>worth it?
well the site says pay what you want, so I guess if it's free then why not. But if you just want to tell a fantasy story with your friend then I'm not sure you really need a guidebook for that

>>54727292
Which site?

Regardless of system, editions etc let them only be in English

Well, the most applicable stuff I can think of:

>D1 - Descent into the Depths of the Earth (1)
>D2 - Shrine of the Kuo-Toa (1)
>D3 - Vault of the Drow (1)
>H2 - Mines of Bloodstone (1)
>The Night Below (2)
>Labyrinth of Madness (2)
>Out of the Abyss (5)

Some useful sourcebooks:
>Dungeoneer's Survival Guide (1)
>The Complete Book of Dwarves (2)
>Drow of the Underdark (2)
>Dwarves Deep (2)
>Drizz't Do'Urdan's Guide to the Underdark (2)
>The Illithiad (2)
>Underdark (3)
>Underdark (4)

Aren't there good "underdark" sourcebooks and adventures in non-d&d systems?

>>54721388
Worst I've ever done was two dead characters and seven deaths (and various resurrections, body jumps, magical re-constitutions, and undeath) with a single other character in one campaign.

>>54721388
Are we counting clone bodies with mind uploads as deaths?

And what about hive-mind gestalt organisms?

If the former, 87. If the latter, 1.2 million or so. If neither, 3.

Question: Are you making these characters and letting your players use them, or are they actually making them on their own?

When my players die they're response is usually "No, I didn't even come up with a concept for a second character, no I don't want to make a new character, I'd rather just go and play GTA5" or something along those lines.

As a result, neither I, nor my players, have died.

I would assume a mercy kill, both to end its suffering, and because it would be a drain on resources.

Presumably they'd also give it a soul stone first, so that it won't be consumed by Slaanesh, and to give the Eldar some peace.

Mercykill -> Soulstone -> Wraithguard

Alternatively they would study it to understand ways of their fallen kin and how to undo them. Possibly killing it in the process.

I have one player that is infatuated with me and would listen to me fart into a microphone for 4 hours if I called it a game, two players that I'm convinced hate my game but won't tell me, and an edgy teen that I couldn't give a shit less about whether he has any fun ever.

The power to unify all under the wielder.
Basically Excalibur.

>>54719457
Basically a constant charm monster/person
Even if you have just met, or were previously enemies, you would see the wielder as an old friend. Even monsters of animal or low intelligence are inclined to trust the wielder.

oglaf already did a comic about it

Now before you get thy panties in a bunch about all this exposition I would like to add that it's necessary to hear the context of everything before I even talk about the campaign.


HUMAN
The majority of beings in Zeini are human, and as such, almost all conveniences are built around them. Humans are the most well-rounded and capable of nearly all tasks of all other races, and are generally prone to great ambition. They will rarely receive any form of discrimination, and blend easily into crowds.
HALFLING
As one of the most secluded and isolated races in Zeini, Halflings- whose characteristics resemble shorter and hairier humans- are in stark contrast to most taller counterparts. They largely reside in the Aeroclypse, a massive sprawling underground structure of unknown depth and size on a seaside island called Mage’s Bane. Halflings are known as the last race that still largely uses and creates magic, and almost all spellbooks and spell scrolls originate from the Aeroclypse in some form or another. After centuries of war, a treaty was eventually made, allowing the creation of lower-level, legal spells in Zeini-- but the Aeroclypse still produces many illegal spells, distributed amidst the continent. Halflings are generally seen as paranoid, wiry, sly-- and highly intelligent. However, they are often victim to racism, for their magic-tarnished reputation.
DORISH
One of the many victims of the Tragedy of Wizardry, the Dorish are a race of once-human mutants which used to inhabit a small coastal town on the southern end of Zeini. During the Grand Wizard’s rampage, they were collectively halved in size and muscle mass, and lost the ability to breed with anybody not afflicted by the Dorish curse. By some miracle, they managed to survive and prosper, and grew into what is now classified as their own race. They are weaker in stature, less capable of combat, and considered inferior by some, but retain some of the magic from the spell which made them that way.
>cont

ELF
In the mountains within northern Zeini, infamous, feared and manipulative elven tribes and clans can be found, inhabiting caverns, taiga forests and mountainscapes alike. One of the consequences of the magic ban, elves have slowly devolved from peace-faring spellcasters to people of strength, reduced to the basest and most awful methods to survive in their harsh homeland. They retain their natural beauty and height, but have abandoned magic so far that few still know how to cast.
BEETLE
Originating an unknown amount of time ago in the Valley of Spit, buried within cavern systems and homes dug into the mountains, Beetles remind an observer more of insect than man. They have thick, tough shells, and a short and heavy stature, growing and gaining weight as they age. Beetles once largely kept to themselves-- but that did not stop them being forced out of their residencies after the Tragedy of Wizardry to prevent suspected magic activities. Now, with the caves collapsed and their hovels filled, Beetles find places to exist where they can, despite their alien appearance and speech.
ORCAIL
Some believe the Orcail were delivered unto Zeini by their gods; they are a traditionally faithful people, having been born in the abundant flatlands of the west, where they quickly moved past simple civilization for organized religions. Their capital city of Capita Zeine remains the second-largest on the continent, and Orcail are second in population to humans overall. Many Orcail do stray outside the walls of their faithful settlements and find ambition elsewhere, though they make up a minority, being either criminals of the land they came from or those with a separate- or nonexistent- faith. These bulky, sage creatures are still quite unlike the vicious Orcs of old, whom historians believe were their ascendants.
>cont

