    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Technically what is being sold is propaganda. All art is propaganda, and if you think the art you like isn't, that's because you've spent the last few decades of your life drinking the Kool aid

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    D&D General An Alexandrian Pantheon for D&D

    NGL I thought this was gonna be about Alexandrian remixes of 5e adventures. A figure you may wanna look into is Hermes Trismegistus, a figure conflated with Thoth, Hermes, Enoch and Idris. A religious scholar I follow recently did a pretty indepth video on him.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    I don't think there's anything new here that we didn't know from UA or convention previews. I wonder if "Silver Marches" exists solely as a geographical term or if it's still considered a polity (much like "Italy" which used to refer to a region before becoming unified).

    D&D General What Are Dragonlance's Weis & Hickman, and Actor Manganiello Cooking Up?

    Remember that Mormon theology, among other things, features gods who live on alien planets and that Native Americans are secretly white Jews who turned brown due to their wickedness, and it's stated that if Natives convert to Mormonism, it's said that they will turn white and blonde-haired.

    I mean if you pay any attention to fashion you know that perms are back with gen Z so it makes perfect sense for a dragonlance reboot

    The demarcation point between those two is called "The Hickman Revolution" by some scholars; when dungeons and the adventures around them became less about "a bundle of mechanics containing loot" and became "a showcase of interactive cultural tropes used with game mechanics to tell a story."...

    I was under the impression the Mythal still needed some physical support structure

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    What are those gigantic metallic things that are stretching over the ruins of Myth Drannor? I've had some people say they're part of the mythal of the city, others say they're ruined parts of Thultanthar.

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    Man is a political animal. Any time two humans interact, and convey an idea from one brain to another, they are engaging in politics. The existence of the internet, a BBS, a TTRPG and the English language itself are all deeply political. I could not convey information to you in an intelligible...

    D&D General Settings of Hope vs Settings of Despair

    I mean, no? Killing the local authority doesn't suddenly put authority in place. Unless there's someone willing to step in, administrate it and maintain the monopoly of violence you're just going to end up in a warlord situation.

    D&D General What are the boundaries of what counts as part ot Forgotten Realms?

    FR should absolutely have areas inspired by the Americas, the Eurasian Steppe, Arabia and East Asia, but they should be as inspired by those cultures as Faerun is inspired by western society. If FR was full of "Fantasy Italy, Fantasy Spain, Fantasy Netherlands, Fantasy Germany, etc" like how...
