Besides where would you find all of these clothes? Are there any goblins or kobolds running about? You need to skim that worlds legends when you finish. I doubt there has been a humanoid thing on that island ever.

That made me imagine a world where everything but Atlantis sunk under the waves.

I think people were wanting to add the reactions to allow Vanod to craft clothing from hides. Which I firmly oppose.

Uh, Cyclops, giants, colossi, anything resembling man in number of limbs......Sorry, just felt like being a bit of a dick, and sometimes these little technicalities annoy me.  I get what you mean though.  Nothing civilized has ever been on this island, especially not our protagonist(?).

I've not gotten through the whole story, but I am loving it.  The adventure, the artwork, the narrative - I might squee.  I should be asleep by now but I have to find out what the latest news is with Vanod!

If you have okay wrestling, you can stab someone in the lower body, making their guts pop out. If you then wrestle and pinch the guts, you can sever them. By then, the guy's probably unconscious. If he's not, strangle him until he is and cave in his skull with the guts.

No, really.

Righto.
Now we need to make legends agree with the story.

can already disprove that with just one word, trolls.
true they don't wear clothes but they are humanoids and i think they are slightly closer to being like humans then cyclopes.

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

Regardless of how the monsters' limbs are stuck onto their bodies, none of them are sentient/wear clothing. As far as sentient races go, there are only the underground civilizations (animal-men) and I don't think I have a way down there, sadly.

I have a world similar to this one, just with massive amount of gobos(which are also the only outdoor sentinents), but by messing around with world gen parameters i think you wuld be able to build a world similar...

Dwarves use their beards to influence the adamantite to change form. A dwarves beard is specialized in his job, therefore a legendary miner has a much better mining beard then a legendary weaponsmith, who has a beard that influences metals to make armor much more.
This also explains why dwarves can have a city on just a soap pillar, the beard of the soapmaking dwarf causes the soap to become rigid.

I do believe there are occasionally paths down to the underground caverns from the overworld. It's been a while (and a couple versions) since I've had an adventurer make it down there though, so I'm not really sure if it's currently possible.

It is, but in a standard world their are about 12 of the "mountain caves" that go surface to cavern.
