Now I am thinking about time-traveling in Athas. Let's imagine a crononaut from the future travels to the past to warn, but the one who listen her warning chooses that can't be avoided and then he kills the time-travel... what if this murderer becomes in a dark lord like Thakok-an? In other...

I am Spanish and here I imagine slaves like characters from a vintage sword&sandal movies. I also missed bariaurs and other new PC species in the update of Planescape. * What if there is a ready protocol to resurrect a SK after this to be killed? Even if Kalak lost a level he would be still a...

Let's keep calm. Before the return of DS we should see more UA articles about new PC races at least. We should worry about a right update of the crunch. The lore is easier to be fixed in our own homemade tabletop game. Maybe we should talk about what changes we would be willing to allow in the...

My last idea is we have been tricked and before the blue age there was the turquoise age, with more oceans than in the green age, but less than in blue age. It ended because there was a divine war and the winner was "Patriarch Ocean". Then the brown tide was caused intentionally to hurt Patriach...

Don't worry, the muls will be renamed mulzhennedar wich means strengh according 4e. Maybe the new name will be mulzhenn If DS is unlocked in DMGuild maybe some titles will be only sketchs and art by freelance artists. I wouldn't blame them. * Other idea is the sorcerer-kings caused something...

The Athasian orcs are the tareks, who "evolutioned" to survive the cleasing wars, like other races. Now I am imaginin the brown tide that caused the end of the blue age wasn't really a true accident, but a sabotage like part of a secret conspirancy by divine powers against "Patriarch Ocean"...

If my memory doesn't fail, I read Brom stopped to work for TSR becuse he was asked to do only DS art. In my game the templars were divine spellcasters. If Vecna wanted to cause troubles in Ravenloft to take revengue against the Dark Powers Kalidnay could be a "weak point" where to attack. And...

I doubt seriously the metaplot to be touched to avoid the rage of the fandom or continuity incoherences linked to future projects. I imagine something like Dungeon #110 with some pages explaining the different state-cities. Now I imagine something like the blighter prestige class from the...

Some players want their campaing to be grimmdark, others only dark in the begining but more hope in the end, and more one is willing to a bittersweet, where the evil is defeated but with a great sacrifice and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Now I am thinking about an ooze monster from 3.5...

I had forgotten now aasimar should appear in DS 5+e Fiends can be summoned in Athas. Maybe even created their own continents in other continents because they don't need organic food or water. I was thinking about the martial adept crusader (3.5 Tome of Battle) class working like a templar...

I wonder about the gorgon/medusa as PC specie but I like the idea from Eberron to "nerf" the petrifying gaze.

Who could "live" in the other continents where the biosphere has been totally destroyed and there aren't organic food? In the Death Lands only undead or creatures inmune to necrotic damage. Maybe Athas is the perfect place to hide if you are an exiled "noble house" from an infernal plane...

In Ravenloft the evil ones are more powerful but they suffer their own curses and punishments. If you behave well only for the reward or punishment then you aren't really a good person but like a tamed dog. Heroism is when you choose to do the right instead the easy. The preserver and defiler...

Star Wars is a good example of how a franchise allows space for multiple spin-off but next to this the region of Tyr is like a sitcom where all the action happens between four rooms. Some players would rather the setting to be grimmdark always, but others want to be only in the begining until...

We can't forget the possible secrets of the Pristine Tower. Maybe this is the cause of "new" PC species or monsters appearing in Athas. I guess the best option for the metaplot would be to tell a couple of clues and the own fandom will invent a lot of ideas about what could happen in the...

If the setting is too linked to the big bad guys then it is a wrong design because it is too linked to the metaplot, like in Dragonlance. If the PCs can't kill the sorcerer-kings because this has to happen according the metaplot and the novels then we haven't enough creative freedom. Here the...

Somebody wants to follow the continuity and the metaplot, others would rather to be the heroes who killed the sorcerer-kings forgoting the canon of the novels, and more one player would like to add his personal touch, for example adding the totemist shaman (magic of incarnum) and the ardent...

Mystara had got the lupines.
