I'm going to seriously enjoy detailing the precise relationship between the two of them as the storyhour progresses. No spoilers from me before then however. I'm all for speculation though. :D

Which yugoloths are in the book? Do they call arcanaloths arcanaloths or the weird 4e name?

http://*****.com/a/W5BQl It looks like a lot of the Great Wheel with some elements of the 4e World Axis put in. It isn't perfect, but I can work with this, and would happily write for it given the opportunity. I really dig the incorporation of the 2e Planescape symbols for the various outer...

Pathfinder's cosmology is a giant love letter to the 1e/2e/3e Great Wheel. Trust me on this one.

Oh, she hasn't hit the peak of her vain, pampered, self-important, godless abomination self yet. She gets much, much worse. "Public appearances being what they are, I can only indulge myself in this way so very rarely." - it's rare that she gets to act as cold as she actually is, and the scene...

The 2e style could have any fiendish heritage and any possible appearance. Rather inexplicably for an edition aiming for inclusion, compared to their predecessors, the 4e/5e tieflings have a uniform appearance and an explicitly infernal origin.

**** The wererats stared back at them, the unblinking reflection of their eyes as well as the reeking stench of their rag wrapped bodies serving as threats as equally unnerving as their weapons. "We're not questioning that in the slightest," Corwin motioned with his hands, trying his best to...

Very much this. With the caveat of allowing those settings that were metasettings (Planescape and Spelljammer) to return to being metasettings. Additionally, when presenting certain settings, let's present them as faithfully to their original incarnations as possible. 4e/5e tieflings imposed...

The modern day druid has about as much in common with the D&D druid as they do the historical druids. They're a modern day appropriation of the name / or an attempt at reconstruction, depending on your perspective. But the modern druids certainly aren't practicing human sacrifice and killing Romans.

So yesterday marked the appearance of Shardra Geltl, Paizo's iconic shaman who happens to be a transgender woman, and the posting of a list of 50 LGBTQ characters from Pathfinder. Paizo/Pathfinder have been incredibly inclusive and IMO they deserve recognition for that. WotC is beginning to...

Nevermind

Not everyone judges a game's content and ideas entirely based on the numbers and perceptions of balance in the absence of any other complicating factors. As for this feat or any others, this is why DM discretion exists. If a player is just taking random, cherry-picked feats to exploit the...

I generally ignore the first few reviews, and any reviews that appear prior to the book actually being released. I've noticed a number of books lately getting glowing 5 star reviews while also being pretty skimpy on the details of why, with the note that the reviewer received a free copy of the...

I saw this weeks earlier, but my opinion of this hasn't changed: It's insipidly dumb. And for the person behind it, however much they didn't like 4e, and however much they seem to like 5e based on the end of their escapade, that's probably just going to reflect poorly on their game of choice.

I've avoided the majority of 5e discussions almost entirely because it seems to be focused on rules and numbers, with comparatively little discussion of the flavor/fluff and the differences between it and prior editions. I completely zone out on rules discussions unless it's specifically...

I didn't intend to suggest that, no.

What's interesting is that with the roll out of 5e they're able to take their time with having minimal D&D income, having virtually ceased 4e production for a while, and spend their time with the extended playtest marketing. That speaks to Hasbro not having a hand in the mix, and a certain...

I'm sort of meh on this one. But I'm probably spoiled by the flavor and customization in Pathfinder sorcerers with their myriad bloodline options and powers.
