What Kickstarter is this? If it's the 5e Blue Rose one, it looks like it was definitely successful.

Honestly, I think I would love seeing a 5e Spelljammer book. For all the issues in rules or supplements or whatever, the setting was pretty neat. IIRC it even had Earth somewhere in it (yes a fantasy one but that was cool).

Has it ever been revealed what the overall name of their setting is, since Exandria & Wildemount are merely two continents in the setting? Like do they have an overall setting name yet?

What kind of guns do you think elves might wield, considering the general fantasy takes on their sense of aesthetics and high quality workmanship? Something functional, beautiful, yet relatively high powered or potentially quick loading?

Speaking of dragonlances, I can't quite remember if they truly were magical, as if you required some sort of mystical something to kill dragons in Dragonlance, or whether they just did more damage (meaning other powerful mundane weapons could do the same).

Why did 2E naughty word on both knights and Grey Elves so hard? Were a lot of stereotypes about elves and paladins created in 2E, and players kept on pushing these stereotypes even through multiple editions where these issues weren't around anymore?

There are also air guns one could look at if you want an alternative to blackpowder or smokepowder.

Honestly, I actually dislike this because I feel it is just the equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs, and then pretending the new rearrangement is magically better. It reminds me of a Japanese term for replacing an old word that is now considered bad with a newer word. And then eventually...

Funny about Dunmer, they kind of make me think they're sort of like drow, of perhaps a particular city, who were conquered by a relatively liberal/progressive surface empire that kind of forced them to/was able to mitigate some of the worst abuses of their current culture, and are sort of slowly...

I thought Norse-inspired settings were? I remember seeing like 5 of them for 5e, for example.

Maybe. I kind of get the feeling Dragonlance hasn't been quite as influential, beyond generally making elves super dickish, vs Forgotten Realms and its particular ideas on orcs or drow. Or perhaps it's better to say Dragonlance's influences are generally in a different area perhaps. I've...

I want to hipefully someday see D&D games in 3rd party campaign settings. Solasta is one example. Maybe someday, something like a game in Scarred Lands could happen.

IIRC fast reloads were about 20 seconds, so that's like 3 rounds of time I think?

I wonder if the issue is that Forgotten Realms really displaced Greyhawk and Mystara, so then perceptions on races invariably got influenced by FR's versions of them, leading most players to reflexively think of the FR version instead of the older versions from Greyhawk. Like I suspect a lot of...

Honestly, it's possible that one could up the damage of blackpowder firearms or something, having them be balanced by issues like keeping the powder dry, and the difficulty it takes to reload powder, wad, and ball. You have one shot, and after that, unless you have the time or speed to do a...

Often because wizards, in a lot of the more archetypical fantasy settings, seem to be more like boutique, handcrafting specialists, and often the world outside of magic hasn't advanced enough that interchangeable parts are a thing. Something like guns, in such settings, often still probably...

Musket rounds were hardly ever producers of "clean bullet wounds." I don't understand why people in this thread keep on trying to use claims about modern bullets and applying them to musket bullets., despite those same people mentioning about how D&D uses muskets and such. Like seriously...

Isn't another factor in how dangerous early guns could be (of course modern guns are even more dangerous but we're talking about fantasy D&D here) that because they fired a big lead ball relatively slow, that lead ball could often cause devestating damage like pulverizing your bones practically...

For the Forgotten Realms at least, how much does magic potentially play a role in providing say effective refrigeration to potentially allow for varieties in food closer to what we think of today? I'm sure while spices and vegetables may have issues depending on where they're grown (and thus...

Yeah but there were nuances from what I read in the FR wiki. Like one of them had equality of sorts if you were also a wizard, even non-drow wizards, because the wizards had couped the Lolth priesthood. Just seems more interesting than "here are these sudden new drow cultures we never ever gave...
