Werewolves're only supernatural at full moons, otherwise they're just a guy. This means anyone can be a werewolf. If the story doesn't take place at night on full moons it just doesn't come up, you know? Make it so in your setting everyone's a werewolf. It's just a new moon, so you don't find out.

Somewhere in the world is a mountain a thousand miles tall and made of solid diamond. Every thousand years, a bird lands there and brushes the top with its feathers once. And when that mountain is eroded away? I'll be free to game. I asked my boss but I do have to be there the whole time. Sorry.

I tried to come up with an idea around "reverse dispel magic", as in a spell that takes a place without magic and puts magic there, and then I realised that I just came up with magic again. Dispel Magic came first and all other magical spells are just putting Dispel Magic in reverse polarity.

The "cozycore" identity WotC's been pushing for D&D lately may be toothless and completely disconnected from the game's rules, but it's a reflection of how a lot of D&D "lifestylers" interact with the brand. This isn't a new creative direction, it's a business decision.

Actually, that vampires can only go out at night is a myth. They can actually only come out at night. They can walk around in sunlight but they have to pretend to be straight.

False Utopias are too common, let's have more False Dystopias Everything looks cold, miserable and oppressive, but that's just aesthetic. Behind closed doors, everyone's having a great time. They're all super into this.

My new favorite random bit of Fluff is about Cloakers from D&D, whose response to any humanoid they see is to try and eat it. One sourcebook mentions that they don't need to eat and also don't like to eat, so no-one has any idea why they do that.
