Then we had Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron and Morgrave Miscellany, both of which I’ve covered here in Tribality in multi-part articles. WGTE was the trial balloon for fan interest in a physical 5e Eberron setting book. “Adamantine Best Seller” is, um, real good news, vis-à-vis trial balloons. UA: Races of Eberron […]

They’re advertising on Tribality, but I don’t believe that has affected what I want to say about them in this review. Overview The short version of what goes on here is that it’s a very dolled-up setting-and-campaign wiki. I’ve been storing and presenting tabletop campaigns in wikis since 2005 or so, though mostly the super minimalist PBWiki/PBWorks. This is the […]

This article mostly assumes that the reader is a DM looking for a new and unusual campaign concept.
