Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dungeonosophy" data-source="post: 6374927" data-attributes="member: 6688049">I updated the OP.1) I re-worded my resolve to say:"I'm not going to buy any of this...until I see with my own eyes whether and how Open this rules system is come springtime.Even if the 5E SRD were to be totally Open, there is much of this I still wouldn't buy. If 5E were really Open, it is likely I'd pick up the core rules."2) I added 2e Complete Book of Humanoids as another source be covered in the Races of the D&D Multiverse series.3) I named Echohawk as "that guy" who's doing the awesome <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?356456-Monster-ENCyclopedia-Aarakocra" target="_blank">Monster ENCyclopedia research</a>, which I'd like to see serve as the basis for a 5e Monstrous Compendium.4) I suggested that for the Atlas of the D&D Multiverse (or for the D&D Modern book), that we find out exactly whether and how the Milky Way Galaxy (the setting of D&D Earth) is related to the Phlogiston of the 2e Spelljammer cosmology and the Astral Sea of the 4e cosmology. Is it possible, for 5E, to somehow meld those various conceptions of the Prime Material Plane into a single plane, while still retaining all of the fun gaming aspects?In BECMI, Earth's universe and the D&D universe are different dimensions altogether: the Multiverse Dimension is the home dimension of Mystara, while the Dimension of Myth is the home dimension of Laterre/Earth.In 3e, "d20 Modern Earth" is a separate cosmology, which like all the other cosmologies (the Great Wheel of Greyhawk, the Great Tree of Forgotten Realms, the Orrery of Eberron) is only connected to other cosmologies via the Plane of Shadow.In Frank Mentzer's home campaign, the World of Greyhawk is located in the Ceti Tau solar system in the Milky Way Galaxy.5) I added the <a href="http://www.campaigncoins.com/store/freeport.html" target="_blank">Freeport Campaign Coins</a> as a fine example of what I'd like to see.6) I ask if anyone knows of any other mention of "in-world games" besides Dragonchess, Magestones, and 3 Dragon Ante? There's also <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/gordmisc.html#planarchess" target="_blank">PlanarChess</a>, but WotC probably doesn't own the rights to that since, AFAIK, it was in GG's non-TSR Gord novels. It seems likely that in the hundreds of D&D sourcebooks, adventures, and novels, some other games are mentioned.</blockquote>
