This has happened to like, what, 3-4 types of creatures? Elves, Goblinoids, and Changelings? That’s it, right? I think it makes sense for all of them to be connected to Fey in D&D, they were in folklore. There have been a few new fey races (Fairies, Harengon), but most 5e races and monsters have...

There’s also only been a single 5e book for the Feywild and Fey are one of the least common creature types.

The events of Descent into Avernus are vaguely mentioned in Baldur’s Gate 3

Arkham the Cruel is in Avernus with Vecna’s hand.

As a DM, I’d definitely find a way to remedy this problem if it comes up in the campaign. But I wish WotC had done a better job of designing race and subclass abilities to avoid this issue and reward thematic synergy.

It depends on the setting, but typically, they’re a mix of mercenaries and what Indiana Jones movies think archaeologists are. Most D&D settings have “ruins from a long-gone great empire,” and adventures are the ones brave and skilled enough to delve into them. But, again, it depends on the...

This is a problem that applies to other races, too. Goblin Rogues get the redundancy of Nimble Escape giving most of what Cunning Action gives. There are subclasses that give resistance to damage types that could be redundant based on which race you chose, so you're incentivized to choose a race...

One of my home brew settings, the Devils won the Blood War and conquered the rest of the Outer Planes. The ended up being cut off from the Inner Planes by a magical barrier, and some extraplanar refugees fled to the Inner Planes. The Elemental Planes (Shadowfell, Feywild, Elemental planes)...

IIRC, 4e applied it to all of the settings. Even Eberron’s planes were organized into World Axis style groupings and the Shadowfell and Feywild were added to Dark Sun.

My first introduction to D&D and Forgotten Realms cosmology was the 5e Great Wheel. After learning about the World Axis, I can say that it’s easily my favorite cosmology for the Forgotten Realms. The Great Wheel just has too much redundancy and grid-filling. Also I don’t like alignment, so a...

You can hate both. I hate both the algorithm for incentivizing clickbait and terrible videos and people that do that instead of making quality content. There are tons of channels that make good videos without engaging in this sort of clickbait and still make money from them. Could you please...

I personally don't want to post in the threads of people I have ignored and don't understand why others would in most cases.

I once blocked someone for harassing me and purposefully seeking out my threads in order to threadcrap and sabotage the discussions because of their vendetta against me. I have this particular member on 2 way ignore because I don’t want them engaging with my posts and force me to engage with...

Most are from Greyhawk. Some of the iconic D&D spells (magic missile, shield, etc) have in-world creators in the Forgotten Realms.

This is a homebrew religion I've been working on for over a month. It's definitely the most in-depth fantasy religion I've ever made and I took inspiration from a lot of real world religions to make it. The main influences were Mandaeism and other Gnostic religions, but there is a large amount...

Creator of the original Fallout has a spoiler review of the series. He liked it.

Yes, we have quite a few (27), but a new one hasn’t been ratified in over 3 decades. The Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been ratified yet and it passed both houses of congress in 1972. It is pretty fantastical to imagine such an amendment passing in the modern political climate in America. But...

It was originally just tradition to only serve 2 terms because of Washington, but there were presidents that did try for a 3rd term (Ulysses S. Grant, Teddy Rosevelt). FDR was the first to succeed, and the constitution was changed to prevent that from happening again. It would take a...

“Elfgame,” in my experience, is not used to shut down serious discussions of TTRPGs. From what I’ve seen, it’s very much the opposite, shutting down people over-reacting about minor lore/canon changes, accusing WotC of hating older gamers for nonsensical reasons, and stuff like that. You know...

I don’t know the circumstances that you feel “elfgames” has been offensive to you, so I can’t make a statement on your particular issue with the phrase. Unless you say which specific cases made you feel this way, I can only comment on how it and similar phrases are generally used and why I feel...
