I figured he’d be too swamped as Paizo now. Though I recall hearing the Gary Holian wasn’t too keen on the sorts of ownership terms the DMsGuild published under and was pleased using the existing fan content policy that permits things like Oerth Journal.

Roger Moore, Gary Holian, Sean Reynolds… ? There were a few LG authors I’d grab immediately, such as the Onnwal and Splintered Suns region writers, like Creighton Broadhurst.

Just wanted to chime in, WGR7 Ivid the Undying is among Carl Sargent’s top tier work. It is maybe the best source for material in the Great Kingdom. I referenced it over and over when drawing my maps for the region. I ended up scouring the internet archive for WotC’s old free .rtf of it so I...

I’m not sure why you’re taking an aggrieved stance about the unseen 2024 sample-Greyhawk, but it truly feels like you are far closer to the stance of fans who are excited about it and how they could imagine bringing in the new elements to their campaigns.

You are arriving with the presupposition that, without having read this chapter, Greyhawk cannot survive its publishing. It does feel like unwarranted hyperbole to me. I will withhold judgement until I have a copy before me. Could you provide an example how you would “respectfully...

2024 DMG Greyhawk’s entirety is going to be as a chapter as a sample setting, which you are speculating what it will present. It is not a full box set, much less an entire hard cover. Any setting summarized in a chapter necessarily gives DMs work. Whatever any DM does with 2024 sample-Greyhawk...

That is a DM problem, not a setting problem. If the DM is going to go out of their way to make their character feel unwelcome and abused by NPCs for not fitting in their idiosyncratic demographic model, that should have been settled in a session zero where the DM made it clear they were going to...

The parts I remember being drawn to back when I bought the 83’ box was the history of two arcane empires clashing in apocalypses that left scars on the continent, which forced mass migrations of multiple tribes, one of which rose to a new empire conquering nearly the entire subcontinent and...

I helped run the Shield Lands triad. I have bought nearly all of the WotC 5E books. I will buy the 2024 books.

Well, I guess Tharizdun was the ultimate cosmic threat that destroys Greyhawk. I wasn’t expecting to see a good faith argument that tabaxi and tortles were as great a threat to the existence of the world to rival Tharizdun. ¯\(ツ)/¯

DMs and players can make Greyhawk what they will. The setting will be fine.

Definitive long time Greyhawk fan here (you might guess from my name) I am excited for a fresh take. A take that brings in everything the PHB2024 offers. A new take that makes “Greyhawk-frozen-in-amber” rage. A take that generates rants that there is a conspiracy to ruin the childhoods old...

This pleases me a lot. I could imagine many ways to have Greyhawk be inclusive of the many PHB species, and even the many others that 5E has added through the past 10 years. In my own Greyhawk I would have had a time jump of a few decades, if not a full century. A time jump could give some...

It was such an on theme ending. I’m looking forward to rewatching it in the expectation of catching more things that are alluded to having a connection in later episodes. Such as how Flamme’s favorite spell, taught to Frieren, making a field of flowers had been the spell Frieren cast to...

I am certain when I came across that it convinced me to give it a go because I have the anti-interest in playing an “evil” storyline. That, plus hearing other people who played a good Durge play through, struggling against the “urge” was very rewarding convinced me. I’m glad I did it as a later...

I can concur that the story is quite fulfilling. I did my redeemed Dark Urge as a duergar paladin who romanced Karlach (I wanted to finally get the hot date achievement!) All of the conversations with the companions through dark urge story beats felt like they had more attention to detail than...

The Alert feat with the BG3 initiative system is the biggest game changer feat. Alert is always my first or second feat, or if I have a build that will not value any other elixir (giant strength, bloodlust, or battle mage), I’m giving that character all of the initiative boosting elixirs.

I’ve been beyond impressed about this series! The animation is some top tier showing off for a TV series anime. I’ve been singing praises for this slow burn show. But calling it a slow burn is not completely right because the fight sakuga is there. I can’t wait for the final episodes!

Finished watching the first two episodes of The Completely Made-up Adventures of Dick Turpin. I thoroughly enjoyed them both and am looking forward to more. I got a feeling like a blend of Monty Python’s Holy Grail plus Discworld plus D&D heists. I may be misremembering, but this might be the...
