[QUOTE="conclave27, post: 7747633, member: 95216"] I was sadly disappointed by "Mage's Tome of Foes". I found it to be rather generic and bland, was hoping it to be told from an Oerthean perspective but seemed all over the place. I was really disappointed with the whole demi-human section as older editions already been there done that...and an expert from Oerth I would think talk about the Olven society in the Flaness and in Ravilia on the western content? Now the esteemed "Mage" has done his fair share of planes hoping and would be familiar with Toril and the backwaters of Krynn. There are differences between the demihumans from all three planets.... but I digress.... it is supposed to be about the Tome of Foes... which does have a healthy chunk of monsters in... but felt like this was more of a "Official Conversion" of previous stuff... and some options. I felt the hype was very misleading..... it has been said that Mordenkainen did do a fair share of research into the Blood War.... but seems to have spat out what ever berk knows around Sigil. The Planescape supplement "Blood War".... goes into a great detail on all the players as it is not just Demons Vs Devils...... 5E is great and all for what it is, but seriously....if you want real info 3E and 2E have tons of material on questions most people want to know. Anyone else feel that this product was not intended for vetrans, but a catch all of cutting board stuff for new players? [/QUOTE]
