4 for 4 on death’s door. The god slaying unicorn is on the rampage!

Why I like the Raven Queen:

She has a distinct agenda, which does not make her easily-classifiable on the good-evil axis. It’s easy to see her as either an ally or an adversary, depending on circumstances and player choices.

She’s been yo-yoing like crazy the whole time. She easily must be the most upvoted and most downvoted in this thread.

She is polarizing. Some love her and some hate her. The yo-yo doesn’t surprise me.

I suspect opinions on her are divided between "One of the only, or possibly THE only, cool and distinct new god from 4E" and "bleh, that played-out, overused god from 4E".

I usually don't really even remember from which editions which gods are from, but the Raven Queen I do remember, as she was very cool new god. She reminds me how historical creepy death-associated goddesses such as Hel and Morrigan (both unjustly murdered in the previous rounds. ) And to me that archetype is very compelling,* but like I observed earlier, it also seems to be one that for some reason a lot of people can't stand.

* I basically never use official D&D gods in my homebrew settings, but I always have a goddess similar to the Raven Queen, sometimes even with that title. Though of course that is not just channelling the Dawn War deity, but the ancient mythological archetype.

Can we just focus down the Platinum Dragon? Leave him to rot on Krynn.

Take your dragon hate somewhere else. That’s the only reason I’m still in this thing. That and I do have a job to do!

One rerun at a time, Grim.

I’m curious how many more votes for/against the Raven Queen has received to end up in exactly the same place as Sehanine.

Many more. Sehanine was almost a dark horse candidate in this survivor thread; she mostly just didn't get much attention. Meanwhile TRQ bounced from single digits to low 20s repeatedly. Lotta people seem to have a defined opinion of her already, whereas I think the feelings toward Sehanine are overall more muted.
