Suggestions for Batching Sea Monsters

Hi Mark, I've seen a lot of suggestions for batching sea monsters. What about the following alternative: batch all cephalopods (octopus, squid, nautilus, kraken, cephalid), leaving out serpents and leviathans?

Less call for that. This post being the only one. : )

Prospects for Creature Type Batching

Hi Mark, In regards to the batching question; could we hope to see batching of creature types according their phylum? Mollusca batching for example could include octopus, squid, kraken, slugs and clamfolk. That would be really neat!

Not off the table.

Skyclave Squid Species Inquiry

Why is Skyclave Squid a 'squid' when the art clearly depicts a cuttlefish?

Zendikarian squids look a lot like cuttlefish. : )

Octopi and Squids Categories

Will all octopi (arms, no tentacles) and squids (arms and tentacles) still be under the octopus type, or will they be divided into octopus and squid types? I'm asking because I think sharks had been fish at one point?

Shark is not a precedent for any future creature type changes.

Details in Batching

Would batching have to explicitly call out everything in the batch each times its brought up, or could it list, like, 2-3 followed by an "etc."? Like, if there was a batch of "Aquatic creatures", could the reminder text be (Fish, Leviathans, Squid, etc. are aquatic.) even if the list also included whales, jellyfish, serpents, and whatever else that'd make sense but might not be in the set itself?

Magic rules don’t like “well, you know…”.

I challenge you to end a sentence in your podcast with the word "Alpha" and then start the next one with "Squid".

You do know I start every podcast saying the same thing. : )

Squid Exclusion Reasoning

Live the blog. I've been wondering why Squids weren't included in the Whelming Wave avoidance as a creature of the dark depths?

I live it every day. : ) As for why we drew the kind where we did, we couldn’t include everything so we picked the stuff we felt mattered most.

Whelming Wave Text

Why doesn't Whelming Wave list squid in its exceptions for creature types? Seems like it should...

There’s only so much text space. Here’s looking at you, squid.
