I was thinking more Sword Coast since that's mostly all that's been covered in 5e's timeline advancements so far. Anauroch is back to being a desert again after Netheril's brief return ... but deserts are always PoL what with their little oases separated by vast stretches of nothingness. We...

I know they're something of a retcon, but I like the DOTs / Exocomps that were introduced in Discovery or SNW. The little maintenance / repair droids that help keep the starships running and fix all the battle damage and such in between starbase visits. That helps fill a gap and explain how...

That may be the case now, but it certainly was more of a PoL setting before 2e and 3e filled in all the blanks. 4e's Spellplague and one hundred year time jump was intended to take it back to a more PoL vibe. Of course, with 5e they "undid" a lot of the 4e changes while continuing to advance the...

Yes, and let's not forget that WotC even brought those guys back for the Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure, in which you can meet members of the League of Malevolence (Kelek, Skylla, Warduke, etc) and Valor's Call (Strongheart, Ringlerun, Mercion, etc).

LOL. Andor was originally going to be 5 seasons, but they decided that wasn’t going to work, so they truncated it down to one second season consisting of four parts with one year time jumps in between.

What happens next is Rogue One ... and then A New Hope. There won't be a third season of Andor.

She does!

They're advancing the timeline to 1501 DR. They may functionally restore various bits to their original portrayals in the old grey box, but they aren't going to pretend like nothing has happened in the intervening centuries. I mean, none of the NPCs they've put on the covers of the new FR books...

Regdar showed up in some 4e art, usually getting killed in one way or another. I'm not sure if any of the other 3e iconics showed up in later editions, though. I think WotC mostly just wanted new characters for each new edition. I don't think they had any iconics specific to 4e. With 2014...

They might be merely instinctual when they’re not possessed by a Vezda spirit! That wouldn’t explain the instant antagonism, though, unless the Gorn have come to resent the Vezda. I can’t wait to find out more! EDIT: it’s just occurred to me that the Vezda are basically intellect devourers...

Ah. I missed that. Thanks.

Questions I'm still pondering: What was that device Spock was holding in front of his face that enabled him to see the orbs in the well? Why couldn't he see them without the device? The answer to this second question is likely that they were in a different dimension or whatever - but if that is...

I know the feeling. I'm teetering on the edge. I'm not sure if these books in particular will push me in one direction or the other, though. It's more likely to be the now-delayed Eberron book that does that (since I am currently only running a campaign in that setting).

I don’t get this one. Would someone mind explaining it to me?

Yeah, at the start of the episode, Christine asks La’an how Spock feels about Roger being there. I don’t think she’d ask that if Korby had been on the Enterprise ever since he first showed up. It seems clear to me that they picked him up on route to the dig.

The late 15th century PDKs weren't either, though. Like, the 2014 FR is set in the 1490s. The new 2025 FR is 1501. That's less than a decade later. And there's nothing the PDKs teaming up with amethyst dragons in the SCAG or any other 5e book that mentions them. So this change is either brand...

Didn't Scotty survive by putting himself long-term in the transporter pattern buffer as well?

Yeah, I remembered that scene of Pugsley shocking Professor Orloff after I posted that. But even the Harry Potter films show kids going to class right up until Hogwarts is besieged. It also feels like this season is skipping over larger amounts of time than the first season did. Like Thing made...

Good observations. I can't imagine he started from scratch, though. He'll have many layers on his working file, one of which is probably an outline of the land masses and islands. (I bet that working file is ginormous!)

Didn't like it in Fizban's, and I don't like it here either.
