The gods? A portal to the Plane of Water?

After 3E, Call of Cthulu d20.

DCC is a weird Grey area, so I didn't mention it in either thread: it has d20 OGL DNA so it is not not D&D, but it also isn't really a D&D retroclone.

It was created by a meteor shower creating a well up of water from deep below. Hence Fallen Stars Thay is on a highly elevated plate, sl the way that looks on some prior maps may have given you thst impression visually. Edited to add Thaymount as depicted in 3E:

OK, I had been wondering if the Dungeon Dudes new Daggerheart Kickstarter would a fourth entry on this list for them...but it looks like the will be lucky to top out at $600,000 for the Daggerheart version of Drakkenheim.

Makes for a quick and dirty night of gaming, since each is enough to run a full one-shot on zero prep work. And again, the DMG has step by step guides on how to do prep work with the mini-Advebture as a seed to make something bespoke.

Yet arguing over that math takes up a lot of online discussion.

Yeah, certainly bot impossible that was part of the soup.

The DMG mini-Advebtures are easy to run with no prep at all. The Encoutner math and maps are arguably the hard part, the other hooks arr easier to improvise.

I seriously doubt it, because yhe Moonshae Isles were not part of Greenwood's Forgotten Realms: they were grafted in from a cancelled TSR UK Settijg, and were created by Douglas Niles. Douglas Noles was from Southeastern Eisconsin, sonit is more likely named after Whitefish Bay n Lake Michigan...

I am sure you are right, thank you. Well, I mean, he was a published author already and I am sure would have had a solid career...but delivering on Wheel of Time meant he inherited Jordan's fandom, to the extent that Stormlight Archives follows the same sales patterns held by Wheel of Time...

Because they were trying to negotiate representation for people from across multiple edutions: most FR players had not embraced the Spellplague, so no floating islands.

But then they would require more prep work, these are puck up and go.

I mean, it is what itbis: I would note that longer books are not necessarily "unedited", because again, length is a virtue and books are not inherently improved by beong shortened. The Wheel of Time starts with some Tolkienian elements, but overall a closer comparison would be Frank Herbert or...
