Wouldn't surprise me if Wizards' settlement with LaNasa had a clause to the effect of "Keep our name out of your filthy mouth you degenerate", which would probably prevent him from bringing it up during the sale.

Nothing wrong with large horny tieflings. Wait, that came out wrong... Anyway, here's the picture of a tiefling from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (2001): And this is from Races of Destiny (2004): And the Planar Handbook (2004): So, quite a diverse bunch. I think the popular idea...

For values of "quickly" that include "14 years later." Planescape was released in 1994, and 4e where tieflings got a more-or-less similar appearance in 2008. Huh? I don't think I'd call these "ugly" per se. It's a rather distinct aesthetic, but one a lot of people appreciate. It should also be...

My understanding is that the reason they wanted to streamline tieflings was to give them a common visual identity for miniatures, which they were focusing pretty heavily on at the time.

That's not entirely true, particularly not for casters, but it's not very well explained in the book. The descriptions of the different encounter difficulty levels are: Michael Sayre talked here about how the expectation was three encounters per day (which is why most class spell lists top out...

They are collectively brainwashed/indoctrinated. Basically, Ajax (the implied setting's Big Bad) has gotten access to alien "Body Banks" tech – a way to recycle living beings. This is partially used for medical purposes, as a way to reward the elite, but primarily it is used to create...

I don't have Daggerheart so I can't compare the two, but in Draw Steel your kit is your whole combat equipment loadout. So you decide on the Mountain kit, for example, which includes heavy armor and a heavy (two-handed non-reach) weapon. Is that weapon a greatsword, a greataxe, a huge hammer, or...

September 11666, 1993, to be precise.

I think my issue with it is that it presumes that character creation, including background, is something done in isolation. As in "We're playing Draw Steel on Wednesday, bring a 1st level character, none of the weird ancestries." And I get how that might vibe with Matt's general ethos of "stop...
