D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

They'd already gone too far ahead to backtrack on the lore change, but the fact they outright admitted fans hated the subclass and that's why they changed it proves you're wrong.

As pointed out, it only takes 30% to vote against to get something thrown out, not a majority.

And haters are far more likely to respond to polls than happy people, so there is a selection effect.

But certainly, there are a fair number of haters. This sort of obsessive toxic fandom is a blight on a great many IPs, D&D being no exception.

As I’ve said before, anyone who resorts to insults has run out of legitimate arguments.

None of that requires a "multiverse". Our own universe has multiple planets. Oerth and Toril and Earth can exist just as, you know, different worlds. It doesn't suppose the existence 600 different parallel Elminsters.

Part of this is the conflation of "world" and "planet".


"Planet" comes from "planetes", Greek for "wanderer": things that wander around the night sky, moving through space.


World comes from "Wereld", Old English for "the age of man" ("were" as in "werewolf" meaning man and "eld" as in "elder", cognate of "old", meaning "age"). This is in contrast to say the age of the gods, the age of elves: colloquially, "Wereld" referred to the domain of mortals; today we call it "the observable universe."

They are not the same. A world should logically have many planets in it: it isn't right to refer to a planet covered in sand as a "desert world"

The Multiverse contains everything, by definition.

Minor nitpick, but the Multiverse doesn't contain everything. It contains everything which exists. There's no guarantee any particular universe actually exists in the Multiverse. In fact, some possible universes can't exist in a Multiverse. Case in point: any possible universe with the property that it isn't part of a Multiverse.

I mean, not with that attitude.
