5 out of 5 rating for Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms A must for every Faerun fan.

I didn't consider the WoTC forums that big, or active. At least the few times I went there it was rather slow going.

This looks really nice. Great work.

We were mostly disappointed with the way magic had been nerfed, most other things are fine about 5e. Still, we could simply house rule this - it's not like we don't have a gazillion house rules for 3.5/PF already. Also,too many things we didn't like in 4e are clearly visible in 5e. But the...

I loved playing through this. And we did play it with a long standing group. We did have a deux ex machina to rise our chars several times though. For some reason, our wizard never once died though. We were a bit higher in levels than suggested if I remember right, and 6 people.

David Bowie has died of cancer. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35278872 He kind of made it perfect with just releasing his last album on his birthday. Thanks for your music and inspiration.

One of the best leader our country ever had. RIP

Great ideas! All races will have various cultures, probably as at odds with each other as some human cultures will be This will be especially true for elves and dwarfs so wood shaping elves fit right in Also, humans will be the result of magically mixing most of the other races, which is...

That's odd, seriously :heh: Yeah I do usually focus on 5-7 core races - although I have always used about all of the offered races I made it a habit to let something appear at least once in longer campaigns if it is in there in theory Going by the majority of my players, they do want at least...

I've gone through my collection but came up empty

I have a few players who always play humans because they reckon they wouldn't be able to play another race in a believable way

That's a very good approach. Occurred to me though, I need a map first. Because cultures really do not develop without specific environments and their specific neighbors.

I want to keep humans mainly to also have human culture mix ups where you can't point out what real world culture or stereotype they are based on. But they won't be the most numerous race.

And I'm already awaiting the sequel to the sequel :-)

Thing with that is, hardly anyone wants to play it. Just look at Talislanta. Many people love the idea, but playing it? Nope. Too much reading to do on all the new races and animals which are hard to remember. One player told me that while it is a good concept, he wants to just be able to delve...

That just made my night :cool:

Yeah, it's out of the door for that #1 guy - other than that, you would be better off looking for another group as the dynamic is unlikely to change.

Thanks to the thread about "Cultural Approbation" I'm working on new societies for my games again. Now I'm curious, what societies and subgroups of well known races have been created by everyone? How much did you mix up existing ideas (especially existing human culture and stereotypes) and how...

Any idea where you read about it?

Uhm, I'm not "ordering" anyone to do anything. I have no idea how that should even be possible. Also, I don't base my views on those of my ex - we just happen to agree on a lot of things. Not so much on others, obviously. He's also not my best friend, I don't know where you got that from...
