WotC is not hosting the RPGSports duels. It's been mentioned multiple times already.

I wonder why they went with the less-evocative name "Simic Hybrid" rather than "Krasis," which is what the hybrids are called in the Ravnica cards.

I gave an answer in the comments of the newer Ravnica article: Yes, Ravnica has oceans. These, too have been city-ed over. The second cycle of stories set in Ravnica state that for some reason sinkholes began appearing all across the plane, revealing merfolk and other aquatic creatures and...

I think we're forgetting the fact that Magic's planes are rather small compared to what D&D's conventional description of what a planet is. Though we have no idea how large exactly Ravnica is, it can be assumed that it's much smaller than a standard Earth-sized planet. If I'm not mistaken, the...

Races that Ravnica have that aren't common in other D&D worlds include the Goblin, the Vedalken and the Loxodon. The Vedalken are similar to Eberron's Kalashtar in the sense that they're very psychic and introspective. The Loxodon are basically minotaurs, but with elephant heads. As for magic...

The three novels could help out; they're formatted basically like separate stories with convergences: RAVNICA: CITY OF GUILDS follows Agrus Kos, a human Boros guild officer as he tracks down a series of crimes to a hidden guild (the Dimir guild; Ravnica's citizens don't know it exists). It also...

I guess the cover of the book looks *slightly* misleading, which may be why Ravnica could be confused as being high-tech. It shows a wizard of the Izzet, guild of innovation, whose Parun (Guild founder) is a very ancient dragon. In fact, Ravnica is as fantastic a world as any other previously...

Food is provided predomimantly by the Golgari guild, which basically uses druidic/necromantic ways to dispose and recycle organic stuff. As for travel to and from Ravnica, at least the first three novels explicitly state that it's self-contained; planar travel is at first impossible due to the...

I'm Asian. "Kara-Tur" was beautiful, and I could see that the writers did a lot of respectful research when describing Kara-Tur's geography. I especially loved the details put into the island kingdoms of Bertan (the Forgotten Realms equivalent of where I live); even if they're described as...

I'm currently writing content for Storytellers Vault (the White Wolf version of DMsGuild on DTRPG). I don't write for the money, I just want to get my name out there (though I have to admit I currently have more money coming in from the sole accessory I wrote so far for SV than the two I wrote...

I started playing MtG way back in the "Tempest" block (1997?). Back then the story took place on an artificial Phyrexia-based plane called "Rath" that, long story short, blended with Dominaria, causing that world's first apocalypse.

"Midway" sounds interesting, for obvious reasons. :)

To be fair, Kaladesh is the first plane to have a sort of a "lighter" theme than the ones they've been visiting in the past few years. While other planes were being ruined by aliens (Innistrad, Zendikar, Mirrodin) or being torn from within (Kamigawa, Theros, Ravnica, Tarkir), Kaladesh's main...

Remember when the first Zendikar packs had those ultra-super-rares (Black Lotus et al) hiding in assorted booster boxes? Maybe the D&D Zendikar experience would allow PCs to discover the Teeth of Dahlver-Nar hiding in the Bojuka Bogs or something. :) Other than that, Zendikar is a perfect fit...

I loved writing "Rites of Spring" and how each of the festivals have a (more or less) real-world equivalent. :)
