I think he was being a bit acerbic about how we have tangented well and away from the purpose of the thread which is Spelljammer to discuss the merits of Dark Sun based on Athas-esque elements in a Spelljammer adventure... But yes, WotC has not ruined our childhood(young adulthood?) with this...

Artist: Jim Holloway Source: Dragon Magazine #127 Monster: Orc Long before Warcraft, this was my perception of orcs, fighting to the last for their honor and standard. Sidenote, this is the Dragon where Tucker's Kobolds premiered in the editorial.

We need to stop thinking that 'pissing off Dark Sun fans' is a threat to future sales. There are very few 'Dark Sun purist fans' in proportion to the player base. Doomspace is a sample of the process of rethinking DS for 5E. It might not be where DS winds up, but it obviously had work put into...

I thought that, but the Athasspace ballyhoo, the psionics, the term defiler, and the Athas name for lizardfolk are all very Dark Sun related. It would be tone deaf of WotC to change the name Athasspace to Doomspace but leave Defiler when it doesn't cast an arcane spell. We shall see

Hmm, the Defiling in the stat block is a nice monster ability. It has nothing to do with defiler casting for Dark Sun except to show that defiling may affect all living materials not just plant life. I am fine with that change, but I do not see the correlation with increased spell power. Just...

Before I read the stories a piece of art encouraged the basis for many characters, thieves and rogues all.

Large Luigi is actually 3 neogi in a giant puppet.

Humanoid-eating Umber Hulk Sugar Daddies, slimy on top, furry on the bottom.

I think you're right. There will be no more effort devoted to psionics other than feats or backgrounds. I do think Dark Sun will be reimagined considerably, so either a time jump or remix of both boxsets and 4E. Defiling and Preserver magic hasn't been UA tested explicitly. I would think based...

I believe the term is 'If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me.'

One Setting to rule them all, One Setting to find them, One Setting to bring them all and in the Realms bind them.

I'm sold. (To be honest, I was sold long before.) This looks like a really nice update to Spelljammer. I hope the adventure will be as engaging as it seems. As for Doomspace vs Athasspace: I sense a bit of light trolling going on. Dark Sun will be a big undertaking. I don't know that they will...

We are not very different from Mind Flayers. We enjoy a certain level of cruelty to flavor our meals. Veal and lamb are raised in horrific conditions, but they are delicious.

Right. It makes them less mustache (tentacle?) twirling Evil and merely evil. To the chicken, the farmer is diabolical.

D&D is pretty far away from a consumerist nightmare. You can have the basic rules of 5E for free and need to buy funny dice or use any number of free apps on your phone or computer. WotC hopes to lure you in with a first taste and then you're hooked. If we were back on the 3.x treadmill of...

Don't yuck my yum. Donner Dinner party is a lifestyle. :p A blatant depiction of slavery is out, but the conclusion of a monster with a mind control ability named Enslave is not eliminated. Neogi favor humanoids as food more than servants. Umber Hulks are the perfect eel-spider Au Pair. In...

Well, are we talking DC superhero movies or Marvel? I think we are in a bit of a fantasy media glut right now. We have Wheel of Time, The Witcher, GoT House of the Dragon, LotR The Rings of Power, Willow, and a D&D movie. I would call the quality of this era of fantasy shows to be mixed, but...
