d&d is cool but i feel like homebrew is even more cool and fun because that makes it entirely plausible to play a space qilin who eats gremlins busting into area 52, where body-snatching, zombifying worms under research by the us government are tested on prisoners, one of which is a terrorist group leader whose son is currently also having high-tension, questionably-gay relations with the vice president.

... or i would if my group's canon could allow a qilin. the rest is very canon, at least :p
