Mordenkainen's. Still part of the game as it has not been replaced by anything in 5.5e.

I voted Sword and Sorcery, but I wouldn't mind Epic Fantasy, either. Multiple votes would have been good for those of us who would be happy with multiple different themed settings.

What part of remembers OTHER lives did you miss there? Also, they taught the humans magic. They would have been around to see them become the magic empire, and they would have talked about it with other elves. Those memories would be all over the place. Why do they need to know that to know...

The elven mind works differently. They are similar to Vulcans in that they undertake mental exercises and actually go back to dwell on prior memories via reverie. They would not forget the past like humans do. From Mordenkainen's HISTORY, MY YOUNG FRI ENDS? JUST BECAUSE YOUR lives are as...

You never know. Many years ago there was this guy who was always telling people that they were metagaming and metagaming was bad. He had even told it to me in the thread I'm referring to. I very civilly in my response pointed out that one of the things he said was also metagaming and he...

Or you have the MacGuffin to do it.

Yeah. Two of my favorites. I still remember the Tweedledee and Tweedledum encounter. I hope they do it well. I've always loved Gamma World.

That's not the simplest explanation. We play this game in modern times through a modern lens. Except me apparently. I'm being told that in 5.5e the only way for half races to happen is by magical energy. I'm the one here saying that 5.5e says both(and it does). It writes biological transfer...

So I guess all races just spontaneously come into being, because none of them say it's the old fashioned way. Sorry, at some point you just have to go with the simplest explanation.

There are clear physical/biological traits and aspects. That means blood connection, which means cross race breeding in the past. You can invent stork babies if you want, but what is written is not that.

You're inventing fiction that isn't there. It doesn't say that, so it isn't that. For whatever reason you can't or don't want to see what the truth of 5.5e is.

🤦‍♂️ If you're going to call it Netheril Rising, you need one of those guys to take a ground city and be in preparation to make it fly ;) :p

Right. The undead cleaning and serving crew probably aren't going to be liches and vampires.

We've been through this. There are objectively physical(genetic) transferences with Aasimar and Tieflings. Your desires for how reproduction happens cross-race doesn't change that fact. No. It's strictly biological in any form a GOD takes. He has the ability to genetically reproduce no matter...

Yeah. I was making that argument with elves a while back in the thread. :)

Both are correct. There still exist races that have biological reproduction to them. Aasimar and Tieflings for example.

The bolded is flat out wrong as the default for D&D. You can run your game that way, but in D&D cross-breeding is pretty darn common.

I mean, they literally are a hybrid. "HALF-DRAGON A dragon’s magical nature allows it to breed with virtually any creature. Conception usually occurs while the dragon has changed its shape; it then abandons the crossbreed offspring."

While I can respect and understand your position, I don't share it. I don't want all the races to be that prominent. In my game they pretty much all exist, but a Tabaxi wandering into a town is going to draw attention due to the rarity of them. The same with Loxodon, Kenku and Firbolgs. With...

They really should be.
