Went through character creation and drawing up the campaign map for a game I'll be DM'ing. (Only second time doing such, so wish me luck)
We took a page from the Dresden Files, where we all took a sheet of poster paper and drew up the 'setting map' together, adding a significant landmark or city in turns until we filled up most of the map. Soon after completion, (90% anyway) we were talking about the entrance to the Underdark, which was drawn as a spider on the map.
Then someone asked if it was Chibi.
And then someone made a joke about "Chibi-Lolth".
And curiosity lead to us doing a quick google search under that term.

We collectively came up with an idea that is simultaneously made of awesome and weird, and we are going to roll with this all the way through.
The idea, is that the drow are the too-nice, super-creepy neighbors to everyone they meet, A la Ned Flanders.
But then we realized what would be even better for sheer What-The-Feck potential.

Yes. We have made the Drow into Tamaraneans.
Lolth hug us all...
