That was the Moonshae isles. Tethyr, Amn, and Calimshan were part of his world.
Moonshaes were a separate setting made by Niles that Jeff Grubb i think added in there. Funny enough Darkwalker on Moonshae was the 1sr FR novel.
Yes its tons of fun and even better watching them, guiding them, and helping them DM and build encounters.
Of course their going to get away from the traditions I've shown them but at least they'll be educated about it and not fall for the nonsense they say about how the game used to be played...
Dude I used an e instead of an i. We're on that level now? I'll be sure to reprimand my editor.
If magic was IRL thats how it would work in baghdad? Very convincing argument there. I'd love to read a paper on THAT.
Calimshan does not vaguely represent the greenwood calimshan. Did you read...
And? That adventure wasn't this case. Especially since the author said the setting is the "American South". The art for the adventure doesn't even suggest pseudo medieval or Renaissance.
I am, I speak and I work with Highly educated people everyday. I don't consider their work infallible. I would call this Calimshan section misplaced.
I called it a hack job because it took the realm of Calimshan and remade it whole cloth. I'd much rather see a progression than somebody...
I read the entire section. THe golden age of Baghdad didn't have robots. Why is it if someone says they don't like something or thing it was changed poorly its assumed the material wasn't read? Original Calimshan was ALREADY the golden age of Baghdad. That was its point.
Maybe since...
I don't buy or use any of the Magic the Gathering supplements like Ravinica or Strixhaven. I literally just found out what Silvery Barbs were yesterday when a player asked to use it. The exception is Theros I bought for my daughter because she loves Greek Mythology. But Theros was wanting on...
Yes corporate will always chase the money. But D&D specifically is quite loud about rejecting the gamers it catered to.
They tell us having races of alignment is the wrong way to play.
They tell us half races were the wrong way to play.
They tell us dungeon crawling needs to change because...
Yeah I have to agree. I still play 5e mostly because of D&D Beyond and its easier for my daughter and her friends to recognize the tropes. Its a good system but the art direction for 2024 went off the rails.
Seeing how one of the new creators of the bullpen rewrote Calimshan to be a magetech...
Thats the conclusion you drew?
What's hard about this to make sense?
its not hard.
I dont play D&D to explore the American South. Theres better games to do that. Thats far outside the Art identity of D&D.
