@XandertheWise I didn't know they had a willow book series. It has to be better than the new show. They made the new Willow a teenage angst series. Many shows going that direction, ruining lots of good ideas.

@Tasuki I have been looking through that book at work. It looks like a fun setting.

@MightyDemon82 Did you read the gaimans Norse mythology? It is also a great read.

@Elodin It's is an interesting setting indeed. I have been running a D&D campaign taking place in Wildemount (the continent right next to Tal' Dorei) and its been alot of fun. I have the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount even but Tal' Dorei is better written and goes in more detail. Not sure if that's because of the publisher or what.

I highly recommended Tal'Dorei Reborn even if you don't play D&D and just enjoy reading about fantasy worlds. Of course if you are a fan of Critical Role or even enjoyed The Legend of Vox Machina having this book is a no brainer.

@Elodin I just read an older book, but I do enjoy Gaimens works so will check it out sometime.

I got a few books for Xmas like the mistborn trilogy as well as some more fantasy/science fiction. So I should be thoroughly entertained this year 😃

@MightyDemon82 ooo mystborn trilogy is fantastic, at least the first 3. The second trilogy I just thought was ok.
@xeofate I will have to order a few. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Tasuki I might have to tell my friend to fire up the laptop and get ready for some zoom d&d. I like the setting.

@Elodin That's an idea lol. My group plays a combination of being at the same table and Discord due to two of my players living in a different state. We have been doing this for about a year now and it's been alot of fun!

@Tasuki nice. Discord is a great idea ill bring it up. I'm trying to coax my daughter into playing with me as DM as her boyfriend does play in his own group already. She is not into it...yet. maybe this setting will do it.

@Elodin It can be a bit over whelming for a new player especially someone who has never played before.
However there are a few introductory adventures that you can use to introduce new players. The Lost Mines of Pandelver is a great one plus I heard the one in the In Essential Kit is another great one too. Hopefully you can find one to get her started in.
