We’re at the start of our campaign (they’ve just gone though Death House) so I’ve yet to dig deep into it but I have been taking a close look at both MandyMod and DragnaCarta.
At first I was preparing to follow MandyMod closely with the Fanes and stuff but it ended up getting a bit overwhelming for me and I realised I didn’t actually need or want all of it. So I’ve dialled back a bit and am just taking bits and pieces of inspiration wherever fits. I’ve liked stuff from both supplements so I’ll probably continue to do so, although I have to be careful with MandyMod because there’s so much homebrew lore in it that I need to remind myself what is module lore and what is fan lore. Nevertheless, there’s a treasure trove of stuff to add which is a really nice change for running a module.
I haven’t actually heard of the interactive tome, marvel missed that but I’ll have to check it out!
I’m not sure it makes sense to make a call on whether this is the right/wrong decision when we know next to nothing about the specific reasons leading to the removal.
Could be legal reasons, could be something in BWF’s contract, or maybe it’s purely for the personal comfort for Ashley (which if so, overrides anything else imo). We do not know.
I’m sad to lose the content too. Especially all the insight from the cast, and the BTS interviews. But I also cannot blame them for removing it, it’s totally within their rights to do so.
