He also snuck in underage relationships and a guy being married to his adoptive daughter. (go and look at Durnan and Mirt's wives)

Edit: Nevermind, mixed up Chronicles and Legends.

Don't forget "Red Hand of Doom" is set in the Nentir Vale world - making it the very first supplement for that setting.

"Why are you guys so worried about a new edition? It's not like WoTC is going to come into your house and take away your old books."

"future editions" Only 5th edition did that, and its handlings of legacy settings has been abysmal. You do understand that was Weis and Hickman that did that, not the 5th Age designers.

There was way more product (RPG and novel) produced post-Summer Flame than prior to it. Trust me, Dragonlance was dead after two attempted 2E reboots long before DOSF was even released. The "adventure path" for 3E was set in the Age of Mortals! Are you at all familiar with any of the material...

This isn't remotely true. Dragonlance was already moribund in the 2nd edition era as a setting. The SAGA setting was the last attempt to revive it before they licensed it out externally. Under the licensed creators the RPG setting was more vibrant and alive in the early 2000s than it had been...

Glad "someone" decided that, because I have the Goodman version and I disagree. "Amun-Sa" means something, sure, so does "Amun-Ra" or "Amen-Re" or the many different variations. To the shock of no one who understands how language works, most Ancient Egyptian god names are also etymologically...

Just one note here: Greyhawk's Blackmoor was changed to Arn - but that Blackmoor is not the Arneson Blackmoor, it merely shares the names. Blackmoor/Arn in Greyhawk was mostly developed by Wolfgang Baur in the 3E era, and is a place of clockpunk automatons. Mystara's Blackmoor is the Arneson...

I really only buy the short adventure compilations from WoTC - the big campaign books are of no interest to me, too tied to WotC ideas and very badly structured. I especially enjoyed Yawning Portal and Saltmarsh as conversions of the older adventures, saving me a lot of work. For the most part...

Which cultures require the hiring of grifters- sorry, cultural sensitivity consultants, because D&D has been misrepresenting European culture for 50 years.

Sure, but being a "consultant" doesn't make you an expert either. I notice Radiant Citadel brought up - I didn't actually find any of the "appropriate" experts there presenting anything more interesting or creative than guys from the days of yore. Hell, the adventure in Candlekeep Mysteries was...

There's no feather in the hair so its definitely not an Elmore woman.

Lucky we have other posters here to tell us "what it is all about" in a condescending manner, hey? I mean, let's be honest with ourselves. It is a painting of a man. Elmore knew he was painting a man, it clearly looks like a man's body. It was never anything but. But now they've decided "it...

No one, including Elmore (who painted plenty of woman warriors) is saying otherwise?

But now you can finally play your favourite Michelangelo painting on tabletop!

Because he insists he knows what he painted? How dare the guy.

The magical pools in the Weathercote Woods seem to deliberately evoke the Wood between Worlds seen in the Magician's Nephew. EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it.

Both execution and concept are ridiculous and trite. Sort of a "form and meaning reach ultimate communion" situation.
