Well, again, yes and no. As just the Nentir Vale region, it's still a fully sandbox setting. You can play a whole lv. 1-20 campaign without ever leaving the vale. However, AFAIK, they never considered the Nentir Vale a proper setting, just a place to plug into your pre-established campaign...

Where?

If only they do the same with the species, I will be more optimistic. I know DMs, specially old school DMs, to wish species roles to be specifically mentioned in the rules.

Yes and no. It started as you said, a piece of land to plug into whatever place you wanted in your campaign. However, as 4th edition advanced, the Nentir Vale started to grown into its own setting, with its own lore and stuff (though, it shares a lot of places with Greyhawk and Mystara). The...

Says the guy who got defeated by the good guys...

I highly disagree with this. Good can be competent as well. In fact, I think that "dumb good" is actually incompetent Evil in disguise. But well, this is one of the many reasons I dislike Planescape.

I didn't even knew this term existed, but I've met people like that.

Human spectrum in the real life is way more complex than that. Our reality is not fixed by absolute cosmic forces that determine what is good and what is not. Using real life as an example is not accurate, therefore. Alignments are more like computer commands: it's either a 1 or a 0. You are...

Then is not actually good. They just claim to be good, but claiming to be something doesn't make you that something. They are evil in my PoV.

How the Greyhawk isolationist elves are different from the Forgotten Realms isolationist elves and from the Dragonlance isolationist elves? I mean, you are saying this is one of the highlights of Greyhawk, but in my PoV this an already used to boringness trope.

Sadly, I don't see this statement as true given what they published in Ghosts of Saltmarch. And that book heavily coloured my opinion about Greyhawk (negatively, if I have to clarify). Add to that all the Gygax's stuff, and that's why I've purposefully avoided Greyhawk... Anyways, thanks for...

Thanks for your answer. I've read rumors online saying that the book was finished back then, but it had to be shelved because some licensing issues. I guess it was just rumors, then.

I'm sorry to bother you, and I understand if you can't answer my query, but as someone who has been aware of the Age of the Wolf stuff since 2009, I'm curious: do you know how much of the book was finished back them?

Yes. Sorcerer is getting out of the "poor's man wizard" niche, at last! As it should be. Heck, you're making me consider giving 5.5 a chance now, lol

Draconomicon 2: Metallic Dragons. In the Hall of Dragons section, in the entry that talks about Bahamut.

Well, Warhammer is the kind of setting were collective schizophrenia creating things makes sense...

This take just like nullifies the fantasy of the fantasy genre. It makes all gods just a product of collective schizophrenia...

It's certainly not the most helpful way to do it if you want to have the focus on the faithful and not of on the gods. One of the most common complains I've read about the Forgotten Realms is how the focus is too much on the gods, to the detriment of other plots that do not feature gods. And not...

Curiously enough, this is the same what happened to Bahamut. He started as this cosmic whale from the Arabic traditions that carried the world on its back (or more accurately, carried a bull* that in turn carried an angel that in turn carried the world), that may or may have not been an...

Conan had to demand Crom's attention first. And if he didn't listen, to Hell with him.
