D&D 5E If WotC Did A New Setting Search

[Reynard]

Dawn Forge was published by Fantasy Flight (I think), so it wouldn't have been one of the Top 3 Finalists. This is also one setting that I would LOVE to see updated for 5e D&D.

I think they were top 10s. I gamed with Scott Kennan for a while and he worked very hard to bring Morningstar to print.

Per the purple site, it was a semifinalist.

The difference between semi-finalists and finalists is that the finalists sold the IP to WotC just to move forwards in the competition: the two other finalists actually got their material absorbed into Ebrron by the time it came to print.

But the semi-finalists could publish on their own.

That's what I remember too. People were able to assemble a list of 7 of 11 of the finalist entries. WotC didn't disclose what the settings were, and not every author disclosed their submission.

Exactly. The "Black Legend" nonsense is pure rewriting history. It's the literal denial of multiple genocides.

Yep. I have no issue with also calling French, English, and Belgian colonizing forces of the era a bunch of monsters, especially Belgium’s actions in Congo. It happened, some of us live in the places where these things left long scars. It is what it is.
