The gods of Krynn promptly obliterate the Quori.

Seeing as how my Dark Sun campaign will be drawing to its conclusion in the next six months and my dad will be taking over next, I might as well begin work on my next campaign by answering the questions raised here. Five. The same five from the creation of the world until its end. I’m...

God, I envy your cleric player. The last time I played a cleric, the DM literally broke out in a nervous sweat when I asked him what kind of religion/gods existed in his world. He literally had not given the question of religion in his world any thought and could not answer even the simplest...

Kinda fits with their previous strategy of teasing Spelljammer. Maybe now they’ll begin teasing Dark Sun.

My players forget their class features all the time, but NEVER forget what their magic items can do.

Good riddance. Finally, I won’t have to fight with the website (or links to it) over whether or not I want to just see an image of the cover, or the actual magazine issue.

Also, I’m thinking that the Bard, Barbarian, and Sorcerer represent the original players of a campaign, the Druid is the brand new player who thinks “you all are idiots but I’d like to try out this D&D game”, and the Paladin is the power gamer who joins the campaign about two-thirds of the way...

Well, my biological sister is in hell. She hates D&D and everything about it, but unfortunately she also LOVES watching Chris Pine.

Reply to OP. Meh. None of this is interesting to me in the slightest.

Halflings are not a species in my home game, but a term for any non-goblinoid humanoid species whose average height is equal or less than three and a half feet tall. Kender (dragonlance), Hin (mystara), Vegepygmies, Kobolds, and Darklings are all halflings.

My home game tries to avoid racial monocultures. Nevertheless, the society and culture of the high elves can be described as conservative. Actually, a better definition would probably be something like... fundamentalist. Not because of a longer lifespan though. My elves only live for two...

Amen. Me? I prefer the Dawn War to be my home game settings’ true history, but I also enjoy having the First World be the dragons’ creation myth and by extension, the dragons’ justification for their actions in subjugating other creatures to their will. Well, the chromatic dragons anyway.

Almost? In Voyager season 1, Tuvok outright tells a bajoran crew member that all forms of religious decoration is not permitted in the Starfleet dress code.

Regarding aboleths: I would imagine that they originate from the First World, preceded the dragons as that world’s first intelligent species, and due to both aboleths and dragons being implied to have a “genetic memory”, both groups remember said First World. Also kind of explains why the...

Nope. Melee weapons use strength, ranged weapons use dexterity.

1). All weapons are based on strength except those with the finesse weapon property. 2). Making an ability/skill check to escape from being grappled or restrained doesn’t cost you your action.

Yeah, pretty much. Unlike Pathfinder linnorms however they don’t unleash a death curse when they die.

My favorite monsters to throw at my players are 1) Dragons, 2) Giants, 3) Froghemoths, and 4) Girallons. EDIT - it should be noted that my dragons don’t have wings. They can’t fly, but make up for this with a lot more damage and condition resistances/immunities and more dangerous breath weapons.

I’ve always felt like Vidar was for the Ragnaroc story what Enlil/Marduk was for the Babylonians. And Atlas was for the Greeks. To grossly oversimplify: You’ve got Ki who represents the Earth (beneath), Anu who represents the Sky (above), and Enlil/Marduk who represents the Wind (between)...

If I am a player and the setting in question is clearly described to me by the DM as taking inspiration from real world history, I won’t have too much of a problem with a region/nation that is clearly supposed to be a discount Ottoman Turkey. If, on the other hand the setting in question is...
