So, you're doubtlessly wondering what the hell is going on. Well, to put things simply, I've got a huge array (70+, at last counting) of homebrewed races for 5e that I want to get critiqued, plus plans for future races beyond that. For obvious reasons, I can't post each race here individually; I'd drown us all. But, at the same time, I can't hope to get any reviews or comments if I put them all in one thread - wall of text to the nth degree. So, I tried to compromise and instead make a relatively small group of splinter topics that I can post them under in more manageable numbers.

To see these races in their natural habitat, follow the linked google-doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...pO3kThS4/edit#

This batch of races... well, I can't really explain. I guess one part my fondness for the Kitsune race in Pathfinder, one part my disappointment in the traditional D&D race of the Hengeyokai, and one part a general feeling that D&D's Oriental Adventurers races just tend to be kind of bland, given the gonzo crazy potential in Japanese mythology.

So, whilst the bulk of my attention has been on the actual mythical hengeyokai - Tanuki, Kitsune and their more obscure kinsfolk, I would love to discuss other possible yokai that could be converted for an Oriental Adventures 5e setting. I've dabbled in the obscure Futakuchi-Onna and Todomeki, but what about the Oni or Tengu? Heck, maybe some kinds of Tsukumogami (object spirits) could convert into PC races.
