    D&D General Why a PETITION: Stop Hasbro's hurtful content is a Bad Idea

    Ylaruam is a strange one because it was part of the early 'fill in the blank' design focus TSR dabbled with. It gives the culture of the Ylari, but no details on cities, NPCs, hardly any crunch at all. Players were supposed to decide if the Sultan was a good guy or bad guy, and make the vizier...

    If you wanted to approach altering the book and still appeal to the old time fans then just go with a tonal shift. It was created during the TSR silly phase. Ethengar presents Mongol themed humanoids copying the human culture there seriously and that book is considered one of the better...

    The dragon guy turned out to be a total Mary Sue. It was trapped in the human form surroundedbye hes adopted people. He was told that he was destined for greatness And then pretty much had everything handed to him including the power armor that let him take down dragons. The books were boring...

    The novels were god awful. The authors weren't given much in the way of source material and the stories were just summaries of the setting. What hurt Mystara was the death of becmi. It was still selling, bur management only wanted one line. And Buck Rogers. The 2nd edition Mystara was all...

    It's punishment by the gods. If you don't worship them or believe in them they weld you to a wall in the afterlife.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    They could just slap a 'mature' rating on the setting and market it to an older audience. Fury Road dealt with a lot of the same issues that Dark Sun focused on, and it's beloved. The biggest issue Dark Sun will have isn't the theme of the game, but 5E is a poor fit for it mechanically. 5E is...

    It's complicated. Mystara was one of the best-selling settings under TSR because it was the one that got all the foreign language translations. The Japanese version is the stuff of legends because it was the one that had the anime art and later got turned into Lodoss War. According to Frank...

    When they announced the guild opening for older settings. He's always been big on continuing the Voyage of the Princess Ark stories, but when he approached them directly the response was less than positive. So he went and wrote Calidar. He's still active with the Mystara communities, but he's...

    Unfortunately, they burned him pretty badly when he inquired when the Guild went live. Don't know what was said exactly, but he came back insulted and washed his hands of it.

    The black orcs aren't even based on a real world culture. Thar dresses them in a uniform based on the Thyatian empire. Their name comes from the color of their clothing.

    Trying to find the discontinued garlic chili Ramen flavor for my daughter who apparently can't live without it I have to say that argument makes a lot of sense

    That would be the logical choice. They used Holloway as the principle artist and its hard not to go silly with his style. Granted nobody did facial expressions as well as that man. Mystara is about fantasy versions of real world cultures. Only picking out the ones that depict minorities is a...
