    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    Yeah don't get me started on people from the same culture having diametrically opposed views on their own culture. It's pretty much every culture I tried to include, and you'll never make everybody happy. There is absolutely no room for nuance in that situation. You include a tradition common...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    His only demand was don't make the Toa a subclass of barbarian. Keep them light fighters, make use of the haka as an ability, even if it was a fantasy element but make them fighters. This was a common request for the fighter types. The brave was also made a light fighter because the guy that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    When I asked my Pacific Islander friends for help on the Ierendi section, they sent me 30 books that they wanted me to consider for representing them. I tried explaining to them I wasn't going to be able to fit 1000+ pages of information into what was about 8 pages, but I did my best. A few...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    From working on the Mystara Player's Guide, the one thing that was hammered into me by the playtesters was people want their legends told. I would focus on that. Not everything has to have a counterpart, but keep the themes. Beowulf, Maui, Aladdin, King Arthur, keep those in mind when...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    This was mostly done in jest. Reaching isn't the right word, this is stretching like Reed Richards. I have no faith that Mystara gets any attention from WOTC outside of brief mentions. They are avoiding real-world allegories which was Mystara's focus. They have 5 Spains, 4 Romes, 3 Indias...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    We noticed. They noticed he was a shadow elf and made him shadar kai, when Mystaran shadow elves are more like cave fish, naive, badly led and highly religious TN cave fish.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    They put it in our gazetteer. We'll take it. It's about all we'll probably get. Was joking about the kobold. In Mystara they resemble a cross between a dog and an armadillo.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mystara in new edition confirmed

    Ierendi is the fourth nation in the Gazetteer line, an island chain south of the mainland. That makes this Mystara art, though not sure who the tiny lizardmen are supposed to be. Maybe evil Caymas?

    WotC New D&D survey from WotC as part of the 50th anniversary year.

    I know we could have handled the Magic the Gathering problem without having to resort to the Pinkertons, but I like the personal touch you can only get from Hired Goons.

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do you Play BECM/RC D&D? How Was/Is It?

    It's a smashing book with some lovely art that I wrote over the course of several years. Far superior to any other classic setting guide for 5e dnd as determined by science. Tried to come up with new takes on the races and avoided the just add spells mentality that took over 5e's approach to...
