It used to tick along at roughly the same yearly rate but I guess you could say the Spellplague threw it out of temporal alignment. So, while only a handful of years may have passed on Sigil, 100 years have passed on Toril.

No, I’m pretty sure they didn’t advance the timeline for those settings - they just set them in the glory days of those campaign worlds. But Planescape is different as it’s almost certain to touch upon the current Realms. Your theory that they’ll use the Vecna adventure to explain why the other...

I wonder if they’ll advance Sigil’s timeline 100 years to keep up with the Realms. I know it’s the Outer Planes and some folks will say time works differently. Well, yes, it can work differently but throughout 2E the campaign settings and Planescape pretty much ticked along at the same yearly...

I was just wondering if a paladin with Divine Health - giving him immunity to disease, including supernatural and magical - can be affected by a Spawn of Kyuss worm? I only ask as one of the ways to destroy the worm once it starts borrowing into your flesh is to cast remove disease (or remove...

I6 doesn't mention 528 BC. It is implied later. In Realm of Terror it is mentioned that in 528 "Powerful heroes assault Castle Ravenloft and perish." In Domains of Dread it is mentioned that in 528 "Powerful heroes assault Castle Ravenloft, confront Strahd, and are killed. (House of Strahd)"...

OK, thanks. Well, let's assume they are reincarnated souls then to explain why these NPCs are 200 years in the future. Also, interesting to note is that 735 BC is five years before the Grand Conjunction. But if CoS is tied to 5E Forgotten Realms (particularly through the Adventurers League...

Is it true Curse of Strahd is set in 735 BC? If so, this is strange as I6 Ravenloft is set in 528 BC. So does that mean all the NPCs from I6 are reincarnated souls in CoS?

One of my favourite things about 4E Realms was the world of Abeir. Was Abeir your creation? Was it very fleshed out as a world? I would love to see an "Abeir campaign setting" but probably very unlikely. (Maybe someone will write one and put up on the Dungeon Masters Guild.) Also, was the City...

Fair enough. I guess it could be explained as a temporal anomaly brewed up by the Dark Powers (or Strahd himself) to explain why the FR heroes go backwards in time.

The Ravenloft setting has had a metaplot like all the other campaign settings. The Grand Conjunction, the Grim Harvest, the imminent Time of Unparalleled Darkness. It would be nice to at least give a nod to all of that even if they want to return the setting to how it was (like they did with...

Does anyone roughly know what the Barovian Calendar date (BC) would be taking into consideration FR's 100-year time advance after the Spellplague?

You're thinking of a bonus CD adventure for Dungeon #87 called "Tinderbox: Caught in the Crossfire".

That's the one I was looking for! Thanks for your help :)

I don't know if anyone can help me. I remember reading an old Raise Dead thread this year with alternate takes on how to treat Raise Dead, Resurrection and True Resurrection. Anyway, there was one post in it that re-named these 3 spells (well, at least the first 2) and altered them so that you...

Thanks, guys. I forgot all about GURPS. That could definitely be a good resource. And thanks BluSponge, that's some great advice you have there.:) Cheers

Do you have a link to this boxed set? I can't seem to find it on the Troll Lords site. Cheers

Thanks. Yep, I've got that one. That will be my main reference. This book paints a broad picture, though. I was hoping there were other "Fantasy Earth" RPGs out there that had sourcebooks I could take more ideas from. For example, it might have a city sourcebook on a fantasy London or something...

I was thinking of running an Epic of Aerth campaign using D&D 3E rules. I've come to realise, however, that such a campaign is quite daunting, though, as Epic of Aerth is fairly closely based on Earth's history/myths. This means a lot of research to get the game up and running. This is...

Is there any chance Dragon's Delve could be released as a massive tome (akin to Ptolus: City by the Spire) and converted to Pathfinder rules? I think Monte said he wouldn't do this. Perhaps he was worried all the subscribers would cry foul because of all the money they've invested in it online...

Are these the ones? It looks like they're still available at Paizo: http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/f/flyingBuffalo/catalystSeries
