Could be, but to paraphrase the Doctor: "Lots of terrain types have a sky." Though I'm guessing it tends to be more blue in deserts on account of fewer clouds and obstructions.

Thank you for your response. I do have to wonder: this concept of fiction and gaming as value-adds to one another for Dark Sun specifically, was that part of the original concept or was it something that changed along the way? I wonder because Freedom and The Verdant Passage are fairly tightly...

White, green, and red seem fairly obvious and maybe black as well (dark fetid swamp water). The weird one is blue, living in deserts – blue for lightning/storms makes sense, but not that they're desert-based. I have a vague recollection that 4e moved blue dragons to the sea which makes more...

We don't have a dedicated forum for game creation but I don't see how any of that would be forbidden here as long as it's in the TTRPG General forum (I think the Publishing forum is more for the business aspects). I don't know how much feedback you'll get and how useful it will be, though. We...

For our convenience, of course.

The main advantage of hexagons is that they minimize the difference between step-by-step measurement and straight-line measurement. If the distance from one hex center to a neighboring hex center is 1, then the blue line has a length of 2. But the red only has a length of SQRT(3), so the...

Healer, particularly combat healer, is an inherently problematic role. You can make the game is balanced around having one, and then you need to make incoming damage big enough to be threatening in order for that role to be useful. Or you don't expect to have one, in which case you need to make...

I don't think con-going is a usable metric for absolute numbers, but it might be for changes. More people at cons is probably an indicator of more gamers overall. But it's not a very good metric even for that, because going to a con is a fairly economically involved thing, and changes in...

I'd like to offer an amendment to that: I see nothing that explains why a private investor with the kind of money it would take to buy D&D would be any better for it. I think there are plenty of people who could do better (from an artistic/consumer perspective) with D&D, and there are some...

Maybe. If you look at the Magic side, they're doing some stuff that's... maybe not shady, but not exactly customer-friendly, and which I think are bad for the long-term health of the game. A few years back, Wizards started entering into licensing agreements with other companies to make...

That may be something you desire as a home owner, but maintaining your property values is not the job of your neighbor (as long as they don't commit vandalism or such). Also, someone who would object to lack of conformity is not someone you want as a neighbor anyway. See, I'm approaching this...

I can see the point in regulating safety issues and truly objectionable decorations (e.g. swastikas). But you seem to be misunderstanding the purpose of your neighbors' homes. Their purpose is not to maintain or increase the amount of monopoly money you one day will be able to exchange your home...

MCDM has been around for quite a while, having started with doing material for 5e in areas where Matt Colville felt were underserved (strongholds, warfare, good monsters, evil paladins, pet classes, psionics). They also ran a magazine for a few years before deciding it was more of a distraction...

Yeah but those things are all BS. OK, max height on fences I can buy, there can be legitimate safety concerns about that. But the only one who should have any say in the appearance of a house is the owner of that house. And why would you cut the grass? Better to let it grow or even better, plant...

I have to confess I don't see the issue. Their house, their choice on colors. Nobody else's business. Same thing with what they choose to keep in their yard.

Savage Worlds allows you to take 2 actions at a -2 penalty to everything, or 3 at -4. You also get a move, and can increase that move by Running – this is not an action but gives -2 as well. There are also ways of making multiple attacks per action, such as autofire.

Sure, but it's still a great reaction gif.
