One of the things that I like about 1e is actively encouraging players to invent their own spells. Flavorwise, after DM approval, the...

Even those events didn't really change anything. I've been running FR since 1e. When 2e brought the Time of Troubles, I adopted that...

Yes, it is strange to see so many people taking a purist approach that tries to freeze these old kitchen sink settings in amber. In...

This is my take as well. I've got nothing against a new setting. But it would have to do something that none of the others were doing...

Enchant an Item and Permanency are literally 1e PHB spells explicitly for the creation of magic items. The 1e DMG doesn't say it...

Right "Has to include everything in 3e" is functionally the same as "has to include everything in 1e/2e/4e/5e." And as I pointed out...

Sure, but that applied to literally every edition up until that point. Basic gave us Glantri before Eberron was a gleam in anyone's...

In what way was it designed specifically for 3e mechanics?

A setting is just a place where the game happens. It's not created to represent any specific set of rules. I can pull out a 1e setting...

Oh boy, this again. Being literalist about "need" isn't particularly helpful, I don't think. However true this may be, it is completely...
