine) July 21, 2017
I think that's cool. What's the point of being good at climbing if you can't leave your friends behind to get eaten? #wotcstaff https://t.co/paHyM7tMk6

@ChrisPerkinsDnD would Grungs from Volo's fit into Strahd?

That depends on whether you think frog people belong in a Gothic horror setting. Ultimately, that's for the DM to decide. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/bfTarMyU7a

Hello! In the same line: which Arcane Tradition and which Roguish Archetype would Volothamp be, please? In 5e Volo's most likely Arcane Tradition: Abjuration, and Roguish Archetype: Mastermind. However, Conjuration + ArcaneTrickster possible.

Thank you very much, Mr. Greenwood!
In my next home run game (as the DM) I would like to render him as accurately as possible as a NPC.Ah! Know this: like certain others (Manshoon, the Chosen) Volo is useful to Mystra, so it's very hard to kill him (last-second magical aid).— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 25, 2017
That DOESN'T mean he won't have scrapes, screw up, or go through pain and injury and so on: Mystra last-second-rescues him, NOT coddling.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 25, 2017
She doesn't guide him, or answer his ongoing "what should I best do next?" queries; he's on his own. And he's a scamp.

Kenku “have a talent for learning and memorizing details”, but mechanics back up mimicry, not recall. Seems…asking a Kenku for an Int check to recall sounds and phrases would be fair. Or would you just roll that into a single Deception check?
— neologiker (@neologiker) June 10, 2017
I'd go with deception to mimic something, would allow kenku to recall details without a roll

Does the ‘Substitute Bonds’ from OotA & HotDQ can be applied to the monsters’s bonds from VGtM?Yes
