I was exhausted as a Retailer, too. As a DM... well, I gave up and ran other things. So... yeah.

Yeah, that Beyond can currently change very little (can't even do some of the 3PP stuff, heck, IIRC still can't do some Tasha's stuff, and can't do some 2024 stuff either) doesn't mean that it won't be able to do it by the time a supposed 6e would be released. So... DDB is not the reason that a...

Team Caves Bardaby The Beast considered Merrick's words for a long beat before replying, "You would have to buy out my contract." The cultists at the scrying pool began to object, and Siobhan appeared to be angry, but Bardaby held up his hand and continued, "But I'm afraid that it would cost...

As is usual for you, @Steampunkette, that looks really great, and manages to be both mechanically interesting and significantly more evocative of the concept than what we've got. Nice job!

I think there will be quite a bit of pages of fluff, generic or not. I suspect not, but it may include quite a bit of multi-setting fluff, and not be overly focussed on FR.

I'm not going to argue the point here - it seems really very silly - the book is clearly going to be BOTH for generic use-it-how-you-will Arcane stuff, AND as a supplement for the Thay Adventure. I really don't see the point in arguing the granularity of exactly how much of each it will contain.

It's not a big deal either way. The book is, by its nature, meant to be both a generic Arcane Sourcebook, AND support for the follow-up Thay Adventure. I'm not going to get into an argument with you on just-how-generic it is, seeing as I DON'T KNOW. All I was saying was that they can be, and...

You've got some good advice here. I'll just add: Don't flesh it out too deeply - point form or vague ideas is plenty enough to go on, and you can get started faster, and you can let your players be more involved. Not necessarily by inventing stuff themselves, but by asking you questions that you...

I don't see why not. They're not Sword-Coast or the Dalelands, sure, but how much do we know about Arcane Factions in Thay post-1500dr?

I seem to recall that DC Comics has their own Thor, and that he's a Bad Guy, and that he's much closer to mythology than Marvel's.

... I'm using gila monsters for tongue-out emojis for now on!

Probably depends on how cute they are!
