Low-fantasy D&D aliens?
I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I’m worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What’s the weirdest alien you’ve ever thrown at your D&D party?
Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?
You might try the novel Eifelheim for inspiration. In 1348 an alien ship crashes in the Black Forest. It’s wild exploring how the Jesuit priest, peasants and villagers react. The author throws a lot of medieval trivia around and it’s fascinating.
