Episode #11: Born for great deeds and greater adventures - playable races of Theros!

Show Notes

This week, Ryan and Fiona take another dive into the 'Mythic Odysseys of Theros', a Greek-inspired 5e campaign setting originally created for Magic: The Gathering. This time, we look at the common playable races of Theros and their places in the world driven by the whim of a pantheon of gods:

• Humans - the most numerous of Theros' mortal races who embody the mortal will to carve out a place for civilization from the wilds.
• Centaurs -  half-human, half-horse people who are curious, quick to act, and knowledgeable of the wider world.
• Leonin - Noble and fierce lion-like humanoids who rarely interact with other peoples.
• Minotaurs - barrel-chested humanoids with bulls heads, known for venting their outrage through violence, but they aren’t generally quick to anger.
• Satyrs - fey creatures who goat-like legs and horns, who besiege backwood paths with their trickery.
• Triton - an amphibious people, at home in the water but mobile on dry land. with bodies are covered in fine scales and inherent curiosity.
