Nov 06, 2010 21:54:10 I bought the dragonborn book and found it quite useful as a DM actually. Alot of information and inspiration for running a group with one or several dragonborns in it. I know there are one about tieflings aswell (getting that one) but are there coming more of those? Anyone know anything about that?

Sadly this is true.

To be perfectly honest, I have never even seen either book as none of the big box Book Stores or the FLGSes in my area ever stocked it (and I would have easily purchased it on an impulse too!).

hmm, that is very sad actually. Perhaps I might gather some brave adventurers out there and start make a pdf for each and every race (starting slow with one at a time), using the same formula as the other racebooks. The problem as I see it, is to balance the different powers, feats and paragon paths. Since I dont have that much of an experience with D&D.

This is whats happening all the time with some of the swedish roleplaying games back here in the sweden. The community is full of user made content for everyone to help the publishers (or to get that content you always wanted but never comes).

So anyone interested? We could start sharing some ideas, do a small sample and see where it leads to?

Dec 06, 2010 13:08:07 I will be purchasing the Tieflings book, as I have already purchased the Dragonborn book. I don't like how flighty WoTC and Hasbro are about these things. Why not get a complete game line out and then start discontinuing things, instead of halfway developing them and dropping them.
