IIRC, 4e applied it to all of the settings. Even Eberron’s planes were organized into World Axis style groupings and the Shadowfell and Feywild were added to Dark Sun.

My first introduction to D&D and Forgotten Realms cosmology was the 5e Great Wheel. After learning about the World Axis, I can say that it’s easily my favorite cosmology for the Forgotten Realms. The Great Wheel just has too much redundancy and grid-filling. Also I don’t like alignment, so a...

You can hate both. I hate both the algorithm for incentivizing clickbait and terrible videos and people that do that instead of making quality content. There are tons of channels that make good videos without engaging in this sort of clickbait and still make money from them. Could you please...

I personally don't want to post in the threads of people I have ignored and don't understand why others would in most cases.

I once blocked someone for harassing me and purposefully seeking out my threads in order to threadcrap and sabotage the discussions because of their vendetta against me. I have this particular member on 2 way ignore because I don’t want them engaging with my posts and force me to engage with...

Most are from Greyhawk. Some of the iconic D&D spells (magic missile, shield, etc) have in-world creators in the Forgotten Realms.

This is a homebrew religion I've been working on for over a month. It's definitely the most in-depth fantasy religion I've ever made and I took inspiration from a lot of real world religions to make it. The main influences were Mandaeism and other Gnostic religions, but there is a large amount...

Creator of the original Fallout has a spoiler review of the series. He liked it.

Yes, we have quite a few (27), but a new one hasn’t been ratified in over 3 decades. The Equal Rights Amendment hasn’t been ratified yet and it passed both houses of congress in 1972. It is pretty fantastical to imagine such an amendment passing in the modern political climate in America. But...

It was originally just tradition to only serve 2 terms because of Washington, but there were presidents that did try for a 3rd term (Ulysses S. Grant, Teddy Rosevelt). FDR was the first to succeed, and the constitution was changed to prevent that from happening again. It would take a...

“Elfgame,” in my experience, is not used to shut down serious discussions of TTRPGs. From what I’ve seen, it’s very much the opposite, shutting down people over-reacting about minor lore/canon changes, accusing WotC of hating older gamers for nonsensical reasons, and stuff like that. You know...

I don’t know the circumstances that you feel “elfgames” has been offensive to you, so I can’t make a statement on your particular issue with the phrase. Unless you say which specific cases made you feel this way, I can only comment on how it and similar phrases are generally used and why I feel...

No. It’s used to dismiss arguments when people are either making a mountain out of a molehill or to explain how another play style is valid by putting things in perspective. And there are definitely equivalents in other hobbies used for similarly valid reasons. Like when people say “it’s just...

@payn, this isn’t a spoiler thread, so maybe you should use spoilers in your post?

They explain this later.

I finished the series already. I really enjoyed it. Definitely falls into the camp of good video game adaptations along with the Last of Us, Arcane, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

And it’s kinda silly to be debating this when the Eberron books very explicitly state that Warforged do have souls.

I wholly agree. I was just correcting some of the misconceptions of the post I was quoting.

Just a note, LegalKimchi is a very good youtuber and his video on this topic that was linked earlier is arguing in favor of the inclusion of the wheelchair accessible dungeon. I also recommend his other videos (I just watched the bioessentialism one, and it was very good).

Hygiene is highly dependent on location in the Middle Ages. For example, there were records of Arabs saying that the Vikings were filthy and didn't wash themselves properly. There are also English records saying that it was easy for the Vikings to seduce the wives/daughters of the Anglo-Saxons...
