It's worth noting that when asked specifically about Tiamat being trapped in the 9 Hells, Kobold admits that it is a continuity error with no precedent in previous lore on Tiamat, but that this setup was part of the baseline material given to them by WotC and being contracted out to write the...

Tell me about it. I wrote up Tharizdun's demiplanar prison in 3.x, so it was a shame to see it and the earlier material I built upon ignored. As for these modules, Rich Baker is quite talented, so it really all comes down to how much is imposed by WotC in terms of the setting assumptions. We'll...

Because the Ghost of GSLs Past still rattles its chains. People are waiting to see where the market goes with 5e, success or not. Plus business is still booming with OGL material for PF and not everyone has the time to divide their resources between two systems. Plus people are being polite...

I shy away from Amazon reviews unless they really go into depth and it's clear that they actually read the book in question. There's been a bit of a trend lately with novels receiving 4 and 5 star reviews even before the official release of the book from people receiving free, advance copies.

I suspect that was the point of the 4e changes, and by extension the 5e material that keeps that in play. With the prior and substantial body of lore being largely made irrelevant, it opened up the setting for in-house authors and designers who might not have had the experience and expertise...

*wince* That does not bode well.

Which eladrin are you talking about? The 2e/3.x CG celestial race, or the 4e blink elves? They're quite different.

There's a secret surprise monster and there's also frontmatter from me. I did not create the secret surprise monster however. ;) There are however monsters from me that will appear within the next year, not that I can say what or where at this juncture. *grin*

It doesn't matter if you doubt yourself or think that you don't have the talent to win the contest versus folks that might have written for a 3PP a few times. If it's something that you -want- to win, then you should enter it. At the very minimum the experience will make you better, and if you...

They appeared quite a bit in 3e actually, and had some additional lore written regarding their relationship with Tiamat and the baatezu (they were a collaborative project between Tiamat and Pearza of the Dark 8).

In the continuity of my home Planescape campaign (which starts with post-Faction War Planescape canon and uses none of the 4e lore), I replaced Bel as Lord of the 1st with Zariel as a result of the PCs actions (and collusion with Darius the former Factol of the Signers who was left to rot in her...

Very true, since Tiamat has never been imprisoned in the Realms (or if you assume FR is back within the Great Wheel, Tiamat was never imprisoned there either). Kobold Press was asked about this rather large continuity gaff and stated that they were aware of it not conforming to prior material...

To be fair, they never really said that, though that's what many people wanted to see with 5e. However what little we've seen of the setting in 5e, it doesn't seem like anything remotely like that is actually happening. It's unfortunate to see.

I really wish that we could see a decisive return of the flavor from 2e and its many settings, but there's been IMO something of a real reluctance to fully step back from some of the 4e flavor changes (some of which I can deal with but some of which alter parts of the game's history that I most...

While I'm relatively free-form myself in how I run, the atmosphere and tone of the games of his that I've seen are, well, radically different from mine. As such, I can't really judge his ability. From what I've seen and heard from others, I think he's very skilled, but he's skilled in providing...

My overall opinion is that it's a good game, and that if a friend wanted to run it, I'd play. I can work with it, and there's enough there that makes me smile that I can do my best to ignore the selective points that I take issue with. Pathfinder however remains my D&D'esque game of choice for...

As a big fan of the first two Books of the Damned, and the author of the 3rd, yes, Chronicle of the Righteous is a good book and up to the same standards. IMO. :)

Oh, I'm going about the rehab process pretty hardcore. I've been in discomfort and pain since January (labrum tear, then frozen shoulder), and I have absolutely no desire for this to backslide after going for surgical repair. It's going to really suck getting better, but it will get better. As...

I just had shoulder surgery. I would like to request a fully working arm and a brain not fuzzy from narcotics. As soon as I can type with my right hand I'll start working on something. But that's what's up. Shemmy

Are genasi described as a PC race, and if so how? Ie. 2e/3e genasi, or the bizarre 4e ones? What outsiders are described as being native to the various outer planes, specifically are the 2e/3e celestial eladrin described as natives of Arborea? Are guardinals listed for Elysium? Archons for...
