I would really like to get my hands on this book and start an Eberron campaign before I catch COVID 19. That is not meant as a glib response; I'm seriously worried about catching the coronavirus and would at least like to enjoy running an Eberron game before things get out of hand. I'm in a...

Nice. I have played the 5e Bard myself and it was exceptional. Sam Riegel actually managed to demonstrate how exceptional the 5e Bard was to a huge audience in Critical Role campaign 1; it's not speculation - the proof is in the playing. 5e has turned what was once one of the weakest classes in...

If you are talking about the 5e Bard then Sam Riegel from Critical Role would like to talk to you. The 5e Bard is one of the most versatile and influential D&D classes I've laid eyes on.

COVID 19 has now appeared in Italy; Iran; Israel and is spreading dangerously out of control in South Korea. The World Health Organisation is saying the window of opportunity to contain the virus is nearly shut. In China, authorities are reporting one man had an incubation period of almost 4...

WEG d6 2nd Edition Revised (the one with the Millennium Falcon on the cover) was THE Star Wars RPG - I played in and ran that game for years and still have many books for it. Nothing else came close and I played WEG 1st Ed, 2nd Ed, WotC D20, D20 Revised and Saga. Some of the most memorable...

The kind of debate I read in this thread is not enjoyable. It is pedantic to the extreme; aggravating and borderline adversarial. It is not debate or argument; just people talking past each other and nit picking. The topic of the thread is why do we demand official product - that's an...

Ah, pleasant conversation restored - for now!

If everyone in the game is having fun then telling someone they are running the game in a bad way is 'Your way is BadWrongFun'. So what if someone runs a game in a way you don't approve of? You're not playing in that game are you? Live and let live.

Not trying to win a debate around an Elf game; I am responding to someone who presents their opinions as fact and then can't explain why they think that way. It doesn't matter what forum I'm on, I will always call that out otherwise we end up with misrepresentation; misinformation or fake news...

This all perfectly reasonable and I agree with you. My issue is this as succinctly as I can make it: if someone puts forward an argument into the public domain and a member of the public disagrees and asks for a rationale for that viewpoint; the person should provide that rationale or expect...

Zaardnar is posting that adding Dragonborn to the Forgotten Realms makes the setting worse. The way he posts this ( over and over again) makes this seem like an indisputable fact which he seems incapable of explaining the rationale for. Other people, including myself, disagree with this. This...

This is fine, you have explained why adding Dragonborn makes the setting worse in your opinion. The other poster did not and seems unable to. If someone is unable to explain why they have reached a particular opinion - how that opinion was formed - that opinion is then worthless and not worthy...

The Urban dictionary defines humanocentricity as a human centred world view which relegates all other lifeforms as being secondary and much more inferior. If you translate that view to a D&D setting, it doesn't prevent the existence of non- humans in the setting but it will make playing a...

This reply doesn't even come close to answering my post - this does not explain how adding races makes settings worse. How does adding Dragonborn to Forgotten Realms make the setting worse? Why does adding Tabaxi or Goliaths to Forgotten Realms not make the setting worse? Why does adding...

Please provide at least three concrete examples of how adding more races to a setting makes it worse. Also, justify these examples with discussion as to why you think a D&D fantasy setting where anything can be added and includes magic that can conjure things; provide planar travel or allows...

Apologies for the s word then but my grandmothers all died before I was born. As my mother tells it, her mother swore like a trooper. So does my aunt. We'd have got along famously. In this day and age, I didn't realise the s word was still a swear word; you read worse in the newspapers here in...

I own the Forgotten Realms campaign settings for 1e, 2e, 3e and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. Didn't bother with 4e. Which of these is the best? All of them of course because I can use whatever I want from any of the different versions, set the campaign whenever I want or just make naughty word up...

I'm an old time player, I started at the tail end of 1e. When it comes to updating old campaign settings, I say stuff those old settings. Give me something that chimes with what fantasy is about now. Change and evolution is inevitable. WotC don't have to publish any damn setting if they don't...

One example would be the Scarlet Brotherhood who are essentially fantasy Nazis. THAT is not in the PHB. I also recall the Aztec/Olmec flavoured nation in the jungle terrain to the south; that doesn't get covered. How about the crashed spaceship in the Barrier Peaks? The DMG covers futuristic...

Add Dark Sun to the very popular list, maybe Ravenloft (the setting not just Barovia).
