Life has been hectic and chaotic and exhausting, so what do I do? I dive me into some fantasy. In this case: creating a min
i-world to run a DND Next playtest campaign in. Two of my players are opting for magic users – a warlock and a cleric. Since my players are all veteran roleplayers, the idea of using the cookie-cutter options presented in the playtest packet didn’t _quite_ jive with character concepts or ideas. Also, I have never dug the generic gods of published DND worlds – Greyhawk was meh, Faerun had too many, Dragonlance had the best, but the least accessable in some ways, and who knows who they worship now that I stopped reading books…
