Well, it is a towering mountain range, with peaks up to 30,000 feet tall. I think the only real settlement is the Spelljammer port near the middle.

Here's a detailed map of Kara-Tur, including the eastern edges of Faerun: Kara-Tur has a huge buffer region from the Himalaya-like Yehimal in the south to the Quoya Desert and the Hordelands to the north. Khazari and Ra-Khati are like the Silk Road towns in the Tarim Basin, after which you...

I mean, technically, Hepmonaland isn't part of the Flanaess....

Tiefling origins are completely obvious from a lore standpoint (plus, they can come from the Great Kingdom as well), but even when presented with this logical, lore-friendly explanation, some of the most hardline Greyhawk grognards simply refuse to accept it. Once, long ago, when a "tieflings in...

He wasn't a PC, just a full-on DMPC! "Hey, while you guys were exploring the dragon lair, some random person back in town just one-shot the dragon."

As a fan of an Ohio team that hates the Ravens (although not the team that has reason to really hate the Ravens), I can admit that such hatred exists. And I can also admit that it's totally irrational. It's just a game, after all. Which is true both for the NFL and D&D.

Yeah, that was really a dropped ball there, as it creates some really interesting possibilities. You could have three sets of lycanthropes, each tied to an individual moon (and thus would tend to be good, neutral, and evil). Or just go whole hog and have them turn at a time when each moon is...

I liked the earlier part of the thread, where there were a lot of different, nuanced posts on a full spectrum of opinion. Now we've reached the terminal portion of the thread, which, like most of others of its length, is reduced to "I hate the idea and cannot be assuaged by any argument, and...

The devil ones would mostly come from the Great Kingdom, which has historically been infamous for devil-human pairings. The yugoloth ones wouldn't have a specific origin, but yugoloths are sneaky like that.

We've seen silver too.

The Zakhara campaign guide on the DMs Guild is very well done, and was done with the help of people from the Arab world to ensure it had proper regional flavor and to vet it for unintentional insensitivity. Also, it's a pretty good read!

Actually, Maztica did get put on its own world during 4e, but it was specifically stated to have returned in SCAG. Kara-tur was mentioned as well in that book. But the thing is, it's been over 100 in-setting years, with two giant cataclysms, since they've been detailed. Maztica may indeed now...

You don't need instructions to use it as a toolkit - you would just do so! One chapter is just a description of the various locations of the North with adventure hooks, six chapters are lairs for each of the classic giants, and one is a blue dragon lair, all of which can be pulled out basically...

I hated this, and remarked upon it each time it happened. And in the end, when there was little that could be argued that the setting was "ruined", they moaners had no choice to be upset it didn't contain basically all the information from the entire original 2e Planescape line. Which would have...

Wouldn't it be funny if the Greyhawk info was just a reprint of the original folio? I mean, it won't be. But it would be funny.

The of the points is to celebrate and revisit exciting places characters may have gone before. It's sort of like complaining about the anniversary of a tv series having too many old favorites show back up.

"MORDENKAINEN'S ALIVE?!?!?" Actually, if you remove some of the more problematic bits concerning Ming, Flash Gordon would make an awesome Spelljammer campaign.

My Greyhawk is nothing but Aarakocra. Let's really put the "hawk" into Greyhawk!

I got plenty of screenshots of the process as I did it, so it will be the first part of the Curse of the Azure Bonds section once I start that game in earnest here in a bit.
