That actually works really, really well too.

mass = "4ce" x acceleration?

The Forgotten Realms is Faerun. It's pretty clear that when Chris Perkins said that they were going to put Nentir Vale in the FR, they were going to put it in the FR that everyone knows, not some weird spergy parlor trick corner of the setting that only the superfans have ever heard of and is...

That doesn't make any sense. Nentir Vale is a SINGLE VALLEY about the size of the Bighorn Basin in central Wyoming, more or less. It's not a planet. It's a vale. With pretty temperate climate. Did you read Chris Perkins' post? The original plan was to put Nentir Vale in FR. When they changed...

The Forgotten Realms map doesn't have esoteric stuff like alternate versions and Abeir. Also, I'm not a 5e DM. I want to know where to put it in the Forgotten Realms, i.e., where on the Forgotten Realms map would it fit. I'm quite certain that when Perkins says that, that was their original...

https://x.com/chrisperkinsdnd/status/702518035622461440 So, simple question. Where would it be? I'm not some kind of super Realms scholar or anything, but I have pdfs of the Gray Box, the 2e Box and the 3e book. I've even read some of them! And I've read a fair number of novels over the years...

You know all those economic sanctions on Russia a couple of years ago that were supposed to cripple their economy? It didn't. Because it turns out that they could pivot their manufacturing to not need imports, and the very countries (EU, mostly) who thought that they were really putting the...

Ironically, this is exactly the problem that the tariffs are (one part of) a strategy to resolve. The economic incentives to socialize the cost to the users/consumers and privatize the profits have been a perverse incentive (in the economic sense) has gutted our ability to make anything, and...

The only recent(ish) WotC book I own was printed in China. They USED to print in the US. It doesn't look like they do anymore. But I didn't check any other books, because I don't have any. Whatever printing of the 5e PHB that I have was printed in China, however. It is correct, because they can...

As an aside, on the Steve Jackson board games comment, I don't have my board games handy because I just relocated less than a year ago and that wasn't a priority to unbox. But I do have a bunch of gamebooks and other books. I checked the two 5e books that I have; an older PHB and a third party...

Glad I didn't have to be the one to say it first. The PR on this story is deeply irritating to me. These aren't dire wolves at all, they're just CRISPR enhanced wolves. Dire wolves are less closely related to wolves than literally any other of the wolf-line dogs. African painted dogs are closer...

Because fantasy as it was conceived in the late 60s and early 70s; Gygax's formative years on the genre, was not so strictly defined where science fictiony concepts weren't around presumed to be inappropriate in fantasy. The Displacer Beast comes from a space opera story where it was some kind...

Endgame. But I honestly probably like Dark Knight and Winter Soldier better. But, arguably, because they're not actually superhero movies, even though they have superhero characters. Same is kinda sorta true for Sky High, which I have to throw out there as a dark horse contender.

Yes, it's tedious. I hadn't played D&D per se since playing 3.5 back... oh, as recently as 2016, I think, until picking up 5e. It feels the same to me. Whatever differences there are are more annoying because I don't remember them correctly, because it's basically the same. The tediousness is...

No, you're wrong. Everyone who's referred to the Bookscan data has been upfront about the limitations of it. Everyone knows that FLGSs don't report to Bookscan. It's simply bookstores and Amazon. That said, it's still useful because you can compare Bookscan data for two different books in the...

I hear that a lot, and while I don't entirely disagree with it, at some level it feels like a handwavey "don't believe your lying eyes" excuse too. Those data points certainly aren't the whole story, but they're not cherry-picked lies and impossibilities, they're well documented facts that...

I meant the 2e splatbooks overall, not specifically the psionics ones. I never actually paid much attention to psionics until 3e.

That's not the only data point that they're referring to. Many of them don't even mention that at all.

Maybe, but publishing it as compatible with 4e would kill the project too, so it needs changes anyway.

I like the idea of psionics. I once ran a campaign in the 3e era that replaced magic with psionics. All spells that had supernatural abilities or any kind of spellcasting progression were disallowed, and you could use the EPH and CH options instead to get your supernatural f/x stuff. Although I...
