For those interested in the sources for those quotes, the Monte Cook one can be found over on a January, 2012 Legends & Lore article, while the quote from Mike Mearls apparently comes from a 2012 Ask Me Anything that he did on reddit.

For reference, the underlying principle being referred to here is that of Hitchens's Razor, i.e. that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. And the way you know I'm right about that is that I made sure to link to the Wikipedia page which confirms it. ;)

It's interesting to place that in the category of "giant-class creatures" that's used in AD&D 1E (from the entry on rangers): Now, that list is alphabetical, but if we arrange it by Hit Dice, it'll be like so: kobolds -> goblins -> orcs -> hobgoblins -> gnolls -> bugbears -> ogres -> ogre...

This is similar to why I stopped counting how many books I read in a year. Different books are of different sizes, have different numbers of pages, etc., so counting the number read quickly became meaningless to me. And that's not even taking into account the quality of the books.

I was going to say Big Purple, but yeah.

No, it wasn't. I'll refer you to this article about the "ivory tower design" of 3E.

My understanding is that WotC thinks otherwise. And if you meant that "Ed Greenwood's original contract specifies that Realms content (written by him) is canon," then all I can say is that I've heard variations of that for decades now, always with differing details, and I've never found it...

I ordered a book from Amazon yesterday, with overnight shipping. When it was delivered this morning, the package contained no book, instead having a pouch of magnesium gummies that were marked as being a sleep aid. Being quite tired due to having stayed out late partying with my friends last...

I just finished reading a 1994 reprint of A. W. Reed's 1965 book, Aboriginal Fables and Legendary Tales, and I have mixed feelings about it. As the title makes clear, this is a collection of seventy-three tales from the native people of Australia. All are very short, averaging two pages in...

I made a thread, a couple of years ago, about having PDF files turned into books over on lulu.com that's hopefully helpful: https://www.enworld.org/threads/printing-personal-copies-of-books-on-lulu-com-tips-and-tricks-ive-learned.698757/

You don't have to, I will. :P For instance, the claim was "over" a decade and a half old, when it's not even exactly a decade and a half old.

Um, no. The D&D Next playtest began in May of 2012, according to an interview with some guy named Mike Mearls.

This reminds me of a post that game designer Owen K. C. Stephens made over on his Patreon page for what he calls "minor gestalts." It's essentially the same as the normal gestalt rules, but you can only gestalt with an NPC class. In practice, this means having your gestalt class be either the...

You had two 20th-level wizards in your group, and that was the best they could do? No one cast vision ahead of time to try and figure out what they needed to be wary of? No one had a contingency spell with greater dispel magic set to counterspell? No one was willing/able to cast wish after the...
