They apparently really, really wanted Dragonlance to be a separate IP unconnected to DnD

There's multiple versions of Vecna, Nerull, the Raven Queen and other iconic gods and godlikes Makes sense there's be multiple Bahaumats and Tiamats Bahaumat and Paladine are both fingers of the same glove, different and separate yet one

BLUES BROTHERS is set in the 1980s and it's full of Nazis

Nazis as the bad guys in a movie are one thing But a RPG setting where Nazis are everywhere, all civilization is run by Nazis, all the players are expected to be from concentration camps or former Nazis and many stories expect players to reluctantly work for Nazis That might be too much It's...

Is your comment really "people upset about slavery in their escapism are being entitled"?

That'd be interesting A setting book paired with an adventure. The summer and fall products. Or the spring setting with an introductory adventure and summer adventure that picks up after Dragonlance feels like it should be the war product, like VAN RICHTEN'S GUIDE TO RAVENLOFT was the horror...

Yes But in Thay they just killed everyone and made it a land of the dead. No slaves, just zombies

Where is it's slavery detailed in the Eberron book? Is it? Reads like a cult against death and focused on undeath in the latest book. Seems like they changed that, and there's the good)ish) Seekers of the Divinity Within What page mentions slaves? That adventure also features entirely evil...

Yes, it is just me and my army of fifty sockpuppets across the internet, twitter, reddit

But there are no Nazis In what 5e book do they mention Thay slaves? (Didn't they do away with those in 4th Ed?) And there's a HUGE difference between one nation out of thirty that is on he far end of the world using slaves and every single city-state and civilized nation using slaves and most...

Every single conversation online about Dark Sun eventually descends into a conversation about the portrayal of slavery and forced breeding Why would WizCo want to bring that up and make that the focus of every single news article discussing their forthcoming product? That's begging for negative...

WizCo doesn't currently publish any pulp games or use Nazis Two reasons The first is it's easy for DMs to make you work for the slavers. Sometimes you need to do quests for the people in charge, which would be the Sorcerer-Kings. Not every campaign can be set in Tyr The second is it's...

It would be easy to remove gully dwarves, kender and similar problematic elements from Dragonlance Effortless Removing slavery from Dark Sun is a little harder

Keywords being "peak" and "back in the day" That peak was twenty-five years ago. Maybe thirty Half of the DnD audience wasn't even born then. And 75% wasn't old enough to read Dragonlance during the peak And of the remaining 25% that are old enough to remember Dragonlance, what percentage...

That would be an awesome pact A great wyrm patron But instead we're getting another ranger pet option and a draconic monk

They did a straight-up reboot and more for Ravenloft and everyone seemed to love it (and I was repeatedly shouted down on these boards for not being a fan) Most DnD players are new and wouldn't have heard of Dragonlance. They won't know things have changed. And the old fans giving a backlash...

That's not a retcon. It doesn't change or alter what was known That's an addition. It adds new lore As for good draconians, less evil ones started appearing in mid-2nd Ed in 1996 https://dragonlance.fandom.com/wiki/The_Doom_Brigade Written by the setting's co-creator With PC rules four years...

Assuming gem dragons get similar pages to the chromatics and metallics, that's 15 pages That's 75 to 85 new dragon monsters Even using older editions, is there enough?

Given the dislike for orcs and drow as inherently evil there's no way they're keeping that And all draconians were created during the war by the same process

They didn't limit the monsters in the back half of VOLO'S or MORDENKAINEN'S 100 pages of new dragons, half-dragons, drakes and dragon-adjacent creatures is... 🥱
