A sentient version of Chaos Beasts would have been better, but ones that could be shaped and controlled with enough will power like Limbo itself.

I do like this idea... "Yoink"

My players ran into a slaad. They saw it in the distance, on a cliff edge, and it was painting something on an easel.

When they got closer, they could see it was painting them watching it paint them, in greater detail then it could have seen from the distance. And some of the characters had weird or ominous changes, like the void touched wizard had a starry outline. They also did not like the fact that the paladin's head was painted as if it was on fire and half burnt.

They tried to buy the painting. The slaad said "No thanks, I don't care for some, I already have any" and disappeared. They left the painting on the cliff edge as they were scared to touch it.

Well played, indeed.

Well yeah cause you can't be pleased, by your many posts in the recent years.

You hate any changes that are made, and despite any breaks with tradition.

Many products on DMsGuild please me, and allowing these great 3pps to publish such content is the only thing of value to me that WotC has done for a good while at this point.

Also, a little unnecessarily personal there.

That assumes that a significant Adventure is unwelcome to most users, which doesn’t seem apparent to me.

Personally, as a player, I think an Adventure is the best way to introduce a setting. I’m not a DM, I’m not going to read a 120+ page setting guide. No thank you!

I have heard WotC staff say as much.

"The chaos creatures from the universe of chaos have a rigid color-coded hierarchy" is a tough one to defend.

I suspect it's because slaadi weren't meant to be from Limbo, but were just a cool monster originally.

Didn’t one of the books have a table to customize demons IIRC? They should have put that in the MM for slaadi

Mordenkainen's Rome of Foes, for sure.

are you as a player reading the adventure? I would assume that players get introduced to a setting through playing an adventure either way, whether the DM created it themselves based on a setting guide, or because they play a WotC published adventure.

But are players supposed to buying this, or DMs? If it's meant for DMs, then we're back to that, "it's not for you" claim people keep making to me.

I don't really care  when they provide the explanation, as long as they do. Consistency matters to me.

But that explanation is not consistent is it?
