They managed to avoid talking about Planeswalkers in Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, but I think that will be harder in Mythic Odysseys of Theros. I mean how do you explain where Thassa's Bident went, or how Heliod got stuck in the Underworld, or the now dead God of Revels, Ashiok like at...

Well if I remember right their is some kind of mid battle ability that triggers, that changes things and even goes with flavour text the DM reads out to the players. That's the big thing that I remember.

A better reason to spread your faith, out of selfless love, building a relationship with a God or Gods benifits the worshippers. As for Clerics it's a skill, to atune yourself to a God's essence well enough that you drink in their freely offered holy divine light like a plant drinks in sun...

Since this is evovling towards a theological discussion I will point out that Polytheology is a very diverse field. You have Hard Polythiests, you have Soft Polythiests, and everything in between. You have Henadic Platonist Theology/Philosophy, Post Modern Polytheology, you have literalist...

Actually at least in FR they are the source of Reality, at least in part, because when a God dies or the Gods are forced into the mortal world by an Overgod reality itself begins to break down. Kill the Goddess of Magic and the Sundering happens, imprsion the God of Death and folks stop dyinga...

That is a matter of option, it still matters to a lot of folks and setting fans. Creators that don't take it seriously split fan bases and alienate large parts of their market/fan bases and come of uncaring. I have seen this happen many times. I'm not a Star Wars fan at all, second least...

Option 5. All the MtG Planes are in a special crystal sphere which is filled with the blind eternities, and demiplanes are embedded in such as Ravnica, Theros, Zendikar, Amonket, Innistrad, Ikoria, Eldraine. They float around in the Blind Eterinites like the planes of Eberron do in it's...

Except without Planeswalkers and Eldrazi the history of these planes have huge gapping holes and don't make sense. Plus it would functional mean there are two seperate Ravnicas, two Theros', two Zendikars, two Amonkets, ect... an MtG one and a D&D one with seperate but wierdly similar...

No because it's going to increasing create lore and mechanics problems. Ignored problems just fester.

Back on topic I still say the outstanding issue is reconciling the D&D cosmology with the MtG cosmology. The default assumption rules of the PHB, MM, and DMG and most other rule books are that I am playing in the default D&D multiverse. If I'm playing a Satyr in Theros, which are fey and...

So basically if a company just sits on an IP for 6 or 7 years it shifts to public domain? I'd extend it to a full 10 years, a decade seems reasonable, then it shifts into the public domain early (eventually all the D&D settings will become public domain, it's just a matter of time already)...

Methinks this had more to do with BG3 then an incoming AP.

There is also the possibility that a traditional D&D setting could get the MtG treatment, while releasing a setting book.

Ikoria would make for a better Monster Manuel then a full setting book.

When you really explore religion in D&D there is more depth then one would think, if you know where to look. Still I think so much more could be done with religion in D&D then what they are doing with it, including settings like the Forgotten Realms. Really this is a complex question. There...

Some cool points, for Supernatural Gift you can choose Forged by Purphoros, which makes you a living construct like warforged, except you keep your normal race as well, plus your hand made by a God, so that is awesome. All the Gods each get 5 pages (Theros has 15 Gods still living so that is...

I'm curious what do you mean by this? What is your issue with IP law and how it effects settings?

I don't think Innistrad will be within the next 2 years, I don't think they will do a plane until the card set visits it again. The last one kind of wreck the plane in some ways, Eldrazi have that effect, so I think like with Zendilar they will want to fix the plane/world up, before doing a...

I don't know how long this link will work for, I hate twitch, wish they just used used YouTube live streaming. Anyway alot of interesting stuff here, soooo much good stuff.

I hope they do a sequel book to this based upon the Dionysiaca the way Odyssey of the Dragonlord is inspired by the Odyssey and Illiad. It's about the invasion of India by Greek Gods and Mythological Creatures, where they go up against East Indian Gods. The Ancient Epic Poem is as big as the...
