    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    I've uploaded a new lore video for you folks about one of the greatest heroes (and villains) of the setting. Only one week left in the kickstarter!

    D&D 5E (2014) So Where my Witches at?

    Every wiccan I know loves the Halloween imagery and spooky goth imagery. They are totally cool with it. And these are people with the most serious, esoteric books on the subject, people who actually know what they're doing. Wicca is just like Satanism. It's more of an anti-establishment movement...

    D&D 5E (2014) So Where my Witches at?

    My co-writer is a witch and so is his girlfriend and all of her friends, maybe somewhere a truly offense witch stereotype exists (as silly as that seems to me,) but none of the attempts at a D&D conversion have struck them as particularly problematic so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) So Where my Witches at?

    "Using the witch archetype takes careful judgement in a table-by-table basis?" I'm sorry, but this sounds a bit ridiculous. Tell me gaming tables haven't seriously gotten this sensitive. That's like saying you have to be cautious in introducing clerics or paladins because Christians acted...

    D&D 5E (2014) So Where my Witches at?

    I combine folkloric witches, elements of paganism/"Wicca," and pop culture witches in our Witch class, which is for our 5E setting book. Highlights not only include hexes/curses, but also wand-making, shapechanging, flying broomsticks, and an emphasis on nature magic. You can check out the...

    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    Looks like, based on hitting our 2nd stretch goal, we'll lock in our pre-planned expansion for the setting, which is a sword & sorcery inspired old school mini setting and adventure. Martin Sobr will be doing the artwork, he's already got one piece for us:

    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    Yes. I mean, all the writing and most of the world-building anyway. My best friend is helping me out with the actual production.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the appeal of the weird fantasy races?

    I think Chewbacca is one of the best mainstream examples of how to make a non-human race interesting and not just a regular person in a funny hat. Chewie is the only wookie we ever see, and he doesn't look like a human at all. He has a simple anthropoid frame that most of us are familiar...

    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    I started playing D&D in high school 22 years ago. We played in Dragonlance at first (2nd Edition,) but I wanted to make a world more like Middle Earth at the time, because I was reading the SIlmarillion and kind of getting obsessed with it. So that's what I did! I drew a map on printer paper...

    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    Yes, both literally and figuratively represented. Both paths have a plethora of Hexes, unique spells which reflect the lore of the type of Witch practicing them. This is in addition to subclass-specific abilities achieved while leveling.

    D&D 5E (2014) A new, old-school, high fantasy setting for 5E is coming soon: the Chronicles of Aeres

    Our classes: The Witch, a caster with two subclasses, the Malefici (focusing on the left hand path,) and the Feasa (focusing on the right hand path.) Basically destruction versus nurturing. Our next class is the Dreamcaller, inspired a bit by Neil Gaiman's Sandman. A magic-user who siphons...
