Tell me about that time you played with megafauna in a game, /tg/. Did your druid have a field day?
>Dinosaurs a shit
Dumping mammalian megafauna for interest.

My setting has indricotheriums as beasts of burden, used much like tamed elephants are.

Related to your pic, I've considered putting an Africa-like area with bears in a setting.
>>44096470
Wow, that guy's really brave.
Why are animals such betas these days? Fuck.
>>44098560
>I've considered
wew lad, all that considering. Why don't you try some DOING once in a while?
>>44096377
don't make me play Ark again.
My Tribesmen are still recovering...
>>44098629
Our ancestors killed all the cool ones so we wouldn't have to get eaten.
>>44098821
Because not only does doing require will and dedication, it also requires the emotional strength to suck at it at first, get called out on it, and then, even when everyone tells you to kill yourself, not give up on getting better at it.
>>44098629
They could see the future and decided it wasn't worth it. But seriously ancient mammals are awesome.
>>44096377
Recently I have been designing a campaign based around being cavemen or other prehistoric people and dealing with survival from huge mammals and other more magical threats as well.

>nothing has giant sloths in it
Why?
>>44098629
You're a dumb fuck, did you know that?
>>44099383
Because sloths are filthy and pointless enough without making them giant.
>>44099383
Talislanta does.
And they're PCs.
>>44099378
Here, a better version.

They took the good version off Youtube, the bastards.
>>44099425
They existed before and were badass. Pointless? No sir. They filled the niche that giraffes currently fill. Big grazers that ate tree branches. Can't say that they weren't filthy though. Never met one in real life
>>44099425
But what about dire giant sloths?
>>44099590
>sloth
>badass
Nope.
>can't say they weren't filthy though
At least look up what sloth are like.
>>44099701
How do you dire this?
>>44099389
Why is evolution so stupid? Can't it figure out that a horse-gorrilla is about a million times better than a tapir?
>>44099701
What would a dire giant sloth even look like. I looked it up (quick google image search) and only regular giant sloth pics showed up. I-I kind of want art of this now
>>44099747
Same way you dire anything else: triple the size, make it violent, give it an oddly appropriate and deadly trait (I suggest disease).
>>44099748
Chalicothere.
You could have a society that uses giant sloths like pack animals.
>>44099805
>using the laziest of all land creatures as pack animals
But why?
>>44099861
What other large animal can carry your goods up large trees and cliff faces?
>>44099861
Ground Sloths aren't Tree Sloths. You can't judge one based on the other.
>>44099743
The giant ground variant could kill a sabre cat with one swipe of its muscular, clawed hand. I know that irl sloths are disgusting. I was saying that the reason for me not being able to know that they are filthy is because they are extinct. It was a bad joke
>>44099930
The joke was fine, the guy you're responding to is just nofun.
