Mutual annihilation?

Because Eileen is a common Irish name. E before I at the start of a word lengthens the I sound. I.e. as standard English (and very common in German). If it follows a consonant its pronounced differently. Whilst there are many exceptions, there is a reason for the "i before e" rule. Following a...

True, I’m going off the 2014 version and assuming the changes don’t break anything. The biggest issue with that early version is it didn’t have many options apart from to stand at the back and throw infinite acid bottles.

I tested both of those in actual play, and they were both really not fun. Rejecting them was the right decision. The artificer we ended up with is far more fun to play. Can’t speak for the psion yet oc.

Those look fairly simple to me. One assumes unless stated otherwise it’s as standard English. So I-leen-R and loo-law-m.

I wouldn't use it for a full campaign, but I did use it for a visit and short adventure in the Preserve of the Ancients. It's not really a very big place, so I don't know how much more could be said about it really. I tend to not use provided linking devices, but I like it better than the...

Might want to check out NWN: Shadows of Undrentide if you haven't already. Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide - Wikipedia

The political situation that has caused this is much bigger than a game of D&D. In the long run, the vulnerability of a world economic system based around quick and easy global transport has been clearly shown.

Plans for the Crystal Palace are easily available on line, so I thought I would post some, as they could be repurposed for D&D. The original design was much cooler than the finished building. It's also more like the Red Nails city. They didn't manage the dome, instead ending up with a half...
