    D&D General Is there an increase in "godless" campaign settings?

    Well, the planes of existance will eventually eat you to add to their power anyway. So if you are LG and are not a follower of the specific brand of LG that's Tyr, you'll end up on Celestia instead of ending up in Tyr's realm specifically. If you end up with Tyr he'll eventually "eat" you to...

    D&D 5E WotC Takes Control of D&D Translations

    The ironic thing here is that DSA was created by the guy who was charged with the very fist german translation of D&D back in the 80s. And yes, there are way too many "similiarities" in certain aspects of both comes to be mere coincidences. Then DSA become the big fish in the small pond and D&D...

    D&D 5E WotC Takes Control of D&D Translations

    If I had to bet I would put my money on DSA. It's way too entrechned since decades. Somehow it just resonates with some primal german way of thinking I guess. I must say if I didn't hate the rules so badly, many of it's setting things (which are almost like an antithesis to what's usually asked...

    D&D 5E WotC Takes Control of D&D Translations

    I am more reserved. Last time WotC did this they ended up killing all translated D&D for several years.

    D&D General Is there an increase in "godless" campaign settings?

    And yet Ilmater is supposed to be the very same. An interloper from the finnish pantheon who chose to move over to the faerunian pantheon around the same time Mielikki did. Loviatar also moved over, but mostly to continue a feud with Mielikki and less for the reasons that Ilmater and Mielikki...

    D&D General Is there an increase in "godless" campaign settings?

    Actually that's not true. If you were faithful enough you don't even make it to Kelemvor's court, because you'll be picked up by collectors send by your deity way before that. Only if you were not faithful enough you eventually stand before Kelemvor to be judged (possibly be send to the...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    yes, that's whx they opened up for the next group in line, as the current group was a done as could be reasonably hoped for. Simply not enough left to justify holding up the next group in line anymore. In my wider family everybody who wanted to by now has at very least a date, majority have at...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    As of the 18th we're at 50.1/29.6 and it's exactly known who each of those people is. The RKI monitors and publishes daily. Group 3 was opened start of May because the number of group 2 still un-vaccinated was too neglible to justify holding back group 3. It's now free for all since two weeks...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Find that hard to believe. We're at >50% with 1st dose and ~26% already fully done. If there's no doctor there should be a central vaccination centre within 100km We entered unrestricted access last week because there not even enough group 3 left without that they justify to continue going by...

    D&D 5E Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    Actually WoW was very bad for the PC games market at it's beginning and a great many WoW players hardly bought anything else when WoW was an endless drain of time and money

    What's an astronaut?

    People, you are neglecting the really important question: If one day a marine is on such a flight, would he then become a space marine?

    WotC New D&D Studio blog is up!

    Assuming domains actually need or have an ecosystem. They're simulations that run solely to torment the resident dark lord and work solely because a wizard the dark powers did it. How does the poor hamlet at the edge of the dark woods teeming with more (supernatural) predators than it should...

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    Actually that's not a certainty. It's certainly not going back any time soon, but it may very well go back a couple of years down the line. The same wind of change that brought about this changes can (and often have) changed direction and such things ebb and flow. Who knows when the new fad...

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    That's what I meant with whether the reproduction part is the important thing. Because fiends do have cities, cultures, craftsmen, artists etc. Basically they meet all the criteria except for making babies (and some even do this sometimes)

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    Pre-4e the gnoll's origin was unknown even to the gnolls themselves. None of their previous pantheon actually claimed to be their creator deity. That helped Yeenoghu to lure the gnolls away from their gods, who then withered and died save for a few leftovers desperately hanging to the last...

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    Actually 4e started the gnolls are demons or rather an accidental by product of Yeenoghu's feedings on the material plane lore.

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    Does it depend on the sexual reproduction? Because otherwise it's just as true for demons and devils

    D&D 5E Are humanoid mono-cultures being replaced with the Rule of Three?

    Wasn't 4e the edition that started the "they're the demonic spawn of Yeenoghu" nonesense wheres up to then one of their main points was that Yeenoghu was not their creator and just stole them from their original pantheon?

    D&D 5E New Drow cultures coming in Starlight Enclave, the Lorendrow and the Aevendrow

    Then the current changes would be the second time. Because 5e walked back from 4e deliberately right into the "ugliness" they are now trying to walk back from. 5e dialed back big time on decades of developement on the "always evil races" to stamp out any nuances and put them firmly back into...
