I like lists. I enjoy researching things and compiling that information into series of lists. Lists can be your friend. Lists are very helpful, especially for Tapletop RPGs.
Having recently returning to Dungeon Mastering after a long hiatus, I discovered a need for certain references for this new "5th Edition" that did not yet exist (at least not that my limited Google-Fu could find). Since we're starting a new Campaign, and creating new Characters, where's a better place to start than Character Creation?
I spent a few days pouring over all of the Official D&D 5e hardcovers, as well as a few other items, and created a Complete (I think...) List of ALL Official D&D 5e Playable Races, Classes (including sub-classes), and Backgrounds, including Book & Page References to any relevant information. I like making lists, so expect a bunch more reference stuff coming soon... D&D 5e, Lovecraft, CoC, to start...
As always, if you find anything missing or incorrect, please let me know and I'll research and update as necessary. And if you find any of my lists helpful, please share and comment, we'd love to hear what you have to say.
