    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Cancels Competition

    And these are all aimed at artists. It's like a semi-professional baseball player trying to convice me it's unethical for me to throw some balls at cans at a fair.

    Also the question is open anyway if doing away with the wall would change anything for the faithless. Just because they won't be stuck in the wall as the default punishment doesn't mean the deities would just let them leave. Maybe Jergal before Myrkul and Myrkul before he came up with the wall...

    Better than "no one is paying me for what I love to do, so this guys over there should not be allowed to be doing it just for fun".

    And they should continue to do so while staying away from contests that are aimed at layman and not at (semi)professional artists. Or if they feel threatened that the art coming out of the layman entering such contests is a threat to their earnings, they should re-consider whether their change...

    Tell that to PETA or Vegan groups staging protest near some steak houses :) Which this whole case here is reminding me off. Except that this time the steak house caved in and shut down, sending all people looking for a tasty steak away.

    Then don't. Find some boring job where you sit in a cubicle and type numbers into one ERP system or another. Just don't ruin contests aimed at such cubicle-excel-jockeys who feel like maybe doing a drawing one in a lifetime to have a chance to win some price related to their hobby

    Or more likely it was the fear of being target of the newest s##tstorm and they just retreated because they deemed it not worth to stand their ground for those who may have liked their contest.

    There's even more. During the interregnum between Cyric losing the lordship over death and Kelemvor attaining it, no mortal on Faerun could die. There were samples of mortals being left in some serious predicament until Kelemvor was in office and they could find sweet release in death.

    And other RL groups are offended by and have protest agains the very existance of magic and multiple deities and by extension the very game itself. You can't please everyone.

    1) 99% of layman who'd enter such contest could not. It's not even work for them, probably many have never created art before such a contest and will never do after such a contest. They not even artists in their own view. I certainly don't consider myself an athlete because I once threw some...

    The time and labout you want to put into your entry is entirely up to you. You could enter with a pencil scratch smeared on a piece of paper and scanned in 2 minutes. You'll not be very likely to win anything, but you'd made an entry Easy enough: If you belief your art if too valuable for such...

    So the artists ruined it for any non-artist who just felt like trying her luck and enter something. Great job artists

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Cancels Competition

    Who said anything about it being a contest to showcase new artists? I looks like a contest aimed at layman who would not care about such conditions as they do not in any way utilize their art anyway. If (semi-)professional artists have a problem with the conditions, they should stay out. Also...

    Then Eberron destroyed itself the moment it was released? Surely there are deranged cultist who worship the overlords. And the overlords are deities in all but name Same for DS. Just because some escaped slaves start to worship the elements now that they're away from the sorcerer kings doesn't...

    And I would argue that there deities in Eberron that factually exists too. The factual existence of the currently worshipped pantheons is unconfirmed, but the overlords are just deities by another name and factually exist. So more entities on the level of unbound overlords existing outside of...

    There's a community of orcs (and as time went by a lot of half-orcs) living integrated with the local human population in Thesk. They started out as auxiliar troops provided by Zhentil Keep to the coalition lead by Azoun of Cormyr to form the crusade to stop the invading Tuigans. During the...

    Most certainly not. The wall is not that long. At the end of the day it's just a city wall around the "capital" of Kelemvor. It doesn't encompass an entire plane

    No, but the story side of D&D just tiptoed around this "newest fad" from the gaming site and just successfully outlasted it. Key is either avoiding the planes or only going to the planes in such a way that it doesn't really bring up the exact nature of the greater plane.
