This is almost word-for-word what the guy in my group who used to play Shadowrun said after my last session. After commenting on just how different Forgotten Realms, Eberron, and Dark Sun felt from each other, he announced his plan to DM a D&D 5e Shadowrun game.

My players are looking forward to fighting their very first dragon in D&D. We’re playing on New Years’ Day and I promised them they’d get to fight one. Myself? Well, I’d like to see a 5e Dark Sun campaign guide (hopefully titled the Wanderer’s Guide to Athas). Beyond that, I won’t deny the...

I think it is. I mean, it’s even consistent with what Orcs of Thar says created the Broken Lands: someone basically pushed the button on a futuristic nuclear device of some kind!

Reply to OP. Yeah, Gazetteer 10 is really bad. A few months back, I started working on a Mystara campaign for when my current Dark Sun campaign ends. Up until I hit GAZ10, whatever issues I had with the respective regions were two or three things that could easily be switched around, without...

Reply to OP. “Barbarian” is a playable class in my setting and not a word used to describe a culture. For example, the Ostland warriors who jump out of a longboat and smash your face with a great ax might have levels in the barbarian class, but the surrounding nations will refer to them as...

Zariel-influenced — bloodthirsty. Favor battleaxes and longswords, use clockwork dragons as flamethrower artillery and bulettes as shock troops. Dispater-influenced — paranoid. Favor morning stars and flails, use shield guardians as bodyguards and basilisks as watchdogs.

In fourth edition, yes.

oh, HECK YES!!!

Storm giants are the ones who become Sun Titans. They’re basically beefed-up D&D Storm Giant Quintessents with evocation magic and the ability to erupt into blinding light. Fire giants mature into Brass Titans. If you injure them, their blood splashes onto you and burns you. They have innate...

I’m really enjoying this thread a lot and feel like sharing two examples of giants and age categories work in my games. CLOUD GIANTS Young cloud giants are essentially regular D&D cloud giants. Adult and Ancient cloud giants start the transition to “stellar” pseudo-deity. They develop innate...

In my games, the animosity between dragons and giants stems from the fact they fought on opposite sides of the Dawn War. Dragons fought for the celestials, giants for the elementals. More accurately, dragons were created to usurp the power of the primordials (the lords and masters of the...

Took the survey two days ago. Favorite setting for me was Dark Sun (no surprise there). Second was Mystara. For the life of me however, I can’t remember what I picked as number three. It was either Dragonlance or Eberron, but I can’t remember which.

LEAST FAVORITES No offense intended to any who like them. Deep Dragon Draconian Infiltrator — this is probably the single worst piece of art in the book in my opinion. Topaz Dragon — the wings. My brain just can’t get past the wings. HONORABLE MENTIONS (2) Dragonbone Golem Gem Stalker...

From Mystara 1) Ruby dragons are a thing. They breathe fire and hire themselves out as mercenaries. 2) Tiamat’s equivalent in this setting is Pearl, a dragon immortal whose scales refract all the colors of the rainbow. There actually is a dragon Immortal in the setting of Mystara called...

...this is kind of similar to the background story I use for my home game interpretation of Athas. Of course, my version of Athas isn’t “blocked” off. It’s more like the different settings are alternate timelines of each other.
