In the novel, things go sideways pretty much immediately and the party starts out distrustful of each other and at each other's throats. The character in the top left is Fielle the artificer, and she is initially portrayed as a sweet, doormouse, always-trys-to-see-the-good type of character ...

Heh, I just made my group play the new Builders of Baldur's Gate board game from Wizkids. We had fun, but it was somewhat complicated and off-putting for a couple of them. Perhaps D&D Horrified (or Horrified D&D) will be more their speed. For $30, its worth a shot!

Thanks! And now we know what @FitzTheRuke looks like . . . bwahaha!

Can we eat it? Is it person-shaped? Is it a person? (or sapient) Generally, in fantasy, eating a sapient person-shaped creature (or making things out of it's remains) is considered cannibalism and evil (and gross). But of course, we have plenty of sapient creatures who are NOT person-shaped...

Do FLGS's have the physical book in stock yet, with the limited cover? Or is it just digitally available on D&D Beyond . . . if you purchased the digital/physical bundle (or just the digital version)?

Why is it a problem that they ask you to create an account on Alchemy to take advantage of their offer? Seems fair to me.

I do agree that all of the characters could use more development . . . they all felt very quirky, quippy, and diverse but on a surface level. Perhaps in the next book and in the comic we'll get deeper character development.

It is official art. The comic is not being produced directly by WotC of course, but Dark Horse is licensing the D&D property and the Fallbacks characters. Dark Horse would have had to work closely with the WotC D&D team on the characters, setting, tone, and art-style to keep the Fallbacks team...

It's been a minute since I read "Bound for Ruin", the first Fallbacks story, but . . . if Tess's (Tessalynde, our elven rogue) weight/size doesn't impact her being a nimble rogue and if the character doesn't have issues with her own weight/size . . . why should the book make a big deal about it...

The "Urban Pack" which includes two doppelgangers, a bandit, and a tabaxi rogue. "Coming Soon" we'll also get the "Easy Rider Pack" which includes commoner clothing sets for modular minis, and also a "Dragon Pack" which includes a blue dragon wyrmling, red dragon wyrmling, wyvern, and young red...

The idea that elves were ever anything more than magical humans with pointy ears is the fiction. The visual language of what elves look like has certainly shifted within D&D and fantasy at large, but elves have never really been non-human, not even in the folklore they are derived from. I'm...

For my own comments . . . First, to be pedantic . . . the second Fallbacks novel, "Dealing with Dragons", doesn't actually release until later this summer on July 29. There was also a "Little Golden Book" for kids featuring the Fallbacks, "The Perfect Party", but haven't read that one . . ...

Sigh. As expected, the negative, toxic and "clever" comments abound . . . And add in some gross comments about the elf rogue being heavy. If you don't care for the artwork, the characters, or the tone . . . that's fine. But the kind of comments we're seeing in this thread are the kind that...

Good point.

Thanks! However, that is a different game. AiME (Adventures in Middle Earth) is the older 5E adaptation of The One Ring (1st Ed). LotR5E (Lord of the Rings 5E) is the newer adaptation of The One Ring (2nd Ed). Similar games, but different enough this cheat sheet won't work well for the newer game.

I will! But . . . don't hold your breath. My neighbors all have multiple landscaping projects left started but never completed . . . I do the same thing, but with RPG projects . . .

Yup. I like the journey rules, but they are NOT well laid out. I'm working on a "cheat sheet" for my game on this and other LotR5E subsystems.

In the afterschool D&D Club I run . . . as soon as one kid says they want a pet for their character, they ALL want pets for their characters! I'm looking forward to this one! I almost picked up the Wardlings D&D variant from WizKids because it includes some sort of pet rules . . . curious about...

https://www.pathfinderinfinite.com/ It's a lot like the DM's Guild for D&D, but for Pathfinder! If you are a Pathfinder fan, it's worth checking out, IMO.

No, but as a teacher, thanks for the link!
