You can detail Ur Draxa as much as you want, so Tithian. They are arements that existed but were revealed later. But you could also fix this by setting the timeline to 100 years before the PP instead of later and leave all PP material out (or to a separate supplement). It's like writing a...

Could work, but would be expensive. (honestly, that would be my favourite format for any setting)

I don't remember many good messages from the movies nevertheless. And I still prefer that not all settings must be the ones where you must play the heroes (unless you want to). Darksun and Vampire are perfect for that.

Exactly, my point is just to reset the setting to year -1 and let it there. After all, we never really played the original setting. the very first adventure basically destroyed one of the foundations of the setting itself. A millennium old superpowerful being killed in one stroke. It's like...

I don't remember that 2E book. the only one that comes to mind is 3E Ravenloft by Sword & Rorcery that put a similar rating to every domain, but values of course don't match with Alternity's, because there you only ranged from no tech to Victorian.

Why do many people want a timeline advance just to, in the end, make a "reboot" of the old first box setting? this is what I don't get. Why not simply set it the "day before" Kalak's fall like the original box, plus maybe other elements included later but that could fit in any time line and let...

I'd wish to agree based on my (limited) experience in online discussion lately that's not the same zeitgeist I'm sniffing. DS is literarly stuffed with some of the currencly most sensitive topics, from racial to cultural appropriation. I always hope extremist stances are the minority, but they...

I'd dare to say that it's continued success is tightly bound to that of the novels, videogames and other "ancillary" material, plus the fact that it's already a cauldron for everything but the kitchen sink, so adding your own material is easy. Dragonlance had their share of high success novels...

I really loved the Alternity system at the time. True, expecially on hindsight, it had many mechanical shortcomings, and IMHO it would have much benefited and deserved a second edition. That said I carried over the PL ratings to my D&D games as a world building balancing factor. I like a...

And that's exactly why it works as a default setting for D&D. You can fit everything there. Dark Sun and Planescape are much more interesting IMHO and my favourite, but the value of FR can not be understimated.

More or less agree with everything. While I'd still prefer the setting to be based on pre Kalak's death status quo, while the whole Prism Penthad could be adapted in an adventure path or something. More or less agree with everything. While I'd still prefer the setting to be based on pre...

And I agree, but since the current feelings I'm afraid WotC would much rather avoid the issues altogether.

Dark Sun is my favourite 2E setting and I'd love to see it in 5E, but I think it would be considered too problematic nowadays. It's literally based on mature themes that would make a contemporary political correctness consultant jump on his chair. Slavery. Abuse. Racism. Plus, mechanically, is...

I haven't read the 3.5 sourcebooks but I have read ttje compiled War od the Lance adventures and I think it's the best adaptation of the saga for playing and DMing. I have the 1E modules, but I have to say, maybe I got ould or spoiled by new standard of adventure presentation, rereading them I...

Honestly I think the base racial stats work well as they are. They are "all in all starting packages" for someone who just wants to play the archetipycal elf or dragongorn or whatever, with allthe cons and pros of that choice. If you want to have a really customizable character, you'd be...

Thanks all

Thank you. Is there a list or catalog somewhere that you know of?

Around 2013 WotC published a series of book reprints, distinguished by the "faux leather" cover, which I'm sure includes the 3 core rulebooks plus Unearthed Arcana, a collection of the A adventures and S adventures. Is there also a collection of the G-D-Q adventures? Are there any other volumes...

this is also my impression. OA looks like a "taste a little bit of everything" type of a book, with a strong tie to Japanese maybe just because the authors knew the sources better or had better access to source material or it just was more popular at the time (IIRC the boom of ninja in comics...

There's unfortunately a third option. What if the artist wanted EXACTLY traw a panda with a katana. That was his intention all the time. He knew pandas are not japanese, but, hey, he loves pandas and katana and had the occasion to draw them. In this completely hypothetical situation, the...
