If JRPGs have taught me anything, it's that you need to kill god. Who's at the top of mortals' collective divine naughty word List?

IMO, the only way to have lost knowledge in a world with magical recordkeeping and long-lived or immortal people is to have entities who actively work to obscure that knowledge. In Pillars of Eternity, the clergy of Wael, god of secrets, routinely robs libraries and assassinates scholars just to...

This is something I've grown to really dislike about FR. It has high magic that is almost as accessible as magic in Eberron but no one seems to want to use magic for mundane uses. I got into an argument with some FR fans about Candlekeep still using manual scribes when both magic powered...

Remember, in the real world people go on killing sprees because they think a pizza parlor is harboring human traffickers, because they feel entitled to sex they're not getting, or simply because they "don't like mondays." It's entirely realistic for flesh and blood human beings to act like a...

Valindra Shadowmantle maybe?

Show me art that's apolitical and I'll show you ergonomic design.

My dyslexic ass thought it was Tales of Maj'eyal for a sec

Does that work with melee weapons or melee attacks? Can I yeet a dagger at someone and make them fall in wuv? Actually now that I think about it, kinda lame I can't use that with a bow for some cupid action.

I will not stand for this Marshall McLuhan slander

Is the atlas of Faerun included in this book not a composite of the various smaller sub regional maps like those of the arcane empires or heartland?

For everyone saying that they're not going to include slavery in D&D, am I mistaken or did they not explicitly include slavery among the drow and red wizards in the recent forgotten Realms book?

Rather conspicuously there is a Shadovar NPC in AiF, but she's been polymorphed into (IIRC) a blue dragon so they don't need to stat up a Shade.

I've been playing D&D for two decades and just been a fan of general post D&D fantasy milieu for another decade, and while I can tell you the difference in how demons and devils (and yugoloths) BEHAVE, I cannot, for the life of me, give a cogent aesthetic difference between fiends. I know what a...

I view these books as maybe equivalent of a dungeon magazine issue, adjusted for inflation.

Notably, the Lost Library of Lechaunthos adventure consistently mentions a "god of pestilence" but avoids naming Yurtrus despite him being very relevant to the events of the adventure.

Players need a gazetteer to be able to place themselves in the world. That was one of my biggest issues getting into 5e D&D as a player; it was almost impossible for me to find context for my characters' beliefs, upbringing or playstyle since there was barely any lore for any part of the world...

The drunken master monk in my party was already flavoring her as more of a drug-dealing alchemist and it sucked she couldn't make her own potions, I had to homebrew stuff for that. We're both giddy over the change to the class, though part of me wishes the "brews" could also be flavored as...

I do not like the idea of you talking out of your ass, yet here you are.
