Critical Role LYSK: Gods and Geography of Wildemount

[Urriak Uruk]

It's still going to cause confusion in newbies without a sidebar on the subject.

I find it funny that you think people can't handle a couple discrepencies between gods on different worlds, but they can handle that drow (the most dark-skinned elf race) are unequivocally evil.

Because except for Ghosts of Saltmarsh last year, all the Q1/Q2 APs (Princes, Strahd, and Yawning Portal) were announced in January.

You forgot MToF, there.

Mordenkainen's isn't an AP. It was announced in February, however.

Pff... I don't think most new players are even going to notice or care. And if they do, it's really not that hard to grok "The stuff in this one setting is not the same as in this other setting, even if they have the same name."

No, but it was a Q2 release. Quarterly releases seem to be the way things are trending.

It's not really clear what Setting the MTOF Raven Queen is even for, but the qoute from Laeral Silverhand about her suggests primarily for FR, but none of it fits or makes sense for FR given the Shadar Kai at all.

I like that they unified the demihuman Pantheons in FR, but they really, really messed up the racial/Raven Queen lore into something that does really make much sense. Not all of it's bad, but alot of it just doesn't fit anything.

MTOFs is why I really want them to playtest new lore, especially if it retcons things, because much of that book is a disaster.

My own gripe about Mordenkainen's Tome is that it should have focused on foes from the outer planes. The chapters on Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, and Gnomes feel completely out of place. Also, a lot of the monsters just aren't that useful or interesting. Volo's Guide was a much better book.

the Tyr in the Realms is different than the Tyr from the Norse pantheon, etc.

Actually the Tyr in the realms (and quite a few others deities too) is the deity from the norse pantheon.

No he ain't. If it was the same guy, he wouldn't also appear in the Norse pantheon at the same time. Especially considering he was never killed off in the Norse pantheon even though he was in the Realms at one point. The Realms Tyr is like an alternate universe Tyr just like the Exandria Pelor is an alternate universe Pelor than the one in Greyhawk. Just like the Tyr in my Realms campaign is an alternate universe Tyr from the one in yours. They are all different.
