    Voidrunner Let’s unbox an actual Voidrunner’s Codex!

    Oh! My mistake. I thought it was because of the overlap of some design choices. Like the classes all getting their archetypes at 3rd. Sorry to misrepresent!

    Voidrunner Let’s unbox an actual Voidrunner’s Codex!

    "Well Enough" A5e is based on the 2014 edition of 5e D&D and builds out from that premise. Tales of the Valiant is largely based on the 2024 edition of 5e D&D and builds out from that premise. But since you can play a 5e game with 2014 and 2024 content side by side, you can play a game with...

    Alpha Star Magazine Get Ready for Alpha Star Magazine!

    I'm super eager for Alpha Star... I've got a ton of Sci-Fantasy design thoughts. And with my health turning around? I'm eager to finish Martial Artistry and get in on the ground floor!

    Level Up (A5E) Crystalpunk classes in A5E

    I don't have a copy of Crystalpunk. What is the core concept of the Evolutionist and Soulshaper concepts?

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    You just gave me the coolest City of Heroes character name I now possess. Gonna make a trans warrior priestess given divine powers in the modern day by an ancient Scythian goddess and tasked with protecting her people and making war upon Rikti, Praetorians, Shivans, and other aliens from...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeah. That's just some reactionary whackadoo trying to play on important historical figures for his own self aggrandizement. This is, like, some straight up Ozymandias levels of self-delusional BS.

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Oh, sure. I was just giving that example because the first writing in the world includes trans people, and the corollary among the Israelites highlights the "Abrahamic" thing that was mentioned. That there have always been trans people, even in cultures where we don't imagine there were trans...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Ask Ed? He clearly has no problem answering questions online. Maybe he'll even upload a scan of the contract... No guarantees, obviously. Point is: He made a claim. And based on what I know about selling rights to property, whether Real Estate or Intellectual, it's a sound claim.

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Oh, I don't imagine anything slipped his mind. It just becomes a multipart equation: 1) How much, if any amount, will Ed Greenwood demand for that right to be purchased? 2) How much, if any amount, is WotC willing to spend for that right to be purchased? 3) How important is the Forgotten...

    So... here's a thing I learned in Real Estate: When you sell something, you can sell it conditionally, and you can sell it piecemeal. If I own a home I can sell the prospecting rights under the house without selling the home. I can sell the airspace rights above it without selling the home...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Historically, there were a -ton- of trans and gender nonconforming people recognized in Mesopotamia. In Ur, during the reign of Sargon of Akkad, Enheduanna wrote a poem of the goddess Inanna in order to syncretize her with the deity Ishtar of her native Ashur. (Enheduanna is Sargon's daughter...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    Oh, I don't think it's ridiculous to invent cultures with specific conceptions of trans identities or whatever, at all. I would run games in those settings if I liked the settings, and mercilessly steal stuff for my own games if I liked aspects but not the setting itself. Same thing with unique...

    D&D General Transgender Drow are Canon in Forgotten Realms! Woo!

    This is an interesting thought experiment but utterly pointless. Gender exists in D&D worlds in the exact same way every other word we use in D&D games does. If a player plays a transgender character, every term they use to describe it exists in that setting along with that character. We don't...
