How I would play this is that the Kingpriest’s apotheosis was succeeding and he was on the cusp of becoming the god of self-righteousness, who would lead all of Krynn right to Baator under the delusion they were doing Celestia’s work. By the time the Soth idea failed, the Kingpriest was simply...

Another high fantasy fan here. Whatever the h*ck Omori and End Roll are (heavily symbolic psychological horror with heavy “maybe mundane, maybe magical” elements). Whatever the h*ck Angel Beats is (seriously, I have no clue).

A dwarf’s true beard is on the inside, not the outside. Okay, to actually contribute slightly, I cannot get over how crisp that image of the knights is. It’s no wonder Wizards is showing it off all over the place.

Listen, Women who join the Knights of Somalia have mustaches on their souls, which is what really matters.

I like some parts of the Outer Planes, but overall they feel to, well, physical to be the underlying spiritual reality. I practice, how different are they really from the Material Plane? I have the “Divine Realm”, which anyone who visits can barely describe. They’re equal parts Outer Planes...

I like them. Not much else to say besides that I just noticed that the dwarf has glasses.

There around, you’re not tripping over them, but you probably “know a guy who knows a guy”. The important thing to note is that the proportion of different types of spellcasters can vary enormously from region to region. What type of magic a tribe or nation practices is a huge part of their...

Now that I think about it, my largest city could go for a few million. Mostly because it’s the gathering place for the undead and thus needs little in the way of food. Among the living, Vanalesse at its height could hold a million, but now it’s a home to beasts, demons, and scavengers.

It seems pretty clear that the corruption spread past just the Priestking into Ishtar as a whole and threatened to consume all Krynn. I don’t know about you, but if I suddenly ended up in the Upper Planes (if I’m lucky) or the Outlands (more likely), and asked what the h*ck I’m doing here, I’d...

I’m in favor of making the Dark Powers vincible, but also think it should take more than just going over to them and beating them up.

IIRC, the spirits of dead elves go to the Hall of Mandos or are reborn on Middle-earth. I’d assume Morgoth made some mechanism that enforced the later for orcs.

It’s worth remembering that Radiant Citadel, the most unabashedly progressive product 5e has released. Still has disease spreading owl demons, masses of twitching limbs, and faceless aberration dudes, all with “typically (something) evil” clearly displayed. The servitors of evil entities...

I’m still figuring it out, but at present I perceive the orcs of my setting as the “shonen rivals” to the main civilizations. There was a split between them that neither side completely forgave the other for, and as a result they come to blows a lot. But they respect each other, and have each...

Juiblex’s Petri Dish of Oozes.

I normal skip right over the example of play section, but One D&D’s depiction of the duel between the Lady of Pain and Pun-Pun was a true work of art. I’ve read it five times now and it still rings a tear to my eye. I especially loved their mutual eulogy of Fistbeard Beardfist (which didn’t...

It’s been touched on in the one-shots I’ve run, but not delved into. If I run Curse of Strahd at some point, the Dark Powers and whatever force behind the Symbol of Ravenkind are probably going to care about it….

I wouldn’t go that far, but “literary quality” needs to get an actual definition before I can judge if something has it.

When it comes to changing lore: Often because a piece of lore comes this close to being just right. I’m making a list of lore edits to put in if I ever run Curse of Strahd, not out of any dislike for what’s already there (aside from one detail), but because it’s good enough that the tweaks I...

Gnomes are just dwarfs from before we got it into our heads somehow that dwarfs are the non-magical race.

Either/or. Chaotics could like tolerance because it allows people to live as they are without unnecessary interference, while Lawfuls can like it because it help reduce unnecessary conflict and keeps society from tearing itself apart.
