Oh, I read that one! Not often something I'm familiar with gets mentioned in this thread!

That's easy. They can roll-stomp gods.

Trying to base world demographics on the composition of adventuring parties is a lost cause, and always will be, in any setting.

Tic-Tac-Toe was a game before the movie. So obviously it's included. Jumanji was a fictional game. The actual game was based on the movie. It doesn't count.

Prodigy had a Tellurite amongst it's main cast. The original 1970s Star Trek animated series took advantage of the medium to add a couple of more alien bridge crew.

I would set it just before TOS, so we could still have Ortagas at the helm. If we must have a recast Sulu he can be a lower decks botanist in a blue shirt. And we could see what 1st Officer Gary Mitchell was like when he was still himself.

Adventurers are those individuals who are not well integrated into society. That's what makes them adventurers. But playable species are added to the game all the time (e.g. dhampir). You can't change the setting every time that happens. You just have to assume that some species are rare and...

Why? It seems perfectly reasonable to me for some species to be rarer than others. If I count the different species of birds I see in the garden, some species are common and some are very rare. As for tieflings, they aren’t reallly a species at all, they are just random sports from families who...

Specific beats general. Core principle. And there are lots of specific examples that enable someone to move out of their turn, such as Dissonant Whispers. This one enables you to move when initiative is rolled. It’s plain, clear, and involves no contradictions.

It may be that they don’t have anything to market - they are clearly having problems with their manufacturing and distribution. They don’t want to be marketing for something when they don’t know when it will hit the shelves.

The Eberron book is a hardback - that’s why it warped. They even posted pictures.

Wyll Ravenguard, Gale, Minthara, Halsin, Jalhera, Minsc and angry yellow woman.

The exterior shots of the crowd entering the Neverwinter arena was at Alnwick Castle (with a lot of cgi), the scene where the Thayans arrive by boat under a bridge was in the grounds. The Neverwinter Castle interiors and the scene where the illusionary Edgin fails were filmed at the Bishop’s...
