I agree with this. As a curious observer you get better information about the product from forums, youtube videos or specific RPG sites rather than from Amazon review. I mean I will look at them, but I am not expecting much. When I have used an AP, I 'almost always check out DMs Guild for the...

It is my favoutite 5e AP and is the cornerstone of my table's campaign (but I have incorporated many of other 5e APs and modules within the same time frame). HOWEVER it requires work, but if it's your passion to tinker and flesh out APs then it's all joy. The internet has a treasure trove of...

I like White Wolf's take on that...the separation from Gaia drives them mad.

Human (no 1 choice), Tiefling (I just absolutely love this as a concept), Orc (Warcraft) Probably Dwarf as a 4th.

I see. I would have to think about that as it is not something I have honestly considered. My opinion of course, but I think the predominant factor for the demographic change was a steady migration of people from other parts of the country...

I'm not sure if you read my second post where I state the reasons for why 2 persons (and please note I'm not a town planner, architect ...etc) so this is my layman knowledge. But to your point... I do not think the health, safety, town planning regulations etc are racist. I think that is an...

The purpose is to ensure, no overcrowding (as there is limited parking space), infrastructure must also be able to meet the demand (sewerage, water, garbage removal), there is the consideration of noise pollution, health (as the trash has to sit on site until collected), this general rule exists...

I think classism many a time finds itself to be mischaracterised as racist. Don't you think? For instance, in my complex the Body Corporate rules are maximum 2 people per bedroom within an apartment (this includes kids etc). Do we suddenly label this as racist? because immigrants (PoC) are...

Oh these kinds of discussions bring about all sorts of inspiration for roleplaying content to be explored in future sessions. :)

It comes down to preferences and anthologies are tricky to do, as it is, not that WotC got it right every time with epic AP's either. I will give my limited perspective on things and it is limited because I have not had the luxury of acquiring all the new material. I purchased DiA and I was...

That's what I suggested under the mixed-race subheadings - purely roleplaying and physical descriptions, not mechanics.

That is a different conversation (for us). I like @DEFCON 1's approach somewhere upthread where they mentioned one can pick two human traits and two elven traits and there you go. Personally I think a write-up would also be nice on the half-races in general where ideas could be presented on...

It would be interesting to flip the script on my PCs and have the elves on the last minute quietly pull out from the Council of Waterdeep which was formed to deal with the Cult of the Dragon issue on the grounds that the elves would like to give the problem some time to resolve itself. Besides...

If in ones own personal fantasy world, the half-elves reach population/community proportions then they are indeed their own people and not an exception like Tanis or Spock, then I agree one could compare them to a people of earth. Where though they are a rare breed, and have not reached...

I really enjoy the concept and what you can do with it - post apocalyptic so struggling for resources, feral slightly larger animals, The Call, the redemption arc with your character's trauma, dealing with religious nuttery as people try to make sense of what has happened, the ability to pull...

White Wolf Fae / Summerland - this one works if you imagine Summerland would be the creation of a Great Unleashing event. For those that do not know the RPG Summerland, the concept is similar in a way to the movie The Happening. Trees suddenly grow overnight and encroach onto civilisation...

I think that is not a logical comparison and ignores part of @MGibster's post. Do you imagine half-elves are a people with their own communities in your fantasy world or are they uncommon/rare individuals that fit within the fabric of society they live in i.e. different but same. They certainly...

Whether it be an hour within any of the movies or the middle movie as a stand alone...it's a story. They way I see RPGS bring played out is that the story is being created via play at the same time as play. The story for me is a large part of what makes RPGS different to boardgames. The way its...

I literally said this on page 2 of the thread regarding watching the middle of LotR...and asking if that was not a story on its own... The response I got was that LotR existed in its entirety so...

Conversely what if it is a session with no rolls but purely social roleplay and decison-making, Maybe the die is rolled a handful of times...do you consider that session @Reynard an exercise in story-making?
