None of the feats from the video games are in this book. The only mechanics-related stuff we have left to cover are monsters. There is a chapter on unreleased key and concept art, but I can't really review that besides perhaps showing off a few of the pictures.

Classes, Part II The concept of the Monk originated among Tirmarian warrior societies, ranging from those who combined their training with religious principles to those who sought to find ways to fight without weapons for necessity and other reasons. Like so many other traditions it spread to...

I haven't played that campaign yet, so I can't say what's been included. But it doesn't have any setting details on the Lost Valley besides a brief mention with one of the Warlock patrons, so I'm quite sure it doesn't have anything new in regards to that region. The only expansion stuff included...

Chapter 5: the Peoples of Solasta Another short chapter, this section details the major groups of humanoids that call Solasta home. Despite being much less humanocentric than other settings, the vast majority of the population hews to the Tolkien classics in being humans, dwarves, elves, or...

Thank you for pointing that out. I decied to change mention to "religious types" instead given that covers a broader focus. That is an interesting idea, although sadly the book doesn't really explore or touch on this.

Chapter 3: Caer Cyflen Now that we covered the big picture of Solasta, we’re going to zoom in on the locations of pertinent interest to PCs for the next two chapters. The first is Caer Cyflen, capital city of the Principality of Masgarth. The book even notes that it was designed to be the...

Drive-Thru RPG Store Page. Modiphius Store Page. Right now you can only get the PDF by preordering the physical book. Around September you should be able to buy the PDF separately. Before Baldur’s Gate 3 came onto the scene, there was only one video game RPG that explicitly used the 5th...

The Dragon is more or less a manifestation of Satan, so that's the closest we get to a stat block. There's also the Avatar of Satan, which is perhaps a more authentic portrayal of the Devil's mentality and tactics. I covered both of those creatures in this review.

I should note that I did an in-depth review for this book as well as its sequel here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/lets-read-the-adventurers-guide-to-the-bible.691725/ https://www.enworld.org/threads/lets-read-azraels-guide-to-the-apocalypse.699031/ To summarize both, I'm a huge fan of...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, as this isn't really a game mechanic in 5e unless you're talking about spells such as Color Spray or Prismatic Spray. Are you referring to something close to Magic the Gathering, where major divisions of magic are separated by theme into colors?

Saving Jesus Artwork by Carl Bloch The arrest and crucifixion of Jesus Christ is one of the most detailed and well-known parts of Christian history. His death is an important part of the religion’s evolution, a moment of self-sacrifice to bear humanity’s transgressions and through that pave...

Product Link Product Type: DMing Tools CoS-Required? Yes While I usually don’t review free products, I felt that this one’s interesting enough to merit its own discussion. When it comes to the various recruitable Destined Allies in Curse of Strahd, Mordenkainen clearly stands out. Not only is...

This is honestly a gigantic shame. Safe to say that I've been a huge fan, but based on the statements by those formerly working for the company, I can no longer support Evil Genius Games' work unless there's some guarantee of big changes from the ground up.

While I figure a lot of people are rightfully hooked on Baldur's Gate 3, the publishers of the prior big 5e video game, Solasta, are having a survey to gauge reader interest in their campaign setting. The setting sourcebook was originally a limited edition reward for a KickStarter pledge, but...

Chapter 13: Gods & Monsters, Part 2 The rest of the monsters in the bestiary are mostly individual entries, with only a few grouped together by theme like we saw with the gods and dinosaurs. A recurring element I’ve noticed and criticism I have among the real-world animals are misspellings in...

Chapter 13: Gods & Monsters, Part 1 The final chapter of the book is also the longest, making us so close yet so far away from the finish line. Before we dive into all the new creatures in the setting, we start out with some general advice in preserving the awe and wonder of a new world that...

Chapter 12: Treasures Besides Dungeons, Dragons, and leveling up, treasure is the other nigh-universal constant of DnD settings. A rather short chapter, most of it is detailed by new and converted magic items but starts out by talking about the other kinds of loot. First off, the lack of coins...

This isn't a full post, but I decided to group the Threats based on the broad campaign themes associated with them in the book. First organized by threat group, then by themes. Threats The Brood: Epic Fantasy Craven of the Kraken Coast: Heroic Fantasy, Horror Crawling Awful: Cosmic Horror...

Chapter 11, Part 2: Threats No campaign setting would be complete without powerful villains for your PCs to oppose, and Planegea spares no expense in coming up with a rogue’s gallery of foes menacing the good people of this primordial world. Each threat is a veritable power unto their own, with...
