Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragonhelm" data-source="post: 2493532" data-attributes="member: 3867">I'm going to tackle a few posts all at once here...You might be interested in a new trilogy of books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman - the Dark Chronicles.  They're including sections that were originally edited out for space, and expanding on the story in general.  Should be a fun ride.I can see where you're coming from, and to each their own.  If DL isn't to your liking, that's fine.With me, I was a huge AD&D fan, and had several wonderful games both as a player and a DM.  So my first taste was sweet.  Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of the changes made in SAGA and the 5th age.  So my second taste was a bit sour.  Yet with the Nexus and later the War of Souls trilogy and the current D&D products by Sovereign Press, I've had some good tastes again.  I guess I could equate this to Planescape.  Some people consider it the greatest setting ever, and I was turned off by the art and the feel of it upon my first glance.  It's a great setting, just not for me.It's no more work than creating a character background for any character.  I'm not talking about rewriting an entire race - just making the ones you meet memorable and not stereotypical.  Come up with a theme and run with it.  Really, all the work you're putting in is in character background.And if all else fails, just don't implement them in your game.  Kender can be on wanderlust somewhere else, gnomes can be making explosions in Mt. Nevermind, and gully dwarves can be eating filth in a sewer far away from you.Again, though, to each their own.  Obviously, I'm a DL nut, and there are those who aren't.  It's all cool. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
