Hi everyone,
I'm hoping you can help out a new DM. I'm about to start a WotBS campaign with the $1 PDFs I bought from RPGNow and it looks like this will be the most epic campaign I've ever been a part of. It'll definitely blow Scales of War off the map. However, I am having some difficulties with it. I want to give the players a few more race options, but I'm having a hard time fitting them into the setting. Specifically, I want to put in the Deva, Githzerai, Goliaths and Shifters and Drow. I'm also considering Warforged,Minotaurs and Thri-Kreen, but that seems to be a stretch for the setting, though if someone can convince me otherwise, I'll be more than happy to put them in. I'm not putting in Shardminds or Wilden-- they are way too weird for the setting and for new players. Muls are easy-- they are half-breeds from Dassen.
So, if anyone has some quick ideas about how to integrate these races into the WotBS setting, whether from a previous campaign you've run or are running or just from ideas, please let me know. It's a bit tough for me, especially given the previous background on these races from the PHBs and other sources.
