    She has an invisible skateboard, that’s why she always appears to be floating.

    Initially, they were descended from any lower planes creature. It was 4e that connected them all to Asmodeus, so it could give them a uniform copywritable appearance. And yes, it was reversed mid 5e 2014. Did your really miss that?

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    The thing about BG3 is it forms pretty much a "first hand" experience of the Forgotten Realms. If you have played it you feel you have been there and know what it's like. And millions of people have played BG3. Mentioning gith, who were pretty obscure and unpopular as PCs prior to BG3, suggests...

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    Because the 2014 versions remain current until an updated version is released. So there is a lot of pressure for WotC to issue new versions of anything someone might want to play before people stat to become angry that they have to buy an outdated book in order to play X. This pushes completely...

    D&D General In 2025 FR D&D should PCs any longer be wary of the 'evil' humanoids?

    I played a chaotic good half ogre back in 1st edition. I've always seen PCs as a band off misfits who would be treated with suspicion even if they were all human. But how others react to a PC's species is a matter for the world builder, not the rules. And that's not really changed. What has...

    I think it’s because people eat them when they are pretending to be posh, and French sounds posher. I do like mangetout though, but hate regular peas. And mushy peas are worse than green slime.

    You mean it's not a reference to tiny peas served in the pod?! If you are using names of meta-significance you have to consider if your audience will pick up on the reference; if you want them too, or if you want it to remain a private joke. This one, would have passed a lot of people by I...

    I created a supervillain called The Procrastinator, but I never got round to running that game.

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    Warforged are already everywhere in D&D for “sentient construct” PC. As with dwarves and elves it’s better to have one Uber version of sentient construct which can be fluffed to suit the setting.

    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Yeah, that's why they should have stuck to their guns with Athas being totally destroyed. Back in the 90s, there was still some hope.

    I would make these the same as small warforged (which were supposed to be out by now).

    D&D General All known sales of Dungeons & Dragons video games

    NWN is mostly an easy to use toolset. The campaign it shipped with was painfully bad. Which at least makes it an example of how not to write a CRPG narrative.

    Alien Resurrection is an entertaining enough movie (as is Romulus). Not great, but not 3 (or Prometheus or Covenant) terrible either.

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    Yeah, it’s not like they are going to give a detailed description of every settlement on Abeir. A system level overview, plus a couple of key “space” locations like the githyanki crèche in the Tears of Selune.

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    Most WotC adventures have alternative suggestions for locations. Someone may want to teach some people how to play, then continue the campaign in the Forgotten Realms. Anyway, KotB started out setting agnostic, then moved to Mystara, and only moved to Greyhawk after that.
