The best tool in your arsenal is knowing what you want to say
#writing tip: The best tool in your arsenal is knowing what you want to say. Clarity, creativity, ingenuity: those follow more easily when you know what you want to say. That's why writers who are staring into space or walking in a daze are still writing. Thinking is key.

“My adventuring life is a ballad bardic”
Yeah, I’m gonna flail my horse with my old war-goad
And ride hard, until I can’t no more
Through the fallen kingdom, past the end of the road
I’m gonna ride to where the wild dragons roar— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 19, 2020
My adventuring life is a ballad bardic
Every companion either sly or a right grim hard-dick
Getting tired of swording scaly things right up the snout
Time to find a willing prince (or princess) and get the Hells out— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 20, 2020
I don’t want to die for them to deeply, sadly miss me
So I work on this behind so there’ll be somewhere they’ll want to kiss me— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 21, 2020

If Sora Kell has daughters then who is the baby daddy or daddies?
If Sora Kell has daughters then who is the baby daddy or daddies? No one knows; it's part of their legend. It's presumed they all have different fathers.

How would sea elves/ followers of Deep Sashelas bury or honor their dead?
Cracker @HiImCracker@TheEdVerse
My player's cleric committed the ultimate sin of having a living family member. Now that I've fixed that, she wants to know: How would sea elves/ followers of Deep Sashelas bury or honor their dead? We are currently in Waterdeep.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 28, 2020
1)
A sea elf would dedicate beloved dead (kin, partner, lover, battle-companion, close friend) to Deep Sashelas with a specific ‘calling’ prayer that when performed underwater, in the presence of the corpse and including the 2)
…shedding of a drop of the praying sea elf’s blood, shed into the water, attract the attention of Deep Sashelas, who would manifest in a twinkle of light in the water that becomes a rift issuing bubbles of air.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 28, 2020
3)
The praying elf gives the body to the rift, which sucks it in and closes, disappearing and taking the body with it.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 28, 2020

I am curious about your reasons for putting Gromph ahead of The Simbul?
I am curious about your reasons for putting Gromph ahead of The Simbul?The Simbul's lack of sanity, and impatience when she is lucid. Recklessness wins her many battles, and the sheer power she can hurl far outstrips Gromph, but her sanity usually makes her Weavemastery fail. If she's calm and lucid, she mops the floor with Gromph.#Realmslore

You mentioned reincarnation was rare. What about elves?
@TheEdVerse in a previous tweet, you mentioned reincarnation was rare. What about elves? I know they have believed in reincarnation, but I always thought Arvandor was a final reward where elven spirits dwell. MToF paints it as a "waystation" for elven souls.

1)
Reincarnation for elves can happen, but is exceedingly rare. It’s usually seen as a penance for rights that must be wronged (in the new life), or “I can’t be happy in Arvandor until this unfinished business is dealt with,” … 2)
…and said unfinished business often involves avenging family or mate or close friends.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 17, 2020

Would you be interested in a little guide on stat modifiers based on class?
I’m along the lines of being iffy on racial modifiers for ability scores in #dnd, would you be interested in a little guide on stat modifiers based on class 👀?
It’s a generally small bonuses of +1 to one of the primary stats of the class but for story purposes Example: As a monk did you primarily focus more on your combat ability or your wisdom of mind?
+1 to Dexterity Or +1 to WisdomI've been doing this for a TTRPG of mine with those stats and also gonna start adding to my DnD games too
— Gabe 🎲 (@GabeJamesGames) March 26, 2020
I myself agree, and while I know it’s part of the dregs of older editions that has endured, I myself would prefer class-based modifiers as well (and hope any future editions lean this way).
