I'm okay with anthropomorphic animals, but I grew weary of angsty Tiefling Edgelords in 1995, and don't even get me started on Dragonborn. Yet... I still allow them.

Do you do, or do not, want a whole lot of humanoid animals in your game world?

I mean to say that typical fantasy settings have loads of animal people, but I personally think it could be reduced to more manageable number. My reasoning for this is that these races typically do not have much to make them standout from the standard demikind races aside from being special snowflakes. My suggestions involved giving them profound biological differences that dramatically and obviously affected their cultural development compared to humans, making them more than just special snowflakes. Obviously, it is not practical to give a similar level of depth to all beastfolk and so it is easier to just reduce them to a manageable number.

A obvious first step would be to condense similar beastfolk into hyper-races, such as reptilefolk, rodentfolk, etc. At the extreme end, you get beastfolk as a race in and of itself. What I mean by this is that a member of this race would have a particular animal aspect, but this would not be hereditary: the child of a batman and a catwoman could easily be a birdman or spidergirl. Or, I don't know, beastfolk might be human worshipers of the beast lords who are transformed to resemble their animal totem during their coming of age rite of passage ceremony. It's fiction so anything is possible.

You need to bake it over night at 150 degrees so its bone dry.  According to Krimson anyway.

It's raining now. With the added humidity it can take as long as three nights... and still be a little sticky.
