I doubt the setting will be twisted. It's more a case of "for those of you who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you like." It's a DMG product so it doesn't need mass market appeal, it can afford to be niche.

I didn't want to suggest that, since humans are capable of getting stuff wrong all by themselves, but yes, the image is full of impossibilities. As a not-very-good human artist aware of their own limitations, I would never have attempted such a complex illustration in the first place.

That's still wrong. When she raises the bow to vertical her hand holding the arrow will be upside down.

Pretty sure the term predates Paizo by a long way. Probably predates D&D too.

Larger size allows you to control more tiles.

A curious thing, I think I have seen all of these archetypes in Owlcat's Pathfinder Wrath of the Rightious CRPG!

I'm just catching up on this, starting at the beginning, so other people will likely have made the same points as me. So sorry for any repetition. The timescale makes the Ravenloft book just possible, but these don't look like last minute revisions to me. I would rate that as highly unlikely...

They aren’t exactly doing nothing - the new DMG has a much higher page count dedicated to teaching players how to create their own settings. This isn’t just a change of emphasis, it reflects the changing player base. As it’s got much larger it’s become far more diverse. It isn’t just hardcore...

It’s not a case of what they “thought”. It was a case of the commercial reality being different. At that time they needed a new setting because their attempt to revive Greyhawk had flopped and the game was moribund. They needed a competition because with bare bones staff they didn’t have the...

Until you read it and decide it’s not the setting you wanted. Also see: Radiant Citadel. Why not? Because it’s expensive and WotC have no commercial need for any new settings.

It's not a case of knowing how to hold a bow, it's just a case of knowing which way wrists rotate when you move. The more you look at that image the more obviously wrong you realise it is. Maybe the book is delayed three months so they can take some anatomy lessons? Why has the horse on the...

It's not intelligence that poses the existential threat, it's the lack of it.

Everyday Heroes?

I should have posted this yesterday, but Blue Oyster Cult where originally known as Blistering Blue Barnacles.

That doesn’t mean they won’t drive you insane faster than the Necronomicon. All human lies, propaganda and delusions lumped together in one handy little package.
