    D&D 5E (2024) Just Because a location is not on the Atlas of Faerun doesn't mean its gone.

    It was created by a meteor shower creating a well up of water from deep below. Hence Fallen Stars Thay is on a highly elevated plate, sl the way that looks on some prior maps may have given you thst impression visually. Edited to add Thaymount as depicted in 3E:

    OK, I had been wondering if the Dungeon Dudes new Daggerheart Kickstarter would a fourth entry on this list for them...but it looks like the will be lucky to top out at $600,000 for the Daggerheart version of Drakkenheim.

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    Makes for a quick and dirty night of gaming, since each is enough to run a full one-shot on zero prep work. And again, the DMG has step by step guides on how to do prep work with the mini-Advebture as a seed to make something bespoke.

    Yet arguing over that math takes up a lot of online discussion.

    The DMG mini-Advebtures are easy to run with no prep at all. The Encoutner math and maps are arguably the hard part, the other hooks arr easier to improvise.

    D&D General Ed Greenwood and the SS Edmund Fitzgerald - A theory

    I seriously doubt it, because yhe Moonshae Isles were not part of Greenwood's Forgotten Realms: they were grafted in from a cancelled TSR UK Settijg, and were created by Douglas Niles. Douglas Noles was from Southeastern Eisconsin, sonit is more likely named after Whitefish Bay n Lake Michigan...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I am sure you are right, thank you. Well, I mean, he was a published author already and I am sure would have had a solid career...but delivering on Wheel of Time meant he inherited Jordan's fandom, to the extent that Stormlight Archives follows the same sales patterns held by Wheel of Time...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    Because they were trying to negotiate representation for people from across multiple edutions: most FR players had not embraced the Spellplague, so no floating islands.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I mean, it is what itbis: I would note that longer books are not necessarily "unedited", because again, length is a virtue and books are not inherently improved by beong shortened. The Wheel of Time starts with some Tolkienian elements, but overall a closer comparison would be Frank Herbert or...

    Funko Pop! in Trouble

    The thing about Magic is that they do innovate new game pieces that add more toa. Game: FunkoPops are cute, but they only take up space as decoration. Also, Magic mostly makes their moneybfrom casual players, primarily buying at big box or drug stores...

    D&D General Is the SCAG Still Useful?

    And this is actually still pretty usable, since it covers a lot of specific areas that are not addressed by the new more big picture book, other than Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate and the Moonshae Isles specifically.
