So just by way of example, one mechanical thing that is new in 5.5 that I think would impact the way we write D&D settings differently...

Huh. I did not know that, but it makes a lot of sense. That explains why I’ve always gotten Nentir Vale vibes from LMoP. Evidently this...

It’s very setting specific. It’s pretty much one and the same as 4e’s implied Points of Light setting, which included a whole lot of...

Yes, and not a new one. I think the block it was set in came out in 2007 or 08.

This is a MtG setting, right?

I don’t have the book either, but I have the same understanding. It’s not a setting, but a location, with only about 12 pages dedicated...

Yeah, I think it’s a bit like 5e’s multiverse. A broad meta-setting that connects different individual worlds and can be used to travel...

I don’t know what this means… I’d say Nentir Vale is another. And it’s another beloved setting, at least by fans of the system it was...

Specifically, how magic and item creation worked. Without those original elements, a 5E born Eberron would look different.

Indeed, but I think that’s kind of fitting for 5e. 5e tends to avoid being committal with its design, intentionally leaving itself open...

I certainly wouldn’t say it was merely an expression of 3e’s mechanics! But it is highly informed by 3e’s mechanics, and that is to its...

But those things arose out of the design constraint of including everything that exists in 3e. Like, the magitech wasn’t just a whim...

The fact that "if it exists in [3.5] D&D, it exists in Eberron" was a major aspect of the setting and certainly contributed to its...
