I also own it, but I don't consider it bad, just overpriced. It has the shortest page count by far but the price didn't really reflect that. Bigger maps, especially for cities and towns, would have been nice. Back to the question at hand. What do I think makes a good setting book? Maps, lots...

My group has been playing SW as our 'side game' for a few months now, maybe closer to a year. I'm a player rather than the DM in our regular game, so it was entirely new to me. The one running these sessions has said "I'll play any game, but as far as running, I only want to run Savage Worlds...

Yes, that caught my eye too. How could it not?

If you watch his live play, Matt Colville's players are definitely roleplaying and definitely not Roleplayers.

Yes. Back in the late 70's my dad brought home the basic boxed set and he DM'd for me and my brother. It didn't last too long, but it got me hooked on the game. My wife & I played loads of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, & Neverwinter Nights back in the 90's and early 2000's. In January 2015, my...

What? I said the opponents would gang up on the 'searching' character. I did not say anything about overriding a player's decisions or ignore rules.

Yep, if that happened at my table, the monsters would focus their attention on the character(s) doing the looting. If a player complained, I would explain that 1) the monster knows you are distracted and an easy target; 2) if the opponents are even semi-intelligent they would be super offended...

I have to admit, that is exactly what came to mind when I saw the thread title "The Hags of 5E"

Stretch goals are cool and all, but at this point I hope Magpie just sits back and lets the KS run its coarse. More stretch goals give more areas for the project to be delayed. As an alternative to additional things to include, they could add more art, offset the production cost, or print more...

Not being ready for your turn is my number 1. I don't mind answering questions at the start of your turn like "do I have a clear shot?" or "which one is injured?" or "can I get there with my movement?" but if its clear that you haven't been paying attention then I do get irritated. Figure out...

The Way of Shadow Monk mixed with a few levels of Rogue Assassin for the sneak attack.

I bought it and was disappointed. It was great to see all my favorite characters with 5e stat blocks, but the villains' motivations seemed forced and hokey. Faldorn as an eco-terrorist was great, but Edwin, Monty & Xzar all fell flat. However, I did use Viconia as a hook to get the party the...

Shouldn't that be 10 tons? Still a huge amount for sure.

No, I don't expect them to offer STL files either. I meant I wonder if I can justify spending the $ when I can print my own now. I still haven't pulled the trigger on subscribing to a 3d sculpting service and the free ones I find are 'good enough for now.' I don't like paying for models I will...

Wow, I thought I was doing well having supported 19 projects! Compared to some of you, that's a drop in the bucket. All of mine have been TTRPG products save for 3 - a back massager, an endangered species enamel pin that my daughter wanted to back, and a couple $ for the Critical Role animated...

I think that is the hook here. You didn't claim to own every submission and were more than happy to credit and promote those submissions you did use.

Nor do I. Yes there is 'lore' in the book, but from my brief skim through it is in examples and such. I bought the book mostly for the organizations (the Kingdoms part). I don't see the Warfare part being used by our group any time in the near future. We might trot it out just to give it a spin.

My family started playing 5E together when my kids were 11 & 6. I also introduced their friend groups to the game. Here are a few things I've learned about playing with kids. Like adult players, some will like exploration more, some will like social encounters more & some will like combat more...

I believe that is another gem dragon, not a silver

Yes, I exaggerated, but I imagine it must be somewhat freeing for an author to know that WotC is not depending on them to develop the canon of the setting.
