Honestly I doubt we'd see Deities and Demigods because not only did it cause legal troubles with the whole Cthulhu crew, but folks basically treated it as an extended monster manual, except this time you could kill the gods and shatter their thrones Surprisingly one of the few not playable in...

Speaking of more AI mess-ups (hi its me I got an avatar its everyone's favourite prehistoric jawless fish sacabambaspis) Just an archeological description of a scimitar getting its wires crossed with either Dungeons and Dragons or Elden Ring due to using AI to write the document are we really...

No. The conclusion is AI proliferation will lead to experts in fields losing their jobs and mass waves of false information spreading because you've fired people who can actually research. Case in point, the AI 'statement' up-thread based on "Absolutely nothing". Heck, we're already seeing it in...

On Slaad, my favourite version of them came from 4E. Their gimmick there was they really hated how reality was bound and all the infinite planes of the multiverse weren't accessible any more, so they tended to just. Bite at the problem. Just eating away the fabric of reality. As you do Plus...

Dangit, I was coming in here to post this exact same image But yeah, DM being a jerk and not accepting 'huh maybe I shouldn't screw around with absent players, almost like they'd be a bit pissed off' as an answer

Honestly, there isn't that much talk about BG3 going on outside of the D&D sphere. The bear scene got a talk and some people interested, but its not like, Hollow Knight 2 levels of hype or anything like that

I mean, I've been sitting on a bunch of 'man I loved playing that old Metalurgy mod for Minecraft plus Tinkers that let me make some crazy weapons' for a while. Y"know, just. Go into the mystical fairytale dimension to get mythril and fantasy metals, go to hell to get fun stuff like Vyroxeres...

Nah. Plenty of thieves don't use magic. No reason for 'em to be required to delve into magic unless they want to

Technically orichalcum almost got mention in 4E with the Orium dragons. Who are, Orichalcum dragons. Anywho, having played way too much Terraria, clearly Orichalcum is roughly on par with mythril, but more suited towards anyone who'd benefit from massive criticals, because every piece of it...

Nah, c'mon cobber. Let's do this. Let's play this game Let's look at who else apparently doesn't exist in your D&D game because you apparently don't have anything from east of Europe Tiamat: Babyloanian deity/monster. That's ain't medieval Europe. So I guess you don't have one of D&D's iconic...

We've had Oni forever, the tengu-inspired kenku are one of the more popular races around, kirin are fairly common good celestials, Metallic dragons were very specifically based on ryu and lung originally. D&D's always has stuff from out east. I haven't even gone into naga or rakshasa. From...

Outside of the D&D space it was useful for quick answers to questions. With Googles searches being absolutely useless at present, appending 'reddit' to it tended to give pretty okay and relevant results to actually solving problems Mind it was mostly the tech side of things being hit on that

Middle Earth is a fairly low fantasy-ish setting, whereas Faerun is high magic as all get-out. Any half-decent wizard there is putting out far more stuff than any wizard ever did. Even Melkor, for all his power, is going to be just done the moment he causes problems and the various wizards take...

When making a movie to introduce people to a franchise, you want to keep it simple and give each archetype its Thing to do. Making half the crew cast spells would make it too messy and also could be confusing as to each person's gimmick. Sure, we're people who know "oh that's a bard they can...

Can't really say on the name. D&D is brand recognition, but it is also brand recognition of "That one movie that did absolutely awfully", as the original D&D movies have sort of hung a shadow over the brand ever since Heck no on the serious side. People enjoyed its tone and not taking itself...

How it handled its planes overall was neat, far nicer than the "Yeah we're just seperating folks based on alignment even when they should be vibing together based on their pantheon" Also Bahamut's giant dimension travelling ships to scoop up lost souls were pretty dang badass

And the Feywild itself is just the Plane of Faerie which has been an on-again off-again one that's shown up. I know it was mentioned in some 3.5E stuff along with other weird planes like the Plane of Mirrors

Oh, by the 80s, yeah, they had to change stuff to fit with the world. But KT still inherits that debt as it were from its origin

Kara-Tur is a low magic human-centric place where its non-human races are supposed to be incredibly rare and hard to come by, anti-levitation magic is supposed to be both incredibly rare and also powerful enough to serve as the main defence of at least one city, and basically just a general low...

Luis, mate. I'm criticising real actually published product Oriental Adventures. It wasn't justified at all. It was "Their only view into this world was what they could find on Japan and they just slapped it over everything". You've just gone off left field for whatever reason I cannot fathom...
