That was explicitly a thing WotC was saying, that the volume of lore and existing detail was a deterrent to new players getting into the Forgotten Realms and for DMs to choose to run the setting. A 100 year time advancement, a world shakeup, and a three big RPG books and done publishing plan for...

Well of Worlds [Planescape] (2e) 2e Undead: ? Ghast: REINFORCEMENTS: The dead buried in this section of the cemetery will be the first that the fiends eventually raise up to reinforce their efforts. One of the fiends on the losing side steps back from the battle for a moment, raises its hands...

In 2e D&D there was Gates of Firestorm Peak which introduced the mythos influenced D&D Far Realm and there was a growing mythos influence in the Sahuagin Monstrous Arcana trilogy of modules with Night of the Shark and Sea of Blood fleshing that out a lot. Paizo's Wake of the Watcher, Module 4...

Yes, but most of those (the 1e-3e material) are set 100 years in the past for the current setting timeline after big world changing events of spellplague and planets conjoining and then the soft reset back, so this means either messing with timeline stuff and just using long dead people and long...

Robert E. Howard used the Serpent Men in Conan and Kull the Conqueror stories as part of his literary crossover with Lovecraft. Green Ronin's Freeport setting and adventures has a strong secret ancient fallen serpent man empire thing going on, there is a 5e version of the first module Death in...

Lots of possibilities for 5e Innsmouth here, I am looking forward to hearing about what execution they decided on. This definitely bumped my interest in the product.

So a while ago WotC had a bunch of coloring book images up as free downloads (from a christmas advent thing?), it looks like some might have been from this book? It had that tavern one from the screenshot.

The 90s TSR had a lot of setting volume going on. It was pretty great. Mystara had the Gazetteer series of kingdom gazeteers, the mini Thunder Rift setting, the Hollow World boxed set, a few HW empire sourcebooks, and some miscellaneous stuff. Forgotten Realms had a series of regional...

One of the PDF reviews mentions there is a later adventure that connects Thunder Rift to Mystara. "It can be dropped into any world pretty easily (the D&D Cycolpaedia Screen includes Escape from Thunder Rift, an adventure to connect it to Mystara)"

Thunder Rift is sort of a Schroedinger's setting in the Known World. It is a mini setting for the then-new Black Box basic set and the accompanying modules and the author apparently intended it to be for the Known World but it is explicitly world setting agnostic and it does not reference...

Do you mean WG5 Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure from 1e? If so there is a conversion on DMsGuild. Or do you mean the 3e Dungeon adventures?

Weasel's Luck is still my favorite Dragonlance novel.

To get back to the original point, emanations in 5e as the signature clerical/druid thing feels narratively off just like clerical and paladin god lasers as a thing has since 3e for me. The closest I can think of to a visual clerical exemplar for an area of effect emanation would be Imhotep in...
