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...

Maybe Good and Evil can't exist without Balance? Balance came first and Good and Evil spawned from it. Maybe all ideologies are defined in relation to other ideologies?

Or is that what Neutrality and the agents of “The Balance” want you to believe? Couldn’t you say Mordenkainen’s agenda is no less ideological than the schemes of Asmodeus or the meddling of Paladine? And who’s to say Neutrality is in the middle of Good and Evil? That thinking could be falling...

I’ve always felt the Neutral types that want to “maintain the balance” like Mordenkainen and the Circle of Eight seem to have more of a leaning towards Good tendencies. For example, they’re always trying to thwart disaster happening to Oerth rather than seeing to its destruction. Also, it’s...

Yep, this is a strange one. There's no way 'Common' would be the same on each world. I think most folk hand-waive it.

Oh... I just found out crystal spheres don't exist in 5E Spelljammer. That doesn't really change much, though. We've still got solar systems (bubbles of Wildspace) bobbing in the Astral Sea. They just don't have a hard exterior envelope anymore. I wonder what the stars are now? They used to be...

This is interesting. I assumed Athas would be in a crystal sphere. How would its solar system survive in the Astral/Phlogiston without a protective bubble?

The 2E adventure Dawn of the Overmind attempted to do this. There was a crystal sphere called Truespace which followed the same physics of our real space. And from memory it was enormous in size.

I think the idea of Aerth, Uerth, Yarth, Earth, etc. is one of Gary's that predates Spelljammer. I’m not sure if it’s official in the current D&D Cosmology.

Oh, I forgot about that adventure, too - IM1 The Immortal Storm. Yes, the PCs travel to New York.
