Greetings, Patrons!

Someone mentioned that there's no sense of what humanoids were doing during the Age of Demons. This is because they were largely at the mercy of the overlords, with civilizations rising only to be wiped from existence. But, it got me thinking... what if you found an artifact and wanted to attribute it to a forgotten civilization from the Age of Demons? My latest article provides a set of tables you can use to create your own primeval civilization on the spur of the moment. 

I like tables like this, but not everyone does. Let me know if you enjoy the article and would like to see more like this, or if it's not for you. 

Meanwhile, sourcebook opinions decisively won the AMA topic poll, so that's what I'll be talking about on Saturday the 22nd at 9 AM Pacific Time. While I'll answer questions on any books, I'd like to know which people are most interested in... in part so I can refresh my memory on the books you're most curious about. Pick as many as you want, and I'll be on the Threshold Discord on Saturday... and again, this SHOULD be recorded for all of you who can't make it.

Is Five Nations going to be an option as well? That book gets talked about a lot

Herb Helzer

In my (now many years ago) Eberron, Forge of War was a background text for two of the PCs and certain foundation events underpinning the campaign or used during the campaign (like the fate of the other three Brelish floating fortresses, the Battle of Cairn Hill, the Warforged Raptor, etc.). Keith, did you object more to the crunch or the fluff of that sourcebook? [Maybe I should have voted for your kanon take on The Last War as history.]

If you want my thoughts on FIVE NATIONS, like this comment!

I don't tend to find random tables as useful or inspiring as a set of more concrete examples, but I'd never turn one down if you find them easy to make! I do have to admit that a multi-column random table gets the idea of "There were countless numbers of these, but none of them are really that important unless you need them to be for your story" really well.

That feel when you want to know about all of these but know that's not an option.

I love the rollable tables. I already got to use the Pub Specials one in my weekly game! (and the Untold History table in Exploring is going to end up being a major influence on my current campaign)
