...my players won't realise that their chosen path to Save The WorldTM pushes against against the order of the cosmos (everything dies, even worlds), so i anticipate some proper shock-and-awe when tearful celestials unexpectedly appear, bringing the righteous fury of the heavens to bear upon...

...i've been chewing on the prospect of these books for a few weeks (have all the fifth-edition airdhe books in my library) but unlike the codex of airdhe expansions, in the end i couldn't quite convince myself that they were sufficiently system neutral, so last night i ordered green ronin's...

...for whatever reason, enworld doesn't provide an option to upload images directly from my tablet, but now that i'm back at my desktop i can do so... ...can you point me to an image-hosting service available in the UK for future tablet use?..i'm stuck in texas so i share your frustration...

...ow, did you have to kick me right in the telomeres?!.

...for tales of the valiant, the players' guide is the only "core" book by that metric: it's the complete game, although you're doing it a disservice without the additional creatures + encounter-building material from the monster vault... ...tales of the valiant really embraces the modularity...

...for traditonal fantasy settings, my rule-of-thumb is that all players must first create and play a human character before their second core-demihuman, and must create play both a human and a core-demihuman character before any exotic race...that generally herds character demographics into a...

...the baby boom encompassed a loooooong generation; that they got twenty years when all the others got fifteen has more to do with their parents' shared post-war economy, lifestyle, and media landscape than any common cultural identity shared between kids who came-of-age in the fifties and kids...

...can't remember whether it was early in the 5e product announcements or toward the end of the stream, there's a lot packed in there: in short, they say that the product line will continue but they're not ready to announce new licensees yet...
