As we approach the end of EN5ider's second year and start looking forward to year 3 (how time has passed!), we'd like to take stock and consult you about the types of articles we produce. If you have a spare moment, please visit the link and vote on the poll (you can select multiple options). Thank you!

Also, let's remember a lot of this is for a game and is based more upon archetypes and legends - not the real Asia for eg. Just like 'typical' D&D is not your normal Europe! Not sure why people get so caught up on that. Who cares if inspiration came from Wikipedia.

2016-12-07 06:32:05 +0000 UTCMost people who write articles based upon 'Europe' are usually not educated or immersed either, but I can see where James is going with this. Mind you: I am from Australia. Might be enough to get an ancient Australian article over the line? (Even though I research more on native American people/First People for eg).

2016-12-07 06:30:21 +0000 UTCCouldn't agree more Chris Hall. Cultural & Geographical books from 3e were my favs. (And right back to African adventures articles in Dragon). I have often mentioned this in forums. I'd like to see some of these too. I did do dwarven races based on African & Oriental legends, but don't think there was room for the cultural 'side-boxes' and abilities were actually modified to make them not like those, so I am not sure EN5ider is keen on 'cultural' articles. Probably in name of stereotyping and sensitivities...but if things are based upon 'legends & myth' I am not sure where the line is. In any case I like those articles too Chris.

2016-11-02 17:29:27 +0000 UTCI would really like to see some articles about running D&D in non-Eurocentric settings. For example, an article for each continent detailing a few iconic animals, myths, monsters, and weapons. I know that East-Asia has already had a lot of attention here (e.g. the "Oriental Adventures" book), but I've not seen much D&D content for Africa, Australia, or the Americas, and these places have a lot of wonderful myth and legend that would be perfect for a D&D adventure.
