Back when Tyranny of Dragons was new, and people were raging about how they’d changed the lore on the Cult of the Dragon, I did a deep dive into the older 2e and 3e books, and it turned out that the setup in Tyranny of Dragons was something that actually built off existing lore. The 2e book...

I’ll get to it eventually. Waiting for Steam’s inevitable bargain bin sale price (like 80–90% off).

Sounds like Dungeon of the Mad Mage! Durnan sends you down the well to kill some rats … and Halaster … and everything in between.

The Knights Templar existed for nearly 200 years (1118-1312), to name one example. The Knights Hospitaller, founded in 1113, are still around. They're one of the main ambulance / first aid providers here in New Zealand (St John). The Teutonic Order, founded in 1190, is also still around and...

I agree. So I am curious to see how WotC justifies this team-up.

Since gem dragons aren't in the revised MM, Fizban's is still the authoritative 5e source for information on them. Let's see what that book says about amethyst dragons: Amethyst dragons, the mightiest of the gem dragons, study and psionically manipulate the fundamental principles of the...

The full text from the UA. We don't know what the text for the PDK faction in the book actually says. Yes, there's some art of PDKs with amethyst dragons floating around, so the partnership is probably still going to be a thing, but we don't know any of the details yet.

I don't see any exposed brains, so I doubt those are cranium rats. These are probably 1st level PCs fighting rats being magically controlled by some mini bad guy off-screen. At least they're not fighting the rats in a tavern cellar! ;)

Here, take this packet. You read it. It says, "mangetout." I gave you magic beans. I hope you're gonna get out soon.

The 3.5e book Lords of Madness includes several prestige classes tied to a number of knightly orders opposing the Far Realm and psionic aberrations (the Keepers of the Cerulean Sign, the Society of the Sanctified Mind, and the Topaz Guardians). I wonder if maybe the WotC staffer/s who came up...

I've had Wet Leg's new album, Moisturizer, on repeat lately.

Yes, currently it will be exclusive to DDB. It may make it into future print books, however. EDIT: Actually, I think these DLCs will also be available through Roll20 and the like, so it's more accurate to say they are "digital only" rather than "exclusive to DDB".

FWIW that lore snippet is from the UA. You keep pushing this idea that not wanting X means wanting Y but that's not necessarily the case. You can not want X without really knowing what you do want instead. I do that all the time! I personally wasn't as upset about the lore change as I was...

That’s right! I forgot about that.

Fantastic episode! I like that they’re letting Christina show off her dancing skills* this season, but I’m finding La’an’s attraction to Spock a little weird. I thought she had a thing for Kirk. *Apparently she’s been dancing since she was 4!

There's a little bit more in the SCAG: Zakhara also gets a little blurb: Since the Realms have two Arabian themed areas, I've always taking to thinking of Calimshan as being more like Morocco while Zakhara is more like the Arabian peninsula. Maztica did not get named in the SCAG...

But Cormyr isn't even one of the 5 regions. The Dalelands to the north are, and they're not getting a thematic subclass.

Well, I just think if they'd been clearer that it was an evolution rather than a retcon, perhaps fewer people would have kicked up a fuss.
