When is this seminar?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

... interspersed with:

The Great Upheaval;
The Time of Troubles;
The Day of Reckoning; and
The Plague of Those Annoying Little Midges You Find in Sand Dunes.

You forgot the Era of Sand in the Loincloth...

You forgot the Era of Sand in the Loincloth...

I think we're all trying to forget...

What, don't like gritty realism?

 

[Maggan]

WotC is sundering D&D from it's portfolio?

/M

Meh. I think the lack of details actually makes me not really care about the thing. With all the other games and seminars going on, there's plenty already out there without wanting to waste my time guessing.

Back a few years ago, Penny Arcade created a wiki so people could invent lore for a fictional novel line, called Epic Legends of the Hierarchs: The Elementstor Saga. The whole thing was an over the top pastiche of fantasy cliches.

The timeline of the history listed several major events like:

The Sundering
The Unsundering
and
The Resundering

If you follow more modern D&D trends, you would need to add:
The Improved Sundering
The Greater Sundering

... and variants thereof.
