And Mystara was not originally a BECMI Setting: it was the Kent State shared home campaign for OD&D that Schenck, Cook, and Moldvay took into TSR with them when they graduated and got jobs together.

I honestly don't see those tensions in amy of the Settings they have released, in the slightest, but Ravnica is largely original as presented in the book: Wyatt had to make most of it up, and again he also wrote the DMG. Take a gander at Ravnica sometime, it's a darned good book, and comes close...

So in what ways does the Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica not do that...?

Interestingly, episode 3 catches the cartoon up to the point where people usually recommend starting the game streams, once they hit their stride.

For what it is worth, the basic plot and character material of the Mighty Nein campaign is actually much better, in my opinion. This show is likely going to be wild.

Vecna is set in Greyhawk for a large part of it, amd the DMG now has an extensive Hreyhawk gazateer in it.

It does make more sense based on those numbers that were revealed recently about ho much monry WotC makes from OneBookShelf...which also owns both Roll20 and Demiplane. It also means more avenues for people to give WotC money, which matters more than having a monopoly.

Star Trek was CW-fied like 25 years ago

Yeah, he invented secondary world fiction

I like Rising from the Last War's explanation for the sudden proliferation of Dragonborn: most Humans still think they are Lizardfolk, cuz all them reptiles look the same. Handy, elegant, complete explanation.

If you run Exandria, most FR stuff can fit in there handily enough. Even the factions cam be translated without major overhauls.

There are Tiefling and Dragonborn NPCs all the time in the Campaign books? Some people loudly complained about that with Saltmarsh, for example, but it goes all the way back to Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

I mean, a new one literally is juat dropping, it is an ongoing series. And the people I know who read ot are in their 20s or 30s, actually...

Fair point.

What about Kong of Dragon Pass...?

What, questionable logic and writing??? In a TSR product from the late 1980s?????

Just to go back to this bit. When James Wyatt got the opportunity to actually make Ravnica into a Magic book, the Magic worldbuilding team had made a very popular and exciting high con episode Setting with some interesting details. But they did not consider the sorts of worldbuilding questions...

It is interesting how they interact, but always mechani s are at the service of a story, the Setting is what inform the use of mechanics, even in the oddball case of Eberron's conception.

The soundtrack for TMP is dope.

Without lookomg at the book, the top dude in the Yeomanry is a Goliath, the Knight Commander in the Shieldlands is a Dragonborn, the chief personage in the Rovers of the Barons is a Tiefling, and each Species gets bamechecked in one region or another. It'll there, and anybody coming to the book...
