Not sure if it counts as a game or a setting (both?), but Wonderland for JAGS is one of my favorites. Just reading through the book with too open a mind can put a strain on one's sanity o.O

Bear in mind that such critters as Drow, Lolth and kuo-toa didn't debut or premiere with Fiend Folio, but were merely collected into the volume after first appearing in adventure modules of the late 70s. Heck, even the original Monster Manual was just a collection of creatures that already...

I really want this and am painfully curious as to what modules they plan to do next!

You can always tell a world is poorly conceived when it has to alter itself to conform or new or "updated" rules. A good, solid world can take any rule-set and make it conform to the setting, not the other way around. Just imagine Conan's Hyborea without assassins or demons! HA! How about...

The Greyhawk Supplement introduced Druid as a "monster" (NPC), with the inherent use as a PC. This was made official in Eldritch Wizardry with rules for player character Druids.

If you peruse http://odd74.proboards.com/ you can find TONS of views and advice on how this version of the game is best played. Even if you don't play it often, the forums can be quite an eye-opener of experience and history.

Correct order puts Dexterity between Constitution and Charisma. Remember, Thieves are a class from a supplement, Dexterity doesn't really matter to each character as much as Constitution does ;)

End of the second red paragraph.

Ugh, FINE: The Dalelands Adventurer's Guide, complete with the lost elven city of Greyhawk nestled deep in the Valley of the Mage (run by a Red Wizard lich of course). But in slightly more seriousness: Man, you'd think with all the Greyhawk swiping they do for 'name recognition' that they'd...

HA! murquhart72 BUUURRR-- hey wait :(

HA! WotC BUUURRRNNN!!!

Ah screw this, I'm gonna go make my own Tomb of Acererak, WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!

Of course, my answer was an analogy and the issue with implications are they are subjective. Fact is, if you aren't stating a particular setting, WotC (and by extension, any reasonable person playing 5E) can safely assume you're in the Forgotten Realms/Sword Coast. It's how they've modeled the...

Have they announced the Central Flanaess Adventurer's Guide yet? SO looking forward to that book!

I saw the DMG and, after reading the cover description, spent far too long looking for a jeweled skull in the picture. Now it appears there are TWO Acereraks: a sneaky, devious demi lich in Greyhawk and a wet behind the ears uber lich in Faerun. I also have characters in different worlds that...

Saying the Earth is flat doesn't make it any less round. By definition (a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer) it is factually the default setting, regardless how WotC spins it.

Couldn't be better said, I love this idea and wish WotC would listen. D&D was always meant to be a GENERIC fantasy adventure game, not a showcase for any particular novel series or writer/creator.

Booyeah! Hear hear! Huzzah! In other words, I agree whole-heartedly :D

I'll have you know I'm one of the oldest of those losers Mate! Gary's work will never be irrelevant to me, but WotC? Just a name-drop for them. I loved the Realms when they first came out, but now it's like a favorite song that's been played to death. Not only has it absorbed Kara-Tur, but now...

But of course we all know that WotC doesn't have a "default setting" so there's NO WAY Acererak would EVER be caught undead in the Forgotten Realms. Why, that would be proof beyond any reasonable doubt that the Forgotten Realms IS; as a cold, hard, provable fact, THE default D&D setting, once...
