I like the lair description and details on how the dragon reacts. Some of the mechanical elements are confusing and there appear to be alot of them, not so keen on that.
Sorry, that Legendary Resistance is just another disassociated 4Echronistic mess. How does it work? Why four times a day? Seems just as bad and arbitrary as action points!
Good Interview Grats Jon! I agree with many of your points too. PS Indeed I do remember that online game where we controlled multiple henchmen, i just think too much stress was put on the table back then, perhaps today it'd work with its increased memory (i am your boy anytime you want to try that out again :P)

Well, they would if I hadn't had that moment of craziness with the cult a while back and then had to sell a bunch of stuff at half price books to make grocery money.
Facts about Ghouls: A ghoul is a (folkloric) monster associated with graveyards and consuming human flesh. In fiction, these creatures dwell in cemeteries and other uninhabited places. The oldest surviving literature that mention ghouls is One Thousand and One Nights.

Ghoul is from the Arabic ghul, from ghala "to seize". Marc Cramer and others believe the term to be etymologically related to Gallu, a Mesopotamian demon.
In ancient meddle-eastern folklore, the ghūl dwells in burial grounds and other uninhabited places. The ghul is a fiendish type of Genie believed to be sired by Iblis.
A ghoul is a desert-dwelling shapeshifting demon that can assume the guise of an animal especially a hyena. It lures unwary people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals coins, and eats the dead, taking the form of the person most recently eaten.
females are called ghouleh and the plural is ghilan. In colloquial Arabic, the term is sometimes used to describe a greedy or gluttonous individual.
I like most of what you've presented, but if you're looking for a definitive description of ghouls, you could do worse than reviewing your H.P. Lovecraft. "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" taught me everything I know about ghouls. You have their ancient combination of bestial hunger and human intelligence, as well as the implications of their grim, subterranean society.
