    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

However continuous criticism can become less useful and slide into frustrating territory. I would...

    What makes setting lore "actually matter" to the players?

    One of our recent storylines saw the PCs travel to Candlekeep, FR bastion of stored lore. The players seem to enjoyed participating in acquiring lore on several topics of interest related directly and indirectly to the storyline.

    Vincent Baker on narrativist RPGing, then and now

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    @Upper_Krust I did not vote on the kickstarter, but my idea is you release your baby as you feel it should look, your baby, your vision. Aim to have as little to no regrets. Personally I do like the idea of the 3 books as per your post upthread.

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes
