Walk softly and carry a big stick with sharp, pointy ends.

Something my DM told me several years ago: "If you are eating an elephant, eat it in small bites." As everyone knows, an elephant is the world's largest land-dwelling mammal. You cannot eat it in one sitting. You have to eat it in small bites over a period of time. The same thing goes for...

The players can also go to websites like DM's Guild, Drive Thru RPG and those belonging to well-known homebrewers to find stuff for their own personal settings. When you have all of these online resources available to you, WoTC doesn't really need to a lift a finger and create a new setting...

It's cool. For a while I collected but did not play 4e. Then I came across a path that led me to Pathfinder for a while. ;)

Sort of like 3e's Urban Arcana setting. Shadowrun, but as a magicpunk/Urban Fantasy setting that stars the species from D&D.

While I know you are referring to 5e/5.5e, weren't the Dragonborn native and important to 4e's Points of Light setting?

I've ran into at least one other poster on another thread who didn't like how the Dragonborn were brought into the Forgotten Realms due to the Spellplague. Otoh, I liked how they were brought into the Forgotten Realms this way and set up their own nation of Tymanther. I agree. When I first...

Introducing the Abeiran Dragonborn to the Forgotten Realms IMO was easy because they were relative newcomers to the setting. They had no major impact on the lore and history that had existed in every edition version of the FR prior to their appearance in 4e. However, the introduction of the...

Archipelago, Urban Sprawl, and Points of Light Frontier Or something like the Terras from the Storm Hawks cartoon series where everyone lived on plateau-topped mountains above the clouds. :) Some of which were big enough to support a small ocean (Terra Pacifica) or different biomes. As for...

I am okay with WoTC using an older setting such as the Forgotten Realms for 5e and 5.5e. If WoTC had come out with a new setting for 5e, I also would have been okay about it. I would still be role-playing D&D and having fun while doing so in either case.

Considering that 5.5e isn't too different from 5e, WoTC went half of the way instead of all of the way like they did when they made 4e.

If you were the IP holder of a game and you decided to make a new setting using the newly updated mechanics and options of that game, would you be certain that your new setting would earn you a profit that makes up for the time and effort you just spent making it? Updating/converting an older...

A setting contains the written lore. The PHB, DMG and MM contains the written game mechanics. When you go from one edition to the next, you are going to see more changes to the latter than the former as particular game mechanics are revised, discarded or added in the hopes that everyone will...

Unless he was going by a different name in the M:TG settings. Deities go by many names.

Even when the equipment package is the stuff you choose to create your character with (species, background, class, subclass, etc.)?
