...editorial tone most prominently; it was designed from the ground-up to support the multicultural cosmopolitain-fantasy assumptions of late fifth edition, from the lore implications of anything-goes player mechanics to the deprecation of alignment, to the fantasy-theme-park grab-bag of...

...not exactly; it's structured as a meta-setting weaving through material worlds but it can also be run as its own thing, borrowing liberally from this-and-that to suit a GM's needs...

...the labyrinth was created expressly to serve as a default setting for tales of the valiant...

...the radiant citadel flares in your general direction... (in my opinion ravnica and theros should count, too, but to your point, they weren't bespoke creations for fifth-edition D+D)

...i make suboptimal choices all the time because algorithmic gameplay is boring as heck, but it's always driven by playing my characters from their own in-world perspective...

...good excuse to revert to early 5e +gritty optional rules at my table...

…while the supplement includes a couple of time-portal hooks into modern færûn, i can’t find any direct references to ythryn or rime of the frostmaiden; have i overlooked anything?..

...star frontiers, i think, although we branched out pretty quickly around that time... ...we never distinguished between OD+D / holmes / moldvay and AD+D as separate games; like a lot of groups, everyone we played with considered the latter to be a superset of the former...

...i believe lord of the rings roleplaying (free league's 5e system) only runs through tenth level...

...well they don't identify the solstices + equinoxes but they way they've color-coded the seasons implies either traditional calendar designations or a return to previous meteorological cycles...

...when do the solstices + equinoxes fall?..the sword coast adventurer's guide implemented a pretty substantial shift...
