[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5872547, member: 2067"] Is...is that English they're trying to write? How cute. I can't parse that sentence well. "Main antagonist in the plot reveals"? Is reveals a noun, there? Or a verb, like it is...everywhere else? Is that supposed to be "in the plot revelations?" Or maybe, "Revelations about the plot of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition indicate she may be the main antagonist." If it is a noun, I don't see how that can have any bearing on D&D5e, since D&D5e probably doesn't really have "a plot?" Or, if it does have a plot, that's...um...certainly not going to interest most of the people who play D&D. Since, y'know, part of the fun of the game is coming up with your own plots and stories? So, yeah, I'm leery. D&D is a set of rules. It doesn't have a plot in and of itself. Of course, Lolth will be in 5e, and of course she will be in FR, and of course she'll feature prominently there, and maybe even she'll try to usurp the power of magic, and maybe even she will be the God of Magic in the PHB, sure. I could potentially see all of that. Though the Eberron/FR DDO crossover thing is [I]pretty silly[/i], even if they try to pseudo-canonize it in the 5e stuff, I can't imagine that 5e's "plot" will have much bearing on the 5e game. My bet is just that IGN staffers are underpaid six year olds with a tenuous grasp of language, and that Lolth might make a prominent appearance in early stuff because she is a pretty iconic antagonist. NBD, really. [/QUOTE]
