Good to see one of the most hated aspects of Planescape (its propensity to poke its nose in other settings) is making a comeback! Next thing they'll say Tiamat is Takhisis......

The amount of 2e product was insane.

Novels were consistently more profitable for TSR than RPG material.

This is true but as a counterpoint have you considered that you are an old grandpa, dude?

Enjoy your remote deletion of your D&D library I guess?

If it’s on your own hard drive I would call this physical ownership, since you physically own the storage mechanism.

Let’s say it again for those in the back. Digital ownership is not real ownership. If you can’t hold it in your hands, you don’t own it,

Is Dalamar a drow who lives underground and “raids the surface folk”? Is Mordenkainen a drunken womaniser? Not outside of these stories they aren’t. The Dalamar one is particularly egregious.

Yes they were written by Ed Greenwood and notorious for how out of character Mordenkainen and Dalamar (not Raistlin) were as well as getting basic facts about their home settings wrong.

That’s less about deliberate divergence than D&D bring terrible at representing anything even close to a historical religion.

No, but he’s effectively portrayed as Satan. So I wonder why they don’t just call him that. It’d be like having a Character called Moses who is 100% Jesus in every conceivable way.

There’s way more historical evidence for a person named Jesus than Thor. Mythicists are pseudo historians.

Very weird to have spells with biblical origins, magic items based on relics and demons and devils from Abrahamic theology but a complete refusal to consider the religion they all come from…

Say goodbye to Asmodeus…

Ah yeah no he didn’t. WotC decided to connect it. Baker can’t stop him. He’s on several occasions say he would prefer it unconnected but it’s not his call. He pointedly states “his” Eberron is not in a multiverse.

Is that why you think people play in Eberron and Dragonlance?

Ah yes nothing matters etc yes we get it,

I have the opposite problem with midjourney. Keeps giving rounded ears even with elf, elvish, pointy ear etc as prompt

It’s a horrific thing they’ve done. Just listen to how pained Keith Baker sounds when people talk about how Eberron is linked to other settings. It messes with the fire conceits and themes of the settings but that sorta stuff doesn’t seem to matter I guess.
