But that's still not MCU style. Krynn, Oerth, Athas, and Toril aren't parallels of each other. They're different planets orbiting different stars. Yes, you can reach them by traveling other planes, but you can also reach them by traveling through "space" without ever leaving the material plane...

Yeah, I considered mentioning that aspect in my post but I was mainly thinking about official D&D products, none of which ever feature parallel dimension style stuff (other than parts of Abeir and Toril swapping places during the Spellplague). When WotC talks about the multiverse, they mostly...

The idea that you have to be level 19+ to become a Chosen is weird to me, since there are plenty of examples in previous 5e books no less of random commoners being the Chosen of various gods. I know it was more a thing during the Sundering and the numbers of Chosen have diminished since but...

While I don't necessarily disagree with you, I do feel it's worth pointing out that WotC's idea of a multiverse is different to Marvel's. The MCU's multiverse is more parallel dimensions, where you have multiple versions of Earth and multiple versions of Loki and whatnot. While WotC has snuck...

Or, perhaps, forces opposing Tiamat. Perhaps some of the old school CotD remnants found a way to bring back Sammaster to counter Severin's Tiamat-worshipping faction.

Perhaps there will be some time travel shenanigans. Kinda like how Thanos "came back from the dead" during Endgame.

I reckon the Revenge of the Sith novelization is pretty good. Does a much better job making Anakin's fall feel earned - for instance, the reason he's upset about the council not making him a master in the book is not because he's just being whiny and immature like in the movie but because...

Interesting. I wonder if / how they have explained his return.

Yeah, we've already got Hulu integrated into Disney+ as Star here in NZ as well. In other news, I still only subscribe to D+ but my oldest has recently let me watch some stuff on her Netflix account. Looking forward to watching the new season of Wednesday with my younger two soon.

Honestly, Keiko is one of my faves. I really wish she'd gotten more screen time. Miles is a lovable dork, and their relationship just feels so real to me in the way that many other TV relationships don't. That episode where Miles can see Keiko is unhappy because the school has closed and so he...

I like some music from just about every era. In terms of popular music, I think I tend to listen to stuff from the 70s and 80s or from the 2000s to now more than I listen to stuff from the 90s. I was just trying to point out that the idea of musical taste at least being set in the teenage years...

I've edited my post because I found some of my original posts from 2014. It turns out that the bit about Tiamat's faithful infiltrating Cult of the Dragon cells is from the 2e Cult of the Dragon book. It may have taken longer than Tiamat expected due to the Spellplague, but it seems her church...

Huh. Today I learned that Live put out an album before Mental Jewelry! (EDIT: Actually, it's come back to me now. Yes, the band known as Live put out an album before Mental Jewelry, but it was under their previous name, Public Affection, which is why I tend to think of Throwing Copper as their...

Back when Tyranny of Dragons was new, and people were raging about how they’d changed the lore on the Cult of the Dragon, I did a deep dive into the older 2e and 3e books, and it turned out that the setup in Tyranny of Dragons was something that actually built off existing lore. The 2e book...

I’ll get to it eventually. Waiting for Steam’s inevitable bargain bin sale price (like 80–90% off).

Sounds like Dungeon of the Mad Mage! Durnan sends you down the well to kill some rats … and Halaster … and everything in between.

The Knights Templar existed for nearly 200 years (1118-1312), to name one example. The Knights Hospitaller, founded in 1113, are still around. They're one of the main ambulance / first aid providers here in New Zealand (St John). The Teutonic Order, founded in 1190, is also still around and...

I agree. So I am curious to see how WotC justifies this team-up.
