    Dante's Divine Comedy for 5e – The Straight Way Lost: An Interview With Melina Sedó (Vortex Verlag)

    True that. I really like a lot of the in and the WotC books. I like quite a lot of art in pen and paper gaming, come to think of it. Feels nice if you get mentioned in the same breath as other quality books, though. :) I do think we bring something unique to the table, though. I haven't really...

    Dante's Divine Comedy for 5e – The Straight Way Lost: An Interview With Melina Sedó (Vortex Verlag)

    Hi - The available species in this game are: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Dwarf, Half-Dwarf, Tiefling and Nephilim. So two new species, the Half-Dwarf and the Nephilim. These made sense in our setting. It really is a world made for Tieflings, I have to say, with all the Inferno stuff going on. Gnomes...
