Goal #1 Introduce my daughter to Dungeons & Dragons. Goal #2 To finally get Eye On Cormyr issue #5 out the door and published to the DMs Guild. There will be content from George Krashos and Steven Schend in it. I just have to finish dealing with life, the universe, and everything else first...

What a delight the arcanaloth’s soul tome is! I love the idea of banishing characters and creatures into books. 📕 😈

Now I’m looking forward to this book even more.

I LOVE this book for D&D inspiration. Robert Macfarlane’s writing is positively magical.

This logic doesn’t hold vs. the last fifty years of D&D’s existence.

Ooh! Thank you for posting this link. (I love Scalzi’s audiobooks.)

Me and my big mouth. https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/lore-change-purple-dragon-knight-playtest Bassill got the lore wrong about how humans came to control Cormyr, but I’m not on Xitter anymore so no contacting him about it I guess. EDIT: And he got the subclass wrong (Fighter, not Paladin.)

I’m taking an African American Literature course and an English Literature course; a good chunk of my reading has been decided for me. I’m listening to Gideon the Ninth by Tamsin Muir and I just finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. I am of course eagerly awaiting the new Monster Manual so I...

I like the artwork. 🖼️

I wonder if the deity Talos will claim these critters under his portfolio (if he hasn't already)? Anyway, I bet a priest of Talos (or the Storm Deity of your choice) might be able to cast a spell granting the returning property to a javelin---especially an Aarakocra-crafted one.

Yep. I want to use these new critters straight away. With the Thunder damage add on it’s a given that an Aarakocra ambush is something you can hear from far away—just the sort of thing to lure adventurers to the scene of the attack.

Thank you.

I was not aware that Cormyr was on the list of places the new sourcebooks would update. Are you inferring that Cormyr is to be updated or do you have a link or source that confirms this definitively?

There’s a difference between updates and retcons. Modern-day Cormyreans still remember the last time a purple-colored dragon flew in the sky (see Fire In The Blood). Those aren’t happy memories.

I had forgotten about the hyppogriff riders! I think they were based on the western slopes of the Stormhorns, well away from population centers. My thought was the Purple Dragons should be riding wyverns. Plenty of those on Cormyr’s borders.

lol fyi: writing in all caps doesn’t strengthen an argument. And this is playtest content. Not official content. The Purple Dragons aren’t riding amethyst dragons. Hopefully they never will. Let’s skip over your erroneous mischaracterization of current events in Cormyr, current Cormyrean...

Heh. A “Knight” in Cormyr is a least noble rank that’s awarded on an individual basis. There are individual Purple Dragons who’ve earned the rank of Knight. (There are non-Purple Dragons who’ve earned it, too.) However, there’s no such thing as a “Purple Dragon Knight.” There are no chivalric...

Interesting point of view. Regarding the PDK: as written it's a big fat retcon.

No.

I can work with this. I’m looking forward to the new Monster Manual.
