Gaslighting is when you tell someone that you didn't experience a problem so that they question if it's really a problem. It's a little hard to see unless you know how to look for it. A good example is here: https://www.themarysue.com/odyssey-con-issues/ Read Gregory Rihn's letter to Monica...

Are you gaslighting us on THAC0?

You need some sort of emoji here.

I understand the origins were in miniature wargames, I'm just get annoyed that at no point did they stop and decide to flip it over until they were bought out of bankruptcy. It goes all the way back to Men & Monsters. I just wish they had fixed it for AD&D and the Basic Set. They must have...

It feels like the AC is upside down. Maybe that's why they put it right-side up for 3e.

Maybe the answer is something somewhere between what they did for Elemental Evil and Ravenloft in 5e. Put out an adventure (lvl 1-10 or 5-16 with a short adventure to boost to 5), and then include a "Players Companion" style softcover as a free download or $10 purchase in a shop. The companion...

Because THAC0.

I see you wouldn't have to deal with shouting hands back on either. However that is a thing. 1e FR seems like a good setting. Less crufty. And you can use the 5e rules if you want.

What is this silly shouting things on other things thing have to do with a campaign setting?

You're the one talking about shouting someone's hands back on. That makes no sense.

LSD is the best, right man?

I don't understand. What does it mean to shout hands on? Sent from my Pixel using EN World mobile app

There you go. No need for a 5e setting at all. Just use an earlier one. They're better anyway. No dragonborn. Sent from my Pixel using EN World mobile app

Why not just use the setting from 1e, 2e, or 3e then? Does it matter if it's been updated for 5e? Sent from my Pixel using EN World mobile app

If the adventures contradict the campaign setting, then what's the point of the campaign setting again? Sent from my Pixel using EN World mobile app

But isn't that just what a campaign setting is? The state of all things like cities and NPCs at a fixed point in the timeline? Sent from my Pixel using EN World mobile app

So they should set it in the future? If there's a CS book, doesn't that set the state of the world at a certain date?

So you're saying that if they need a city to have been occupied by an army for 5 years, they should just retcon it and invalidate a FRCS that had been written before they worked out the storyline?

Maybe they'll leave FG semi-static for a while and redevelop areas of it in the TableTop RPG as they write adventure paths and dedicate Dragonlance or Greyhawk to ongoing metaplot - movies, novels, comic books.

Why would you think that they've decided what's happened to any part of the forgotten realms that they haven't already published in a book? Maybe they want to leave it open so that they can decide what happened to suit a future story. Maybe they'll decide that some place or another has been...
