Vodari has three main groups of dwarves (mountain, hill, and sea). All of them started as the same people but history has pulled them apart. A great war deep in the mountains led to the hill dwarves splitting off into their own nation to avoid fighting a war far from their hillside farms. In...

Make it your own, the more you change the more it is your own. Love to hear about Vodari DMs out in the wild!!!

I have no idea how I would be able to run my 5e games with only WotC materials. I'd have a very small selection of player options, maps, magic items, adventures, and DM tools to draw from for my homebrew campaigns. I also run my online games using Roll20. Kobold Press, Griffon's Saddlebag, Nord...

It's been a tough week, nice to hear you're finding Vodari useful for your game.

Sorry for the delay, just noticed this now... We have under 100 copies available for sale for The Seas of Vodari (2020) remaining and we're taking pre-orders for Under the Seas of Vodari (2022), which is going to print this month and will widely release in PDF soon. Please visit...

Awesome to hear about people running Vodari inspired themes.

I used it a few times. I've come to the point where I track it mentally and let the players know that their fame/infamy will have an impact on the roll. Usually advantage or disadvantage is most cases to keep it simple. I've also had NPCs know them before they introduce themselves and used...

The Campaign Case Creatures is giving me a real D&D meets poker night feel.

FYI - Looking at my review copy... the new underwater rules in this book are less than a column long in total.

I read Invincible in comic form a while ago. It's not some huge Marvel or DC title and now look it. I can't imagine the typical viewer of Invincible is enough of a hardcore comic fan to have read the books. The number of people who watched Arcane who don't play LoL is massive, even in my own...

Wow! 1-UP received a copyright take-down by Nintendo.

Sorry, you are disappointed by the lack of undersea content. I just wanted to mention there is a 200+ page book coming out later this year called Under the Seas of Vodari. There was no way we could do justice to the undersea world in the seafaring focused The Seas of Vodari book, so we provided...

Developer of the Vodari ship chapter here... Your guess is correct. While we were writing the Vodari book only the DMG ship content was out... then Saltmarsh was announced. We had a full ship combat guide for 5e already published on DriveThru. We decided to keep much of that content out of the...

I thought I'd drop a note about Vodari here too... a follow-up is coming out called Under the Seas of Vodari in 2021.

Yes
