How different was d20 Modern from d20 Grim Tales?

I'm not disliking the show, but it is starting to drag its feet again. The whole "we torture you with dying children" comes across as mustache twirling evil, but without the humor. It's just over the top ridiculousness, but played totally straight.

For the God of the Bible it was easy- the whole world was wicked, except those saved. It's never been the case for the Cataclysm that everyone who died was sharing in whatever sin the Kingpriest was guilty of. In fact, Paladine thought he was a good man. Do paladins strike down good men? Do...

But is that position in line with Chaotic and Neutral god's ethical positions?

It actually is. Who is the moral authority on Krynn who can pass judgement on the world, when all the gods are equally correct? Why did the Chaotic gods agree that punishing everyone instead of the individual was correct? How did the NG gods decide that the suffering of the whole world...

Where to start? How about Dragonlance having multiple "correct" moralities? How about evil being described as a necessary component of the world instead of an unwelcome corruption? God, or Eru, can judge because he is the sole authority on morality. Satan, or Morgoth, do not have an equally...

You seem to be comparing real world religions and Dragonlance, which have fundamental differences. Even Tolkien's mythology is so different from Dragonlance that there is no comparison.

Thats a lot of false equivalency there.

Mythras, using the Classic Fantasy book seems like a good fit to me.

I was referring to Oriental Adventures, in which the new 5e book shares a lot of campaign expectations with.

The more the season progresses the more I feel the flashbacks were completely unnecessary. Even if the big reveal is that Meero is Cassian's sister, it's still time that was wasted. The show could have really used another editing pass to tighten it up.

Probably Sturm's death. I'm not sure that is true. It really feels like older campaign settings felt the need to hand DMs overpowered NPCs to reign in high level PCs.

It's only your opinion that it is impossible for a Tolkien fan to love the show without having "issues". I am a fan of Tolkien (read LotR every year at Christmas for the past 30 years) and I don't have issues with the show. I reject your "no true Scotsman" argument.

But PJ played up the possibility that Aragorn might fall for her, and the whole Arwen leaving ME, but having visions of her children. Eowyn might have been enamored of Aragorn, but it was never hinted it was returned.

Everyone saying that the LotR films were more true to Tolkien's vision must not remember either the books or the movie. The Aragorn who declared himself "Isildur's heir" to Eomer would not even recognize the conflicted movie Aragorn. They are completely different characters. The whole...

Ok, so it's the spiritual successor of the previous D&D 3.5 and AD&D versions. It makes sense that they wouldn't put out a 5e book, then demand the players abandon the core pillars of 5e play.
