Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuisCarlos17f" data-source="post: 9736635" data-attributes="member: 6802378">If the setting is too linked to the big bad guys then it is a wrong design because it is too linked to the metaplot, like in Dragonlance.If the PCs can't kill the sorcerer-kings because this has to happen according the metaplot and the novels then we haven't enough creative freedom. Here the metaplot isn't a source of inspiration but like a straitjacket.I can accept genocide and mass human sacrifices happened in the past but I don't like the idea of lots of sentient creatures being sacrificed because a sorcerer-king is sick. (yes, I talk about Tectuktitlay, lord of Draj). And the sorcerer-kings should worry not only for the food and water but the possible demographic crisis if population doesn't enjoy a minimal welfare/level of confort. The population needs faith and hope in a better future, at least in the afterlife, and fear to be punished in an infernal plane.I can understand the metaplot could be frozen if fandom may dislike the possible changes, but I dislike the idea we are losing some secrets that could be told later. I suspect WotC a lot of crunch (metalic weapons, spells and magic items) being banned in DS setting because they are by metal, arcane or divine magic.* Other point is a possible spin-off. Acording the Orrery of Nibenay (from "Marauders of Nibenay") the Athaspace has got several celestial bodies. This could explain the reason we could add or "recover" other PC species.   [ATTACH=full]415260[/ATTACH]Maybe an Athasian gnome is a hej-kin whose reincarnation spell didn't work the way was expected and then the community chose to send him to infitralte in the surface pretending to be a dwarf. Really it was a recesive mutation because the Athasian gnomes were the ancestors of the hej-kin.</blockquote>
