I have an idea for a new homebrew campaign that would involve playing essentially different varieties of lizardfolk (chameleons, iguanas, bearded lizards, gila monsters, some kind of salamander race, and an axolotl-like race).
I have a lot of additional details for the world if I think there's enough interest.
I'm torn on the rules system. I think both PF and 5e can model the stuff I want, but I see more 5e examples of stuff like axolotl people when I do google searches. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something. I was thinking about spheres of origin, but my concern with that would be players would just pick a bundle of abilities to stack build concepts rather than features that had anything especially to do with, for example, being a chameleon race. I'm not sure how much time I want to spend policing that sort of silliness. Does anyone know other sources for these specific concepts?
I've found a new resource in electronic whiteboards for pbp -- infinite space to build on; I just did a test to make a desert island; here's a link example (you should make sure you can open it I suppose -- it will take a hot minute to load no matter what rig you're working on).
