    Paizo Partners with Titan Forge and MyMiniFactory to Offer Premium STLs and Print-On-Demand Miniatures

    Yes and no. High quality STLs of the current "official" monsters designs are much less common IME. Can you get something that is close - sure, but it is not the real thing. The same is true for "official" PF2 monsters. However, that is not the point really. It is just a good idea to offer this...

    D&D General Fallback: Dealing With Dragons Review from dungeonsanddragonsfan.com [[spoilers]]

    That is not how the English language works. The whole paragraph is explaining that though primordial dragons may look and act similar to gods, and may in fact even be called gods, they are of a different essential nature than the gods. Then why not state that instead of calling them primordial...

    Thank you for the citation! It is noteworthy, IMO, that calling gods Estelar only pertains to the Forgotten Realms setting from what I can tell (it never seems to have appeared outside the 4e FR Campaing Guide). In fact, the source of the citation referenced notes that though this is considered...

    D&D General Fallback: Dealing With Dragons Review from dungeonsanddragonsfan.com [[spoilers]]

    I agree there are edge cases (particularly D&D's habit of having mortals ascend to god-hood), but again I think the general definition is clear and helpful. I could even make an argument for all gods "hailing" from the outer planes from a certain point of view. However, I will ask again, has it...

    D&D General Fallback: Dealing With Dragons Review from dungeonsanddragonsfan.com [[spoilers]]

    I don't know how you could read FToD and come to that conclusion. The book says Tiamat and Bahamut are "...ontologically distinct from the gods..." I don't think it can be more clear than that. Ontology deals with the essence of something, the nature of its being. FToD is saying the very nature...

    D&D General Fallback: Dealing With Dragons Review from dungeonsanddragonsfan.com [[spoilers]]

    I actually think is more clear now compared to most other versions of D&D. Though it is possible definitions were clear in other editions too and I just don't remember as much because I do like the framework presented with FToD and have taken it to heart. What was the definition of a god in a...

    Well, technically Tiamat and Bahamut are not gods either, they are primordial dragons according to FToD. The the difference is primarily one of origin.

    Well he has been trying to extend his life for a long time. I do wonder if he is a literal god or a "god" like Fizban's suggest other great wyrms are worshiped as gods.

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    IDK, I don't have any filter on in D&DB but I do use an add blocker on my browser. However, I just tried it with another browser without any add blockers and it looked the same. In both browsers the top of the page is a few adds, see below. However, the articles are immediately below these adds.

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    Traditionally I had adopted the Dawn War model with Primordials coming from the EC and Gods coming from AS and between them was the Void. The Primordials started to create in the void, the gods became fascinated, and eventual war broke out that resulted in the defeat of most of the primoridals...

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    I disagree with your interpretation, but it ultimately doesn't matter and I will just agree to disagree. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
