    D&D 5E (2014) Setting Idea: Bronze Age Utopia

    Not only that, utopias are deadly boring and impossible. Unless this utopia is created through tons of mental magic to make everyone fit into its particular system.

    D&D 5E (2014) List the Third-Party 5th Edition Campaign Settings

    Here is setting for both D&D 5e & Pathfinder 1e, from Richard Knaak: Rex Draconis. It seems to be going for a Dragonlance theme, for those who want something like Dragonlance but in modern editions. Even features what're essentially porcupine kender called "kwillum": And an early adventure...

    Do most magic scrolls in D&D make mention of their worth in currency on them?

    D&D General d&d is anti-medieval

    But. then how do you know what scrolls are worth what? How much does "Scroll of X" compare in value to "Scroll of Y"? That's not any better than a barter economy. Heck it's probably even worse.

    D&D General d&d is anti-medieval

    Well isn't the issue that most of the stuff that is more "magic in shops" are located in cities that are often quite distant in travel from the farming villages in the middle of nowhere that we sometimes see adventures in? Like to use Forgotten Realms as an example, are shops that sell magical...

    D&D General d&d is anti-medieval

    X-Men is not an example to ever point to. If anything, the X-Men are supremecists who act like a cult and are only oppressed because writers have to pretend the group running around in dangerous battles and blowing stuff up, while lying to parents where their kid is going are victims of some sort.

    D&D General d&d is anti-medieval

    Except the issue seems to be that the vast, vast, vast majority of peasant types don't become wizards or whatever. Instead they often stay at their farms or villages because they have no real ability or even a spark of magic in them. And just because an adventurer kills a dragon or whatever...

    D&D General d&d is anti-medieval

    I'm wondering what is the point of the article in the first place. Most gamers already know most standard medieval fantasy settings aren't historically accurate and all that. It's kind of obvious. I mean this may have been useful seversl decades ago but nowadays just feels like a waste of an...

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] Dragonlance: Legends of the Twins

    I always throught tbe authors were more trying to say that the ends don't justify the means. Like just becsuse the Kingpriest thought he was doing good doesn't mean he actually was. Like how lots of atrocities in history have been performed by people who genuinely believed they were going to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bringing a Real World Character to a Fantasy World

    Most of those are due to the fact they were adoptions of webnovels. So they were easy to pick up because everything was already written down. Like imagine your own original fiction where your SI lands in some medieval European fantasy setting. And then it gets picked up some company to publish...
