I wonder how they will implement the whole aspect about the colors usually reflecting the personalities. Red is generally the leader Black is generally the overall best but tends to be a loner and destined for a dark fate Pink is the stereotypical girl and considered the heart/caretaker Blue is...

I believe I implied that quite clearly in my original post. You make a world that is completely alien with completely alien races that cannot be compared to the standard Tolkien races without really stretching things and.... congratulations, you've made something that no one is going to be able...

No-- I haven't-- and a quick internet search bringing up only the same copy and pasted blurb about the setting tells me that barely anyone else ever has either. Which is precisely my point. I would say it falls under category 3 where they tried to make everything so alien but didn't have any...

I think the issue is that one of three things happens when you try to move away from Tolkien in terms of the denizens of the world. 1) They just make a "big, strong guys warrior" race, a "little people" race and a "thin, magic" race and usually there are bad guys who are a "beast race", though...

I guess what I was most focused on was the whole maturing like a normal human.... Also... mature like a normal human but live up to 625 years? That is horrific. Not many humans past 90 are even able to walk under their own power and these guys are going to get many times more degraded than that...

Forgotten Realms has become almost the default game world for D&D 5E. Ravenloft has also already been brought back. I am not sure to what extent I would say Greyhawk ever went anywhere, but frankly-- it felt like Greyhawk never had anything unique or special to it anyway that would make it worth...

I feel like if you just used the same stats as crossbows, it would work out better than this. We have crossbows in 3 sizes, so that should do it for pistol, rifle and musket. But crossbows are also known for reloading slowly, not requiring a great amount of skill to use it and packing a similar...

Huh-- they get no benefit from the long-life that elves do?

I would venture to guess that, as the internet was new in those days, that TSR simply hired a law firm to slap down copyright infringement and the law firm was quite zealous in sending out such letters as they would ultimately get paid based on how many cases they generated. It seems like TSR...

That's all fine and good, but when you are dealing with "fans are posting online every number and every table and most of the passages of text of the books we print online for free and likely making them more accessible, interactive and easier to navigate than they are in our actual book" how...

I wonder if anyone is really surprised that companies have been sending out cease-and-desist letters against online fan content for as long as the internet has been around. Even sometimes sending it out to the wrong people. Although-- in the interest of fairness-- you don't really have the...

I think part of the issue is that there should be two very distinct kinds of "see in the dark" types. There should be those who live on the surface but are likely primarily nocturnal and so can get around in low-light conditions and those who live underground or deep underwater where they just...

You should do the same thing that was done for the Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold and Orc in the book-- give them some sort of battle ability that is similar (or even identical) to a 1st/2nd level PC class ability, whichever class they are would most likely be. Otherwise-- its just not really all...

I cannot possibly express just how utterly sick to death I am of people demanding elves of every single color under the rainbow super optimized to be the best at every single class in the game. Like-- seriously-- I wonder sometimes why other races even exist in the game as everyone always wants...

I think D&D has some very American aspects to it that are being quite overlooked here. Many D&D worlds are about reclaiming a world that has some history to it, where treasure from previous inhabitants is hidden everywhere, and you are going from the ever-expanding bastions of civilization into...

Dungeons and Dragons was orinally defined as a game that took war model gaming and put a narrative around it that put the focus on a group of characters that were battling against the odds. The development towards characters in stories over the years is a pretty natural development. It was...

If your animal companion is medium size, then a small sized character should be able to use it as a mount. But-- lets be honest, those who made D&D 5E intentionally made wolfs the only actual possible real choice as an animal companion as anythlng else would be comparatively worthless and a...

Calling a common scientific consensus to be "bunk science" and offering your "proof" as an article that offers up as evidence-- a single eye-witness account from "the Carolinas" which is found among hundreds of accounts of Native American behavior that includes everything from devil worship to...

It would certainly make more sense to at least say "Most are hostile to humans/elves/dwarfs because A, B, C, D" as it would allow them to be cooperative enough within their own society to functionally be able to raise children and thrive to the point of creating an army that is enough of a...

What I read was that, if elves and dwarfs existed, they wouldn't qualify as people because they wouldn't technically be human. But all these sci-fi and fantasy peoples are virtually always understood to be just humans with some exaggerated traits. By making them "not technically human" people...
