This comment reminds me: When Lex Luthor returns in a later movie, I want him to have acquired a super-smart, hairless cat that's trained to counter Krypto's every move. Anything less and I will be disappointed.

Another case where I'm a bigger fan of the alt cover than the standard cover. I would also have accepted a cover with a stylized image of a kitchen sink. That would capture the theme of the Forgotten Realms perfectly. Plus, if it was a clogged kitchen sink, it would convey a sense of mystery...

Heresy! (Risen Sun Heresy from the Power of Faerun sourcebook, to be specific.)

You're thinking of the Greyhawk setting. The Faerunian god of the sun is Amaunator.

That's a good list. To get it down to twenty, I'd cut Ilmater, since he's the only deity you named who isn't a greater power.

Non-rhetorical question for anyone who doesn't like these covers: What would you prefer to be on the cover of a Forgotten Realms product? I'm genuinely curious.

Heroes of Faerun As I’ve mentioned before, I was working on the Forgotten Realms Travel Guide before Wizards of the Coast announced it would be releasing its 2025 Forgotten Realms campaign setting sourcebooks. In the wake of that announcement, I’ve been following the latest previews of the 2025...

Does anyone want to donate $1,000 to my Hawaiian vacation? I'll send you a picture of a plaque with your name on it sitting on a beach on Maui.

Not only that, but he's concerned about falling into a black hole because he would never be able to escape. Notably, he doesn't seem to think falling into a black hole would be fatal. Just something he'd never be able to escape.

Now I wish some version of that scene was in the film. That's the best explanation for that I've ever heard. Kudos to whomever wrote that issue of the comic.

As someone who doesn't really follow Superman or the DC universe, I'll offer a few thoughts about this movie as a sci-fi action movie in general instead of a Superman movie in particular: I'll start by saying the cast did well with what they were given, but the writing and directing didn't...

The the Divine Intervention section on page 75 of the 2024 DMG says gods can "send dreams, omens, or emissaries to direct mortals along a certain path." The same section mentions Fiends as one potential type of emissary. Since the arch-devil Asmodeus is a god in the Realms, he's presumably...

If nothing else, I'm sure new FR content will show up in the DMs Guild around the same time the new FR books drop. Maybe some of that will meet your needs.

I guess I don't understand people who aren't passionate about creating things. All my best dreams are about creative work I would do if I didn't have to earn a living doing something else.

Sorry to hear that. I've definitely been there before, and may be there again soon. That's why I dream of a world where everyone can make a living working in a career they find personally rewarding. I'd rather live in that world than a world where machines provide a bunch of free stuff to...

Now dream of a world where you work full time but get paid nothing, because everyone else wants the fruits of your labor to be so dirt cheap, anyone can afford them. That's the world you're asking professional artists who rely on copyright protections to live in, so presumably, you're okay...

There's a Promotion/Press forum on EN World where posters are permitted to promote their products. Presumably, one could promote fiction there in a thread with the Media tag. (Edit: Burnside posted the relevant link in the next post.)

Maybe their research consisted of watching the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service. One of the characters in that movie was all about unrealistic running blade physics. (It's not a movie I'd recommend, so feel free to take my word for it and save yourself two hours which could be better spent...

Rage Against the Machine I enjoy creative work too much to let AI do it for me. I imagine that’s true of most writers and other artists. While I’m not one of the lucky ones who makes a living doing creative work, I would find it rather depressing if there was no paying creative work left in...

Great suggestions so far! I've been watching Youtube play-throughs of some of the vehicle combat systems mentioned in this thread, and they've given me some good food for thought. Keep the suggestions coming, especially if you want to call out a specific mechanic you think works especially well...
