@Levistus's_Leviathan offered a poster leave to revive this thread, and the context implied that it wasn’t limited to that poster. My apologies if I assumed wrongly. 1. The Wind of Dreams 2. Undeath 3. The Divine Mystery

This straddles the line between lore and theory, but it’s just plain weird how things match up: Strahd is noted as the first vampire. The Sunless Citadel is listed in Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons as a place that echoes across many of the worlds derived from the First, implying that it existed...

As someone outside looking in when it comes to Dragonlance, I want to take a questionably educated guess: So we have the Kingpriest. He wants to make a world of pure good. At first this seems like an awesome idea help by the fact that his philosophy of what that means is derived from a god...

I admit that most of the time I pick race completely on a whim. The exception was my Reborn character, who I played like a robot man slowly learning how to have feelings and stuff.

A curated group of “natural” peoples with the rest available as mutants and anomalies.

Yep, some of my favorite horror stories attest to that.

Not usually a fan either, but I can see it working if creatures born from people’s minds are a significant element of the setting. If gods are born from belief, then it stands to reason that enough children believing in monsters under their beds would end up creating these bed-lurking entities.

Haven’t played them, but Runequest and Mythras have a separate combat system for exorcising spirits.

“Now we’ll reveal the true culprit!” Rips Solamic mustache off of all five of Takhisis’ heads “Gasp Tiamat!?”

Obviously I can’t read FrogReaver’s mind, but I see something that might have been his point. If we want to say racism is objectively bad (which it is!), then we can’t suddenly metamorphose into moral relativists when it comes to determining what is or isn’t racism. Regarding the topic at hand...

How I would play this is that the Kingpriest’s apotheosis was succeeding and he was on the cusp of becoming the god of self-righteousness, who would lead all of Krynn right to Baator under the delusion they were doing Celestia’s work. By the time the Soth idea failed, the Kingpriest was simply...

Another high fantasy fan here. Whatever the h*ck Omori and End Roll are (heavily symbolic psychological horror with heavy “maybe mundane, maybe magical” elements). Whatever the h*ck Angel Beats is (seriously, I have no clue).

A dwarf’s true beard is on the inside, not the outside. Okay, to actually contribute slightly, I cannot get over how crisp that image of the knights is. It’s no wonder Wizards is showing it off all over the place.

Listen, Women who join the Knights of Somalia have mustaches on their souls, which is what really matters.

I like some parts of the Outer Planes, but overall they feel to, well, physical to be the underlying spiritual reality. I practice, how different are they really from the Material Plane? I have the “Divine Realm”, which anyone who visits can barely describe. They’re equal parts Outer Planes...

I like them. Not much else to say besides that I just noticed that the dwarf has glasses.

There around, you’re not tripping over them, but you probably “know a guy who knows a guy”. The important thing to note is that the proportion of different types of spellcasters can vary enormously from region to region. What type of magic a tribe or nation practices is a huge part of their...

Now that I think about it, my largest city could go for a few million. Mostly because it’s the gathering place for the undead and thus needs little in the way of food. Among the living, Vanalesse at its height could hold a million, but now it’s a home to beasts, demons, and scavengers.

It seems pretty clear that the corruption spread past just the Priestking into Ishtar as a whole and threatened to consume all Krynn. I don’t know about you, but if I suddenly ended up in the Upper Planes (if I’m lucky) or the Outlands (more likely), and asked what the h*ck I’m doing here, I’d...

I’m in favor of making the Dark Powers vincible, but also think it should take more than just going over to them and beating them up.
