What paywall are you talking about? I clicked on the link in the OP and went right to the article. I don't have a subscription to Game Informer,* so no paywall I can see - or are you talking about something else? *This wouldn't be a WotC paywall if it was a paywall anyway.

I have no idea. My desire only comes from whether or not I like the monster design. For example, I like most of the new 2024 dragon designs. I've already pre-order the black and red minis. Now, if they offered STLs of those designs I could print them to whatever scale I wanted and even...

Yes and no. High quality STLs of the current "official" monsters designs are much less common IME. Can you get something that is close - sure, but it is not the real thing. The same is true for "official" PF2 monsters. However, that is not the point really. It is just a good idea to offer this...

Here are some harvesting resources for you: Adult Dragon Harvesting (Website) Creature Loot (GM Binder) from the above: Hamund's Harvesting Handbook (DM's Guild) Monster Harvester's Handbook (Fan PDF) Harvesting & Crafting System 5e (GM Binder) Monster Loot vol 1 - Monster Manual (DM's Guild)...

That is not how the English language works. The whole paragraph is explaining that though primordial dragons may look and act similar to gods, and may in fact even be called gods, they are of a different essential nature than the gods. Then why not state that instead of calling them primordial...

Thank you for the citation! It is noteworthy, IMO, that calling gods Estelar only pertains to the Forgotten Realms setting from what I can tell (it never seems to have appeared outside the 4e FR Campaing Guide). In fact, the source of the citation referenced notes that though this is considered...

I agree there are edge cases (particularly D&D's habit of having mortals ascend to god-hood), but again I think the general definition is clear and helpful. I could even make an argument for all gods "hailing" from the outer planes from a certain point of view. However, I will ask again, has it...

I don't know how you could read FToD and come to that conclusion. The book says Tiamat and Bahamut are "...ontologically distinct from the gods..." I don't think it can be more clear than that. Ontology deals with the essence of something, the nature of its being. FToD is saying the very nature...

I actually think is more clear now compared to most other versions of D&D. Though it is possible definitions were clear in other editions too and I just don't remember as much because I do like the framework presented with FToD and have taken it to heart. What was the definition of a god in a...

Well, technically Tiamat and Bahamut are not gods either, they are primordial dragons according to FToD. The the difference is primarily one of origin.

Well he has been trying to extend his life for a long time. I do wonder if he is a literal god or a "god" like Fizban's suggest other great wyrms are worshiped as gods.

Interesting that the cover uses the old black dragon design.

This is a great idea and I wish WotC would do the same!

IDK, I don't have any filter on in D&DB but I do use an add blocker on my browser. However, I just tried it with another browser without any add blockers and it looked the same. In both browsers the top of the page is a few adds, see below. However, the articles are immediately below these adds.

DDB has many articles that are not strictly adds, by the typically are tied to an product. Though often even these can be helpful / interesting outside the product they are related to. Here are some recent articles:
