Or because, nowadays, the topic is less taboo and more people are willing to speak up about the issues they are experiencing. Some people find catharsis in talking about their issues and sometimes talking about their issues can help other people talk about their issues or offer empathetic...

Not so, unfortunately, where the Elven deities mostly appear as members of the Seldarine or Dark Seldarine. She does make an appearance in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, page 21, in the Prime Deities section, where she is listed with the Provinces (cooler way of saying portfolios) of death...

To then also make sweeping generalisations about the members of our community based on personal anecdotes is unfair, in my view, as is making unfounded assumptions based on sweeping generalisations. Unless you actually talk to people you'll have no idea what their personal worries are, some...

I think perspective in this is key, and I don't think the comparison is fitting, one is completely extremist, Kwan at least seems to want to do something appropriate for players and DMs.

Removing it outright might seem too far, but Kwan et al should absolutely have the right to say their piece :) and advocate what they'd like based on their discussion points.

No worries! A miswording on my part, they seem to fall under an early version of something like a cultural consultant, whatever input they may have had, it's appreciated that Cook did go to the trouble of involving them. Hopefully they were able to give the manuscript a once over :), but the...

But isn't also calling for something also an act of free speech in itself? While calling for removal can be seen as extreme, the act itself seems to be free speech, as they're articulating their own opinions.

I'd definitely love to play in something like this! Since you've mentioned the mind flayers wanting dominance in EVERY TIME, what if they do seek to conquer different and all timelines? That might also give you an excuse to introduce different settings into the mix as well, and possibly even...

I think one of the points is that those who see Kwan et al's call for the removal of OA as censorship, that they themselves can appear in their discussion points to censure Kwan et al's access to free speech. I personally wouldn't go so far as to remove OA from the shelves, especially since...

I feel like we haven't talked much about the best part of this :)

That was such a gloriously amazing, absurdly silly trainwreck lol, we need more of it!

Yes! Really awesome!

Y'know, along with any book announcements, I'd love it if there might be any announcements of further collaborative games. All of the games that were played over DNDLive 2020 were amazing, if they could continue them that'd be excellent as! :)

That'd be amazing! :) I've been listening to Chris Perkin's first D&DLive game (really missed his DMing), and they're in a situation where they're communicating, and more, with a I absolutely love the cold (can't stand even warm weather), absolutely love horror, absolutely love the works of...

Hopefully there might be shoggoths in the Icewall! If they're using At the Mountains of Madness as inspiration, it'll also give me an excuse to use the amazing Sandy Petersens' Cthulhu Mythos for 5e :)

They're awesome as a concept! :) It's the other connotations with conquest, domination, and subjugation that's very unfortunate. Which is why Eberron: Rising from the Last War is so excellent in its concept, design, and lore of its hobgoblins. It's a different take, and such an awesome take. As...

Tangentially, in one of the videos (Creating Icewind Dale, on D&D Beyond), Chris Perkins was saying the co-authors conspired amongst themselves to place as many mountain goat references in the book as possible, in as many places and so long as they made sense lol.
