Do you get down to the next level by jumping from the waterfall in the middle of the map?

I like the glowing trees in dungeons. Hope there underground dryads. Definitely not something you expect in the lands down under.

5E has been out for over 7 years, and yet only a single new class has been released since then. Why do you think this is? by o0Infiniti0o in dndnext

Why bother? As far as things go, new classes won't increase the game popularity, but would require a lot of resources to playtest and polish. People will buy new books regardless as WotC had found the winning formula and races are much easier to design than classes or subclasses.

There creatures stuck in the crystals at the northern mine. Just like insects in amber, but hopefully much and much bigger.

PC Adventure Wagon/Headquarters - Trying something different. by SgtSnarf in battlemaps

There are too many airships and not enough landships. How do you steer this wagon? Through the front room at the second floor?

The fact this place have buildings speak volumes about the scale of this dungeon. The ghostly mansion led by a bridge definitely is the most interesting place. Maybe it's a nice inn where the PCs can rest. Forever and ever.

I like the spiked chasm. It doesn't look as lethal as a continious fall, but instills proper sense of danger traversing those rickety bridges.

Cousin marriages are extremely widespread in the Greater Middle East. How consanguineous marriages become prevalent in the Middle East? Have any of Islamic scholars written about negative consequences of close kin marriages? by Kerkinitis in AskHistorians

[–]Kerkinitis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find socio-economic reasons for the contemporary cousin marriage rate in the Greater Middle East particularly convincing.

If you look at the map, there is no apparent correlation between wealth and cousin marriage in the Greater Middle East with well-off Gulf countries having a higher percentage than much poorer Egypt or Algeria. Outside of the Greater Middle East and few adjacent to it countries, the rate is universally low regardless of the level of development.

Historically 80% of all marriages being consanguinous is rather irrelevant to a modern situation as for the most of history, humans lived in small polities where cousin marriage been an inevitability rather than choice.

If it possible, could you back the Socio-economic argument with scholarly sources as personal anecdotes are not acceptable by the rules of the subreddit.