KOBOLD
Before the Tragedy of Wizardry, the Grand Wizard granted the human capital city of Ab Platinum with his selection of kobolds, a race previously thought to have been wiped out. The Grand Wizard had imbued these kobolds’ very genetic makeup with a curse that forces them to follow human-made commands to a letter, and disallows them from causing harm or property damage. Kobolds retain cognition, but are utterly bound to the commands of humans around them, making them very effective- and almost always lifetime-bound- slaves. Due to Ab Platinum’s complicated and tedious government restrictions, they do not make up the entire workers’ force, allowing some of the populace to continue working their old jobs.
GOBLIN
Outsiders of Zeini, goblins are most well known as ruthless and effective seafarers; many varieties act as traders to the islands surrounding the continent, as well as transport, while yet others take position as pirates, raiding seaside settlements and camping temporarily on the mainland. They are a bit slow (mentally and physically) and short, but they make up for most weaknesses in numbers. Few can integrate into society effectively, and they are almost always treated as outcasts. Their Orcail and Kobold ancestry, dating back thousands of years, has much to do with this separation-- but even races that dislike Goblins cannot dispute their usefulness as trade partners or mercenaries. As they rarely form any civilized society, their exact numbers are unknown.

Races are done. And if it seems like I copy/pasted all of this I did. Now for the campaign.

Pretty sure that archenemy sets are not supposed to be mixed toghether

>>54718059
Considering the general consensus I've seen has been that original Archenemy was a bit too strong for the archenemy, yet the new set is a bit too weak, so mixing them should provide best results I guess.
Also, Plots was a promo, it didn't come with any of the sealed ones.

Replace elves

>>54716524
if only there were someone there your players could talk to if they got confused about it

>>54716524
Players are capable of understanding the differences between D&D elves, TES elves, 40k elves, and Santa's elves, while accepting that all of them are elves.

As long as you don't lead them to believe that your elves are exactly the same as some other setting's elves, they'll be able to handle it.

I'm pasting in a selection of shorter greentexts from the last thread.

>a complex series of alliances keeps the tea party running smoothly until Priscilla trips and falls in the cake before it can be served

>Dear dairy,
>Today was a good day. Why was it a good day? Princess Priscilla told me I did a good job, that's why! I've not been able to stop smiling all day!
>Okay, so she didn't say it to me specifically; she was addressing the entire Fifth Army Corps, but still!
>We were all lined up on parade, neat blue skirts pressed, rifles oiled and bayonets polished and Priscilla said she was proud of each and every one of us for our brave efforts taking Picnic Hill.
>The colonel even got a pat on the head! So lucky! It just makes me all the more eager to keep going! The Fifth isn't stopping until we've pushed the Daisies into the duckpond!
>Just wait, princess! I'll make you proud!

>From the journal of Private Sunny Skies
>Sunny was killed in action by a strafing run, during the Daisy Federation's counter-push to take back Picnic Hill and secure the commanding position for their artillery
>After returning to service, Private Sunny transferred to the army air corps
>Her given reasons were "To get revenge on those flygirls who think they're such hot shit. Also, the air corps is flashier, so the Princess is bound to notice me then!"

>There was a quiet *pung!* from the planer nearby.
>"How do you like that, you cheesy bastard?! Making it take seven goddamn hours to take like, two feet of trench-! Maybe I'll get myself one of those broken-ass pieces of shit and see how you like it next time, fuckgirl!"
>"Uhm- Yellowrose, maybe you should calm down?"
>"YOU calm down! I've had mud soaking into my panties for an hour and a half and she shot my second-favourite hat!"

>"Shimmersplash, I... what was it that you wanted to be called again?"

>"I... will endeavor to remember. Now, about the dreadful racket outside."
>"The girls are really letting them have it, your highness! We'll be in the azaleas by Tuesday!"
>"I'm sure you're quite capable. But... Jocelyn is quite a lovely woman, and I'm sure her fairies are quite nice if you get to know them. You must have a lot in common. You might discuss the little horseless carriages that all of you seem to like so much?"
>"I will give the order to withdraw if you wish, your highness. I know the girls want to keep you happy, even if it means missing the big attack we have planned."
>"Well, finish by sundown. And find Petalpuff before I go to bed, I find her voice incredibly soothing."

>"So it's settled, then. We all agree to officially state, per terms of the surrender, that Princess Gwyneth's servants put her dress on upside down half the time because they can't tell the difference between her face and her butt."

>Sniffle.
