At a glance I don't see the connection. Isn't it a normal fantasy setting? I notice Tharizdun is one of the deities, though...

The EEE is most congealed and sticky.

OK, I'll check this one out again.

I don't mind the magic and decay relationship in Broken Weave but the four races being tied to the elements (Dwarves are linked to fire, Elves to earth, Halflings to water, and Humans to wind) somehow seems a bit goofy for me.

I like them better than the US version. And some art pieces have been especially made for this set. When is the last time Wayne Reynold's art featured in a D&D book?

I missed out on these and now they're being flogged on ebay for stupid prices...

It looks pretty. I wonder how much such a deluxe book will be priced at. And will it supersede the standard version now available or is it more of a pretty book for the bookshelf, rather than everyone having a copy at the table? I'll check it out but think I might prefer to wait for 6th Edition...

Why were people like that back then? Were they just questionable people or a product of the times? For example, if I were born back then, would I be the same? Or would I think as I do now, ie. that everyone deserves equal respect regardless of gender, race, etc. and everyone has a place in...

Coming from 3E, I'm stuck in the mindset that a DC is static in the world. So, if there's a lock to pick that is DC 19, then that is DC 19 no matter who comes along. It doesn't matter if they have more DEX or Levels or Prime or Secondary stats. I guess that would be your formula in reverse: Dex...

How does a single DC work? Do classes still have primary (+6) and secondary (+2) attributes?

That's an interesting question... Was there any Greyhawk metaplot penned by Gygax in Dragon magazine articles or planned for publication? I think he was going to do a Bandit Lands supplement or something but I could be mistaken.

It just hit $2mil. Apparently, a GM's Guide and Monster Manual is also coming out in later kickstarters to make up the holy trinity. I'd rather wait for all 3 core books to drop before investing in it.

It will be interesting to see the isometric map of the City of Greyhawk on the other side - ie. will it be the same angle-of-view and treatment as the old boxed set isometric map? Will it be the TSR City of Greyhawk map or the one from the Gord the Rogue novels? I always felt the map from the...

Tharizdun was trapped in an extra-dimensional prison until he is released by the assembled Theorparts in the Gord the Rogue series. I can't quite remember what happens to him at the end of the series - ie. is he imprisoned again, is he destroyed, etc? All I can remember is Oerth bites the dust...

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I’ve been slowly going through them… Darksun I did consider but I felt the burning desert wasteland and blistering sun didn’t feel like Tharizdun somehow. Stryxhaven and Jakandor? At a glance I couldn’t see the connection. Will have to take a second...

I’ve been looking for a good published setting to use for a dead/dying world taken over by Tharizdun. Some settings I’ve come across in my search: Midnight (Fantasy Flight Games) --> probably not suitable; this is more of a ‘what if’ Sauron won rather than a dark destructive god. Broken Weave...

If you are the customer, don't you think they are at least partly at fault if you think they have missed the brief or if you feel the final product is poor in quality? If they don't hear you voice your complaint, how will they ever change?

How do official 5E adventures stand up against all the 3PP 5E adventures out there? Do 3PP adventures often have better writing and more considered design?

I'm surprised at how much money they've made so far. They're soaring towards $2mil. Is that normal for 5E Alternates? What if you had a gish-type character - does that mean you have Stamina and Mana points?

I’m not entirely sure what it would look like but it would be streamlined and evocative and hopefully appeal to today’s gamers, new and old alike. The SRD is just the base framework for some smart cookie to work from to produce their own riff on the rules system. If their take on the game...
