There was a drug fuelled monk in Pillars of Eternity, but it was called something setting-specific like Naspaca. Stoner Monk?

The fix everything that remains part or the 2025 rules on the technicality of not having an updated version book*. *May not be the actual title.

I’m just agreeing with most of the other posters - it has zero unique selling points. It just does generic well. It’s a little more modern than Greyhawk and FR, but that’s more vibe than anything tangible, and it’s not more modern than Eberron, Golarion or Netir Vale. I’m pretty sure someone...

Personally, I think they should have just said 4e FR never happened, because all that FR stuff was absolutely terrible*. Attempting to integrate it just makes everyone unhappy. *and I mean objectively. I’ve never been one for setting purity, my game, my setting, even if I use something...

BG3 also had a bunch of doppelgängers, not all of whom were killed.

D&D does though. Conan has Atlantis and lost civilisations capable of building megastructures. The Forgotten Realms is quite unusual in that it’s main lost civilisation was magic based rather than tech based. The technology level of Numanor isn’t spelled out, but the navy it sends to attack...

Point: those tropes (at least with regards to things like how people dressed) were not specifically US. The tropes were the same in the UK and elsewhere. The existence of extensive farmland around Baldur’s Gate and the like has long been assumed. And not all European cities were built like that...

You thinking of Blackmoor? That's a very common fantasy trope. It's in Conan and Lord of the Rings for a start!

Biased poll is biased. Unintentionally no doubt, designing a fair poll is hard. It's one of the things I've taught on occasion (it's on the GCSE Maths syllabus). It's clear that the OP believes that there should have been a radical 6e and worded all the responses so that they would all reflect...

Talking of which, did you ever see the 1950s British TV Robin Hood?

Which don’t seem to differ in any significant way to someone from the UK. Gygax and co from Wisconsin - yeah, you can see some religion based cultural assumptions. But Canadian looks pretty much indistinguishable from British.

The is a non-evil Red Wizard party member in Masks of the Betrayer.

Cane sugar is rather less harmful than corn syrup.

It's inspired by Lankhmar, but its a lot more London. Pratchett's time playing D&D was before the Greyhawk setting was released, so not really that. It's "culture" is generic. It has no specific cultural details.

I’ve been through every edition of D&D, and 5e, although not perfect, is by far the best. I wouldn’t consider it worth checking out a significantly different version. Especially since I’m bored with D&D’s generic fantasy, and long for other genres in my role play. It’s only liking the ruleset...

I've used Exandria stuff without being a fan of Critical Role, and I will support what most of the others are saying. It's just a well designed high quality generic D&D setting. I ran the Call of the Netherdeep campaign. As an adventure, it's not very good, but as a supplemental setting book it...

All major ports are diverse - with the diversity increasing the longer the port has existed. Shakespeare wrote two plays about diversity 370 years before Ed Greenwood, and set them in Venice. The Sword Coast ports are oceanic. The Moonsea ports are Great Lake ports. London, as part of a nation...

Where is the “no” option?

Whilst that was the problem with Halo, I don’t Warcraft go far enough for that to matter. It was the more-fake-than-children’s-toys weapons and shields that killed any suspension of disbelief before it got to the point where the plot mattered.

Neverwinter is warmer than it's latitude suggests, due to the weird effect of a nearby volcano. So it's warmer than Stockholm. Lubeck was the largest city in the Hanseatic league, and thus might be the closest equivalent to Waterdeep, although a lot of the art I've seen seems more suggestive of...
