Eberron: Rising from the Last War (D&d Campaign Setting and Adventure Book) | Wizards RPG Team

so-so

Structurally, this book is a Pick. Lots of info about the world of Eberron, and even a few sample adventures to get the campaign started. But content-wise, for me, it‘s a so-so, because Eberron is a grim, gritty noir world and I don‘t think I would enjoy a campaign there. I also skimmed most of the last two chapters.

Fizban's Treasury of Dragons (Dungeon & Dragons Book) | Dungeons & Dragons

so-so

More of a high so-so for me. For whatever reason, I found this harder to get through than the more « flip-through » books such as Xanathar‘s Guide and Tasha‘s Cauldron. I did like the cool dragonborn ranger, though, and recorded the info for future use.

Tales from the Loop | Simon St�lenhag

Every Thursday I will be posting about a book, or short story, I love that I have either never posted about or have not posted about in a long time. For my first entry for #ThorsDayRec is Stålenhag's sui generis work Tales From The Loop. I have seen this categorized under: Graphic Novel, Sci-Fi, Art Books, Fiction. Set in the 80s, TFL tells of a town with both decommissioned & sentient machines. There's a meandering narrative woven into (cont)

vivastory incredible artwork. TFL is like Stranger Things meets Dark. I def plan on checking out Stålenhag's other work!

Bette His book, Electric State has been getting buzz since Netflix, sounds like the book is preferable. 1mo

vivastory @BarbaraBB There's been a board game & a tv show of his work but it seems like his books are the lesser known when you Google him 1mo

vivastory @Bette I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on the adaptations. Seems like most of the Netflix book adaptation lately have been misses 1mo

An interesting read, with funny asides between Volo and Elminster. Some really creepy illustrations; well done!

Volo's Guide to Monsters | Wizards RPG Team

I‘m pretty sure that last sentence should say “the most INSULATED level of the pyramid” rather than “the most insulted” 🤣

Xanathar's Guide to Everything | Wizards RPG Team

pick

This was a fun collection of bits and bobs. I found a bunch of neat spells that of COURSE my current character (a Cleric) can‘t actually use 😂 Also liked Xanathar‘s asides and the disclaimer on the copyright page.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (D&d Rules Expansion) (Dungeons & Dragons) | Wizards RPG Team

pick

It‘s neat to read this now that I have the 2024 ruleset to see what made it into the new rules. The chapter on « group patrons » was cool too for presenting ways to bring the party together rather than just meeting in a tavern ?
