If you're asking about the Dragonlance Companion, I've already reviewed it and do plan to compare once I finish Tasslehoff's.

Product Link Dragonlance has had a major setting sourcebook in every official Dungeons & Dragons Edition save for 4th. But their releases weren’t always immediate, and the online Dragonlance fandom has been known to pick up the pace and make free fan material. The Dragonlance Nexus is perhaps...

Escape From Senag Island Our last adventure in the Dragonlance Companion, Escape from Senag Island is a combat-heavy module designed for 4-5 PCs of 5th level. Like Trials of the Tower Initiate, the PCs will level up multiple times, once each time after completing one of three major tasks, and...

These aren’t exactly full adventures, but rather serve as short encounters that can be inserted while the PCs are traveling. The Bones Below is our first encounter, described as suitable for a party of 3-5 PCs of levels 5 to 10, which honestly is a very wide range. It takes place near the edge...

Traveling the River of Time Time travel is a rather important plot element in Dragonlance, particularly during the Legends trilogy. It wouldn’t be proper to just dump all these time-based spells into the campaign and not have some advice for the DM, right? This chapter is more or less a short...

I agree with a lot of your estimations. I seem to have missed some of the Ages' buffs fading away after certain conditions, so I'll include that as an addendum. Thank you for pointing that out. This is true. A lot of elements in Dragonlance that became part of the wider lore were those kinds...

Grave Speaker Ranger represents those who understand that death is as much a part of the natural world as life…and find it more fascinating than living creatures. Their 3rd level features include gaining thematic bonus spells such as False Life and Revivify, gaining helpful whispers from spirits...

Product Link When Wizards of the Coast was promoting Shadow of the Dragon Queen, many Dragonlance fans knew it was only a matter of time before their beloved setting got approved for the Dungeon Master’s Guild. Several groups such as the Dragonlance Nexus began work on making player’s...

I wouldn't recommend it as a bestiary or new magic items. That material is but a fraction of the whole book, and they're quite strongly themed in being mostly fiends. I'm sure there are some scenes/encounters that can be used in other settings, but that's a very subjective theme and overall I...

I do recall some people being skeptical upon first hearing about it for the reasons you outlined about preaching/demonization. One YouTuber I watched initially thought that the whole thing was a joke. I'm hoping that my review helped such people get a more comprehensive understanding of the...

The last two chapters sound like they have general-purpose advice for when the Deck inevitably derails a campaign. Am I getting that right?

I made the mistake of buying this book first before the Campaign Guide and ended up stumped at the relative brevity when talking about the world at large or references to things in the main Setting Guide to which I didn't have access. "Oh, we're just jumping into races? Okay, but when are we...

Thank you for all those who answered. I think I'll wait until all 3 volumes are out; feels too weird when an adventure I'd be buying is "incomplete" in some way.

You said that the megadungeon isn't really a megadungeon. Are they actually fully disconnected from each other, or do they have a common geographical link of some kind? Like a bunch of caves in a larger tunnel network being technically the same underground system?

Chapter 17: The Wedding at Ravenloft. This is it,the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The finale to the Curse of Strahd Companion, when the PCs venture to Castle Ravenloft, save Ireena, and defeat Strahd! This chapter is meant to be used in conjunction with Chapter 4 in that one details the...

Edit: Normally I would let this thread fade into the ether, but with the recent post updating the thread I am inclined to point out that this book's publisher, Pulp Hummock Press, has come out in favor of the "anti-woke" side of the culture wars on their Twitter account. Not so much direct...

The Companion notes that the blights individually are very weak to send against 5th level PCs, and their large numbers make traditional combat with them a drag. Additionally, the book notes that with their silver immunity it’s highly unlikely that the wereravens would have been defeated by mere...

To clarify about Chuck Dixon, that person also worked with Vox Day on a superhero comic that portrayed QANON (a conspiracy theory that is reflavored anti-Semitic blood libel) in a positive light. "Where we go one, we go all" is a common phrase among QANON believers. Dixon is also known for his...

Cat Alunya's an anarchist. She's from a now-defunct webcomic called Political Ideology Catgirls. It's a play on words on Catalonia, a region that was anarchist-friendly during the Spanish Civil War.

Fascists and similar authoritarians are quite fond of casting their actions as a "grim necessity." They'll opine that they wish things didn't have to come to this, that they didn't want to have to enact horrific violence, that they didn't want to have to undermine democratic institutions. "I...
