I'd be fine with it personally. Eclipses are common enough on the planet and Wish is Wish. Big stuff like this is its ballpark Now, the problem is, yeah, you might arrange an eclipse, but not only have you pissed off all the gods involved, you may also may throw the seasons a bit out of whack...

Huh, there you go!

Nah, the 3E art was different. Had a background, showed the kraken as being massive due to size comparison, while the recent one is just by itself. The fandom wiki (as much as I loath that becursed website) has both pictures Unless there's some random Dungeon adventure I'm not aware of in 3E...

Also I will say in regards to the new Marilith, don't forget the Kraken situation The Kraken got a whole massive redesign that turned it from "Giant squid" into "Huge sea monster" in 5E. But, despite this, in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, where there's a baby kraken? Its based on the old 3E artwork...

Maeder have been gone for well over 20 years at this point. They weren't an iconic monster and "Yeah the curse medusa can affect men now" works a lot better than "There's this rare anti-medusa who shacks up with medusae and inverts the thing they do". Let's be honest, maeder weren't monsters...

I mean, she was only that in one alleged tale. Every other one, she's one of the three Gorgon sisters and never was a human

You're basically going to have to go into the dodgy side market side of things and, I gotta be honest? I don't know if there's much of a market for it But, yeah, Ebay or Reddit are going to be your areas and you maaaay want to keep the specific account on the downlow just in case

This annoyed me enough after the provided examples that, no, you're not escaping. We're dragging out some specific pokemon that note their intellect in terms of being why they have psychic potential Alakazam: Its brain can out-perform a super computer. Its IQ is said to be over 5,000 Slowking...

Oh come on, this is hardly 'twitter activists'. D&D has had issues with its portrayal of orcs for decades, and 5E was hardly innocent of things. About the best thing you can say about it was "I guess that wasn't as bad as what happened with Hadozee", but that's only a comparison in the way...

And my big ol' wall of text starting this thing was arguing against someone complaining about this change, who ignore that 'aren't always evil' entirely, and think they should always be evil and how dare a popular choice be playable Regardless though, given how much they're spicing up every...

Oh come on Micah, you know well enough how I take these "Oh these monsters should just always be evil like they were in the old editions and we should never change from then!" posts. What next, we want to bring back the old Encounter Table - Mars ones, for all of those people clamouring for John...

Well, too late because D&D orcs have never been interesting and people prefer orcs being more than just "The stock humanoid enemy". More interesting types of orcs from Warhammer and Warcraft absolutely crushed D&D orcs, so they're the pop culture standard nowerdays I think the aim is to have...

Energy, specifically Aether and MTG Mana. A whirling, chaotic vacuuum of space, mana and energy. Like, the most equivilent it has to anything in D&D is the Weave, except if the Weave touches all dimensions and you can hop to other realities through there, and completely unconnected to gods to...

Nope, only has the Eldrazi. Anything that doesn't have a Planeswalker spark is not powerful enough to be there and isn't going to last Its not the Shadowfall, its not aligned with death. Its just somewhere you're not supposed to be. There's no negative, no positive, it is just "This is not a...

The Astral has all of its hangups, though. The Blind Eternities doesn't. Astral's chock full of things, its all timeless and whatnot, this is all stuff that doesn't apply to the Blind Eternities. It isn't a place you visit and have adventures in, its a place that tears you to shreds unless...

I mean, I think it got more than Jakandor did in like. I genuinely forget Jakandor is a D&D setting and I keep thinking its some third party one that got roped in by accident before I remember, no, it is first party.

I mean, I think we know the reasons pretty well. Its too far from the D&D standards and just isn't that popuar to put the effort in to put everything down Back in 2015 when they did that setting survey, Birthright was in the survey if I remember right, but sure didn't mention it in the results...

Yeah, I'm surprised Birthright's come up this much compared to Mystara (which at least gets mention every now and again) or Council of Wyrms. While Mystara's the likely and easy "Bring this set back from the dead, give it a light polishing and release" if they chose to do one, Council of Wyrms...

I mean, I remember how it was when I started in 3.5E I looked at anything with cool art and lore, and stayed away from anything that looked too complex to run That's lore, not utility. Its one and the same

Its never been about utility, though? Its always been a description of what these things are and how they operate. Even 1E and 2E is like this, especially 2E Charts are useless to a new DM playing through, but a picture and a description explaining "This is what a Beholder is, where they can...
