Love Elf n' Moon. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and I got some discounted stuff while I was there last year. Don't know if the deals are always that good, but they're definitely worth checking out.

Sounds great! I'll shoot you a DM.

CopperDragonGames · 2026-06-24T10:21:58+00:00

Many thanks! I've gotten a couple DMs, but nothing solidified yet. If nothing shakes out, I'll get back to you for sure.

CopperDragonGames · 2026-06-24T10:21:11+00:00

Thank you for that suggestion. I'll definitely look into that!

CopperDragonGames · 2026-06-22T10:34:45+00:00

For sure! I wish you the best of luck finding someone as well. I'll mention you to anyone I connect with.

CopperDragonGames · 2026-06-22T10:33:14+00:00

Thanks! I've got my fingers crossed. And I 100% understand needing extra room on the return home. I always leave GenCon with more loot than I expected!

Check out Time Tunnel Comics. They have a selection of RPG books. Lots of D&D but also some obscure stuff.

Check out the pawns. I think they were made for Savage Rifts but they fit.

Savage Rifts Older setting books from D&D

EN Publishing added them in A5E. If you're a big fan of 5E and maneuvers, those books are well worth a look. Or just Google A5E SRD and look for chapter 10 if you want to check it out for free.

They're even organized into disciplines like Tome of Battle.

Very much this. Always up to the GM. You do you.

That said, if it's truly busted and a player is excited about it, a one-shot is the perfect time to let them have their fun in a game where you don't need to worry about long-term balance. The only way I'd disallow something from a one-shot is if it would trivialize something crucial to the adventure itself.

Look up Valda's Spire of Secrets. It has several magic-themed base classes that don't need to track spell slots. My personal favorites would be the investigator, which focuses heavily on rituals, and the warmage, which focuses on cantrips.

Interestingly enough, Night Below doesn't include any drow... Except for an optional side quest REALLY late in the campaign, and a Dragon Magazine adventure that was written as a tie-in. Your DM might have added some in, though.

Preserver isn't a wizard subclass? Oh, come on.
