Because I did too - in the Neverwinter 4E hardcover. "During the Spellplague, a portion of Abeir imposed itself upon the Village of Conyberry. The terrain-altering effect of this transition forced the inhabitants of the village to come together with people dwelling in the regions of Abeir to...

“You go to spend a few days in the city…what do you want to do?” The DM utters those words and you get two kinds of responses. Either role players with invested characters jump right in and get busy, while new players or those playing barbarians or those just intimidated with the options sit...
