So I’m ready to start reading Memories of Ice but I’m struggling to find anywhere I can buy the paperback version. I got Gardens of the Moon from my local Barns and Noble and Deadhouse Gates from ThriftBooks but both of them only carry mass market versions of Memories of Ice. If anyone knows a place I can get reliable paperbacks I’d love some suggestions
Hi so I am beginning my first revision on a fantasy story and using it as an opportunity to add, clarify or even correct lore and worldbuilding that was created on the spot for the story. In general my story is very intimate, meaning it’s not about kingdoms fighting, gods falling or the world ending. It’s mostly about a man torn between love and revenge.
That being said I love crazy big worlds with deep history and would love to at least hint at some wild things happening or having happened. My hope is this will make the world feel more believable. People talk about places and events that they will never go to or ever see because we talk about things that don’t concern us.
My worry is that the over the top worldbuilding will distract from the small story. I’d love to hear thoughts on if people see it as a good idea to have a deep world despite the small story or if it just needs to be kept simple or if there’s good and bad ways to implement it?
Hi so I’m relatively new to dnd having played it once in high school 5 years ago and I just started a new campaign with some other friends who are also relatively new to the hobby. I’d say the most experienced is our DM and our Barbarian.
Before playing it was pitched as this epic adventure with character driven stories and I was super excited. We’re six or so sessions in and while I feel like the DM is trying to offer us a grand adventure, I feel like the other players at the table are more interested in just fighting bad guy and grabbing loot. There doesn’t seem to be much role playing happening or following narrative.
Now maybe as a new player I’ve miss understood the hobby and it’s just not for me but I’m wondering how I can enjoy more of the story without getting in the way of the other players having their fun in combat and such?
