D&D 5E (2014) High 5e: Review, Resource, & Request Thread

[jayoungr]

I tend to do reviews of products I already own and interest me greatly. I don't know enough about Snowhaven, and the initial concept while interesting isn't enough to "wow" me.

Fair enough. My copy just arrived, so maybe I'll review it myself if I get some free time soon.

I'm looking forward to the 5TD review coming next. I've been playing around with it a lot lately.

It’s been a while since I posted in this thread or reviewed something from this list. But it’s been a few months and in that time I saw quite a bit of new books pop up as well as older ones that passed me by. I decided to make a new post rather than add these to the OP for various reasons: the first is that some forums I posted this thread on disallow editing of posts beyond a certain date. The second is that it’s less work on my part. Yes, I know I’m lazy.

But without further ado, here’s 16 more products that caught my eye:

Ancestry & Culture: An Alternative to Race in 5e: A book that seeks a compromise between the bioessentialist “all dwarves know how to dodge giants” and making race not matter by providing new rules separating the two. That way, one can mix and match to have an elf raised in human communities, a hero of mixed gnome-tiefling heritage, and guidelines for converting existing races into the new system.

I am awaiting for my copy of World of Alessia to come in. It's pretty awesome though from what I've seen in the PDF. I plan on combining that and Esper Genesis together.

The Alessia portion being the first half of the campaign, and then at the mid point, a ship will be unlocked and allow the Alessia PCs to make their way to the Silrayne Arc where the Esper Genesis portion happens.
