Under the WGtE rules, an aberrant dragonmark is a feat.

Is The Aberrant Dragonmark a feat or can I give it to a LV 3 player?

“Though death came for him ninety years ago, gnawing with dread disease”
Her darkest armor she now doth wear
Of olden style, and of blazon bare
As she trudges forth, sword in hand, to die
By night she’ll lie cold, staring unseeing at the sky
Her banner to flutter brave no more in battlefield air— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 8, 2019
The ghost knight gallops round the moat every night still
Though death came for him ninety years ago, gnawing with dread disease
He struggled through a mere handful of days, ill
Ere he fell dead, the castle’s lady ghosts to please— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 9, 2019
The dead came for him, and he awoke
And snatched up sword them to defy
But they had come to watch him die
And cold and grim
Strangled him
They watched and watched, but never spoke— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) September 9, 2019
The main issue with making monstrous D&D character species is the desire to front-load things from the monster entry at low levels
The main issue with making monstrous D&D character species is the desire to front-load things from the monster entry at low levels. It isn't necessary. Each player character can become a unique individual that rivals the monster version in cool ways.

While true, not every monster entry needs to be made available as a playable race. Haven’t we learned the lesson of 3e? Do you think that was the lesson to be learned from 3e?

Mmm, I think you and Chris are essentially saying the same thing. Playing a Minotaur PC for instance, doesn’t mean you have to do as much damage per hit as the Minotaur monster stat block.
Yes, LA/ECL and monster classes were awkward systems at best. Level adjustments were an attempt to let you play the verbatim block. That’s a trap.
— Dan Dillon 👥 (@Dan_Dillon_1) September 28, 2019
The feeling is what matters most of the time, and you can get that by starting out manageable and without ending up at the same place a monster stat block does.

Mad Maggie steals the show!
I've seen few shots of Mad Maggie in the previews for the latest #DND adventure The Decent into Avernus! She really steals the show (I'm sure @JeremyECrawford would agree). @adamofadventure conceived her and I illustrated her. Here are some early versions/concepts! #WOTCstaff pic.twitter.com/swPURqHuwL

When I first saw your sketch of her I knew she was going to be a show stopper!
Then @JeremyECrawford lit up the stage!— 🐟🐠Adam Lee🏔🏕 (@adamofadventure) September 12, 2019
Have you ever ran for large groups? Any words to say?
When d&d and being a dad cross paths!! Full table but just a small group!
@matthewmercer
my other half has run games for up to 30 due to high demand! Have you ever ran for large groups? Any words to aay? For groups that large, streamlining combat is super important. Set initiatives and averaging preset damage values (like the Monster Manual does) can help. Working to allow each player moments to interact and affect the game/story is a necessary challenge. Best of luck!— Matthew Mercer (@matthewmercer) September 5, 2019
