As of this document, there are three different versions of the goliath race in play. I hope nobody who bought the Mordenkanien book actually believed they would be the final compatible with oned&d versions - as promised. I for one can't wait for that moment where I have to explain to a new...

In my headcanon, Tiamat was always the lesser copy of Takhisis. It seems like the god would be the original and the demon-dragon the echo.

What qualifies as a good enough reason? I mean orcs are stated as not existing on all worlds in the PH. That is a good enough reason.

Quite frankly, I didn't like the putting dragonborn in Eberron. The resistance to orcs in dragonlance is the same reason I don't want Jedi in faerun. It's a retcon that undermines decades of there being no orcs there. It changes Canon for no reason except to make all places feel the same. It's...

This is not how I read it, but I think this might just be a difference of approach. Technically they've always been a build system but a lot of players just pick from available options rather that make a new one. So I guess to me, the semiotics of putting the stat increases in the stat block...

I wasn't so much concerned with it being g underpowered as all fighters being ex soldiers or gladiators or whatever rather than something interesting like Noble or acolyte.

If it's free floating, why have different specific backgrounds give different specific stats? That takes away from the 'build it yourself' reading of those rules. The ua has specific stat increases for each background and that's what players will see/choose. Why do that unless you want people to...

Anyone else finding that stats in background leads to people picking optimal background for class, therefore being a bit uniform in decisions about characters? I fed this back as I can see it making new characters less diverse.

To each their own but I think we can reveal things about humanity by watching what happens when we remove it. Is it possible for a monster to have feelings? Is flawed idealism dangerous or still useful? If the sabbat as sort of right aboutnwhat is going on, how can they enact meaningful change...

Counterpoint: those of us who used to play sabbat games have been severely undeserved. And they've fundamentally changed old lore and terminology therefore invalidated years of lore. The word antitribu means something so fundamentally different that I would have to change 20+ years of continuity...

Given that warforged were originally empowered by by the trapped combined souls of fey and now they are all multiple personality suffering neurotic, maybe I can fit 'the sky net' as a name for the the thing keeping the souls from getting home....

I used gnomes as a nation where science went too far and they became a fascist culture for a while, using their technology to attack and conquer. When they failed and their nation collapsed, they now live in the junkyard ruins of their failure, surrounded by the now sentient warforged.

If all doors lead to the same place, why have three doors? If you had one, the story would.move quicker and be more honest. The three doors aren't about creating a meaningful choice there. They are about covering something up. And why are you covering it up? Becuase you know that this is a...

I think they sorta did this - we had sword Coast, then some adventurers set there, then one in Chult, Waterdeep, Baldurs gate, icewind Dale, the underdark and so forth.

To be honest it's not the accusations about pay that troubled me. It was the one about him driving a defenceless woman out into the woods with no way back under the pretence if business then propositioning her for s*x in a place she couldn't escape. So saying 'most are baseless but not saying...
