My memory of the original Barrier Peaks is foggy. Were there fail-safes in place to stop the PCs taking the advanced tech away and abusing its power or giving it to inventors to reverse engineer?

I'm on Safari and the pop ups have been with me since they started. The news page is now 2 column. Not sure if that is to fit larger ads left and right or unrelated.

Just on the idea that Golarion has some insular regions... how does the setting stop firearms from Alkenstar and advanced tech from Numeria from spreading throughout the realm? Has any country thought to invade Alkenstar/Numeria to acquire its tech? Or they wouldn't dare as they'd be shot to...

I liked the 3E era with Greyhawk as the default. I thought it was very subtle and could be ignored. They didn't even place many of the adventures in the world, they were just in a generic location. As to Eve of Ruin, if I were organising that on my bookshelf, it would go in the Forgotten Realms...

I didn't buy 3.5 I didn't buy Essentials (4.5) So I won't buy 2024 (5.5) I'll buy 6E when it comes out though.

I would either reset it to 576 CY or advance it to catch up with the Forgotten Realms. This would put Greyhawk at around 700 CY.

Drow have white/silver hair.

I’m glad Greyhawk is back as the default setting, it is synonymous with D&D. I suspect they won’t mention a setting date but it will be quietly assumed to be rolled back to 576CY. I’m OK with this - the small metaplot Greyhawk had in its product history wasn’t that great. And, even if you want...

Where is the drow mage? Isn't it an elf?

OK, thanks. Also, how far off is Dungeon Denizens (I missed out on the Kickstarter)? And what have folks been using since 2012 for monsters? Are the base monsters in the core book plenty to get you by on?

Is DCC a game that would get a 2nd edition one day or have they sworn off edition updates?

I think they’re up to something. Folks have said Greyhawk will be a default setting in the core books. This might be reset to 576CY. So in Eve of Ruin, where a lovers' tiff brings the multiverse to its knees, they have fertile ground to make some retcons with the revised books. The PCs will...

The big reveal in Chapter 9 is the biggest spoiler. If that gets out of the bag you couldn't run it. It's quite a cliche actually. I hope there's some details on how it was pulled off.

I might not back a kickstarter because they’ve already achieved their funding and it would be cheaper for me to wait for the printed product to hit the retail store rather than buy it on the kickstarter. You pay full retail price for the product on the kickstarter (unless you got in at some...

I use the original Great Wheel as that's what the Realms used at the start and I haven't changed it since. Generally I think the best cosmology for a setting is the one custom made for it, like Eberron's original cosmology before it was later incorporated into the 5E cosmology. Which cosmology...

I know, but I thought this might be tying up loose ends and bringing the lore in line with the rules update.

Is the War of the Immortals world-shaking event also serving to usher in the new Remastered rules update? Or it has nothing to do with that? I'm not playing Pathfinder, but I always enjoy following the Paizo meta-events. They remind me of the old days. But I know metaplots are generally reviled...

Are the ads here to stay?

Did any real-world pantheons - Egyptian pantheon, Greek pantheon, Norse pantheon, etc. - feature in 5E’s Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse?

I wasn't being tongue-in-cheek. I was just suggesting some new ways of thinking to stimulate thought. Mordenkainen's agenda seems to be to preserve a "status quo" on Oerth (and the planes) in a way he believes will ensure Oerth's survival and continued prosperity. Good doesn't believe this...
