    One of my players has severe arachnophobia and doesn’t deal well with even the mere mention of spiders. He does however have no issues with scorpions (even though technically arachnids). Therefore I reskinned Lolth to a scorpion queen.

    Lolth was the final big bad in my first D&D campaign. She was also the only Mythic I pulled in any of my boosters so far. I figured I might as well build a deck around her.

      @@Sarpro72 It's nasty. It's a Golgari deck with lots of removal/mill/direct damage (I hope I have these terms correct--compared to my egregious D&D obsession, I've never been much of a Magic player, as the scene where I used to live was toxically xenophobic outside of my few friends, and this is the first set that's really got me excited about the game, so I'm still learning a lot).

      @@Dyundu it’s a great time to get into standard because a lot of overpowered cards are rotating. This makes many of the previously unplayable cards much more usable now and generates a whole new meta. Good luck!

    Another good-ish aligned Drow is One Eyed Jax/Jaraxle. He's your mercenary type spymaster for the Drow on the surface of Faerun.

      fun fact, he is not one eyed, he wears the eye patch just for some of the magical effects it offers, even tends to change which eye he wears it over

      Jarlaxle is about as selfish as they come, nothing good-aligned about him. He has an honour code that makes him more dependable to deal with, but that doesn’t make him good-aligned.

    • @skankhunt4588
      @skankhunt4588 2 роки тому

      Jarlaxle is Not of good alignment. Don't let the interactions with his FRIENDS mislead you. He is a drow swashbuckler. That means he knows how to manipulate people's reactions toward him he's neutral evil in alignment.

    There was a great thread on the forums back in the day which had the "Gods Of The Mirrorverse." Like the Star Trek episode "Mirror Mirror" it's the universe of everyone's Evil counterpart (unless they were evil in which case they're good.) In the Mirrorverse Loth might be the Spider Goddess of the Drow Resistance to the Lawful Evil Elvish Reich, with webs representing communications networks.

    Another good aligned Drow is every Drow PC ever. Nowadays, I haven't met a single Dungeon Master who plays the Drow as all evil. Specially when, like Tieflings, they are hot, and as such, the bi disaster kids like myself wanna play them.
    Back to the Drow though, I specially like how Matthew Mercer handled them, in Critical Role. Spoilers, I guess, for the second campaign, but at first, the drow are portrayed as all evil. But that's because the party simply lives in a country that's at war with the drow, and it isn't until they get to the drow country where they are like "Huh, they are pretty nice." Shoutout to my boy Essek while we are at it.

      @steffenlee3768 2 роки тому

      @@chrisnichols9014 I've read more on Lolth since I watched these videos. In the monster manual (5e) she has sections under both demons (demon lords) and under elves (drow), and even a brief amount of information under driders. From what I've learned, and I'm sure this has changed over time and everything. But first of all, Lolth is BAD BITCH. like, really bad, that's why she was banished to the abyss in the first place. Second she killed a demon lord and took over his spider layer of the abyss and stole his title, making her the Demon queen of spiders. So yes, she is drow demon lord deity queen of spiders. (I wonder if she's stronger than Demogorgon?)... How's that for a title, Danaerys, queen of dragons, khalisi of the great grass fields, etc.
