In a nutshell, aventi are essentially D&D Atlanteans: the descendants of an ancient and mighty human empire that, when sunk into the ocean, magically adapted and survived by turning into amphibious but otherwise near-perfectly human (pale-blue skin and tiny fins on the forearms and calves aside) creatures, essentially being more humanoid and amphibious [[merfolk]]. Season with elf-style arrogance and a conviction of their own superiority despite usually coming from a place nobody has heard about, and you have them in a nutshell.

If you want to play an aventi in 5th edition, it's really easier to just grab a [[triton]]: the triton's stats do pretty much everything you want out of the aventi, and they even match up in terms of fluff and, mostly, experience.

The basic idea of the aventi was, of course, re-used in [[Pathfinder]] with the oh-so-imaginatively named Gillmen. These guys are almost identical to Aventi in every way that matters, bar being somewhat more cosmopolitan, having more interaction with surfacers, and being unwitting sleeper agents for the [[aboleth]]s.


...Actually, in many ways, the Gillmen are worse, because not only do they have this annoying railroading "plot hook" built into every single character, but they miss the point of Aventi by having the Water Dependent racial weakness, which is one of the reasons why [[merfolk]] and [[triton]]s have traditionally been ignored.

The GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the now-defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.

Forums

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

Events

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene. These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

== HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES == Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD: The Gauntlet of ASS (SANS, PAPYRUS, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SMOL NOZOMI)
  • GRAND DAD 3: GRAND DAD IS GOD
