Is this topic more of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup than a soup? ;) "You've got your science fiction in my fantasy!" "Well, you've got your fantasy in my science fiction!"

I know. In 3e, the Warforged were Constructs with the Living Construct subtype. A subtype that was designed as a workaround to the Level Adjustments and Effective Character Levels in 3e's Savage Species book. The new subtype allowed the players to play as a playable Construct race. I have...

The Warforged are another good example of putting sci-fi into a fantasy setting. Science fiction has robots and Fantasy has constructs, some of which can be sentient. And if you want something that's more than meets the eye in a Beast Wars sort of way for a fantasy setting, you can always play...

Two things came to my mind regarding a 5e version of Dragonstar. 1) Adding in the Gem Dragons and 2) Replacing the Half-Dragon nobility with a Dragonborn nobility. The first would increase the number of Dragon Houses from 10 to 15. And there would be periods during the Dragonstar Empire where...

More than what's being offered by the Forgotten Realms Wiki. ;) Like a campaign setting book. hands the beer off to a dwarf ;)

The Dragonstar setting needs to be updated for 5e. :)

There are a couple of 3pp that provide info on Drivethrurpg.com on how to create cultures. Both were made by Homebrew and Hacking for A5e. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/387005/homebrew-and-hacking-crafting-heritages-and-cultures?src=hottest_filtered...

Toril has been the 'Known Realm' for roughly 50 years. Abeir is the true Forgotten Realm. ;) We need to know more about it by having it as a new 2024 setting.

Did they go through customs at the local Spelljamming port? ;)

This particular change shouldn't be that simple IMO.

It was just a change in what we knew of their history in the Forgotten Realms setting. For about a century, most people who have heard and/or seen a Dragonborn believed that they were brought to Toril during the Spellplague from Toril's long lost sister planet of Abeir. They picked themselves up...

It does seem that way at the moment. We've already been presented with the lore for 5e 2024's Dragonborn. How are the other PHB species being depicted in Heroes of Faerun? curious

Or two new Backgrounds- the Historian and the Geographer. ;)

A retcon could be a good thing if it fills in the historical gaps of a given setting or sheds new light on those bits of history that aren't so well known. However, some individuals dislike them because they challenge their belief system of how things came to be. Or they dislike them because...

Probably. However, most adventurers aren't average and have traveled around enough to tell some or most of these reptilian humanoids apart from one another. Some of these adventurers might even have had worked alongside Dragonborn adventurers during their journeys. As for the average person...

Until it did something very un-lizardfolk-like. :p

With the 4e Dragonborn, this was somewhat understandable as none of them really looked like an anthropomorphic Chromatic, Metallic or Gem Dragon. But when 5e came around, the Dragonborn gained 15 distinct looking subspecies that looked very much like anthropomorphic versions of the True...

By some just revealed lore that Toril always had Dragonborn living on it prior to the Spellplague and the arrival of their Abeiran cousins. And somehow these Dragonborn were being mistaken for Lizardfolk and other scaly folk. The Torillian Dragonborn must be very proficient in the Deception...

Abeir was given to the Primordials in the aftermath of the Dawn War by the overdeity Ao. However, there were so few Primordials left that their steeds, the dragons, overthrew them and claimed Abeir for themselves. The idea of Alien Dragonborn could have been less ridiculous if they came to...

In which time there could have been a Second Tymanther-Unther War that saw Unther destroying Tymanther and bringing about the Dragonborn Diaspora.
