[QUOTE="Xamnam, post: 9136342, member: 7037765"] The connection to the history of the hobby it provides, and the sheer scope and depth of information available. Even if there's not 5e material, so much is readily accessible. For the last character I built, I was able to pull from Dragon Magazine a whole article just about Mithrendain, which I had landed on as his most recent stay, and that gave me a ton of context to pull from and build off of, and then use [I]Heroes of the Feywild [/I]to generate what had led him to find and reside there. And now that I've played in it for some time, I'm able to inhabit character that are much more confident about their knowledge of the world. It's fantastic to be the party member who recognizes the emblem of the Zhentarim and can warn the others, or be exhausted preemptively when they hear we need to head all the way up to Citadel Adbar. On top of that, it lands perfectly for me in the niche of: built on heaps of classic fantasy tropes with just enough weird, unique aspects to make it memorable. [/QUOTE]
