D&D 5E WotC to increase releases per year?

I mean, I picked up the worst example of this to illustrate my point, but if you play a samurai and are doing a Japanese accent the whole time... well, maybe don't do that.

Agreed

2nd edition style books/box sets with deep, updated lore on the areas (Moonsea, Vilhon Reach, Cormyr, Sembia, the Dalelands,etc.) so many areas that have not received an update in 20+ years and three editions. More monsters, ! I would love to see a 5th Edition boxed set for the Realms and Greyhawk. Depth of lore and memories still have a draw, IMO.

But to Americans and Canadians...an American specifically means somebody from the United States. And more on topic, the Sword Coast is a deeply Canadian fantasy Setting, not American.

Icewind Dale is generally treated as part of the Sword Coast, and that is fantasy-Alaska. And created by a guy from Massachusetts.

The Barbary Coast district of San Francisco was also an inspiration for the Sword Coast, so even though the primary creator was Canadian, I wouldn't say the setting was 100% Canadian.

Yanks is the correct term.

I have been led to believe that calling (say) a Texan by that term might have negative consequences, but I don't have any first hand experience of it.

Just slang here applied to Americans of the USA variety. Don't hear it much now.

I had heard that "Yankee" applied only to the Northern states in the civil war, but I'm a foreigner, what do I know?

 

[embee]

No doubt. Americans, is US.

Indeed.

We even Monroe Doctrined the word "American."

This thread is going more and more off-topic, but:
My favourite chocolate bar is the Yankie Bar - (a Danish bar which was actaully created for American WWII soldiers in Gemany).

It’s not. It’s a Canadian who created a fantasy Europe and then shared it with his friends. Most of the Sword Coast is hardly Canada or the United States though but Icewind Dale is pretty Gold Rush era Alaska. But then nothing wrong with that. It’s fun.
