1997-98 Fun Fact: I wrote a handful of material for the Hercules & Xena roleplaying game by West End Games, which was never published because of that company’s bankruptcy. No, I didn’t repurpose any of it for the Theros book…

The material I wrote was never published. The game was. Sorry that was not clear.

2020 Fun Fact: I totally wrote more Homeric hexameter for this book. I am drunk with power. Drunk, I tell you!

Just Announced: The new #DnD book @aquelajames and I have been helming for the last semi-age!

Check out details on Mythic Odysseys of Theros ⬇️.

And endless thanks in advance to all the phenomenal authors and artists who worked on this.

It’s going to be something special! 🏺 https://t.co/kJYEK20iBl

Ever since I did Plane Shift: Zendikar in 2015, the question I’ve heard most often is, “Will you do Theros next?” This book has been tremendous fun to work on, and I’m so glad it’s finally announced!

Though I think we are both misinformed on passive perception as a whole so could you explain it?

I get what he’s saying, and honestly it’s entirely up to the DM whether to use passives or just roll instead. Either is fine.

Alternatively if y’all want to use passives but not decide success/failure in a concrete way, DM could essentiall make Stealth checks for the traps.

“Kings are…called to kings?”

“No, Lord, but really,” Palonder puts in, waving his sword at the newly-arrived ghost, who is now gliding menacingly forward, “why are we encountering so many kings? Are they somehow attracted to His Majesty, here?”
“Yes.”#epicfantasy

2)
“Kings are…called to kings?”
“No. They don’t even know he’s a king, until he tells someone he’s King of Neverune—which as you know, he does every few moments, like clearing his throat. No, they’re attracted to all the ghosts3)
…warring inside his head. They’ve never seen that before. It’s like an incredibly-well-endowed woman catching your eye.”
“Er, I’ve never seen…”
“Yet when I said that, and waved behind me, you LOOKED behind me. Just in case.”#epicfantasy

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) June 5, 2020

4)
“Well, yes, I…”
“Am only human. That’s how those who are successful in life GET successful. They know humans.”
“The right ones.” 5)
“Oh,” says the ghost, disappointment clear in its voice. “Not philosophers. Just cynics.” And it turns and glides away.

You know what D&D needs? More giant robots.

You know what D&D needs? More giant robots.Okay hold up okay hear me out. Okay. Warforged Giants.
The idea of warforged being created by average sized humanoids exists So who’s to say there isn’t a society of giant artificers that have created warforged figures in THEIR IMAGE

— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) June 4, 2020

Have you checked out the warforged colossus in Rising From the Last War?

I like the “giants built them” angle!

In my last campaign, a race of Lizard Folk from another plane had Gundam level tech and were engaged in a civil war. Players encountered them in Sigil. Long story and a civil war later, our Lizard Folk player had a mech in the end. Got the stats somewhere if you want them 😉 Amazing

In The Shadow Marches lies a certain Slug Keep, what might a group of adventurers find upon exploration of it?

In the far western territories of The Shadow Marches lies a certain Slug Keep — what might a group of adventurers find upon exploration of it? Slugs!

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) May 25, 2020

Sentient slugs? With arms? Or just a vunch of small slugs?Delicious slugs! Redtail slugs are a delicacy in the Marches, and Slug Keep is the heart of the slug-farming industry. Rumors of giant acid-spitting war-slugs and of soldiers armed with acidic slug-throwers are most likely exaggerated.

How agriculture is functioning in the Forgotten Realms, because of threat from monsters and wilderness?

October 15, 2020Zoltar Leave a comment

@TheEdVerse Hi Ed! Big fan of FR since 96. How agriculture (and basically everything else) is functioning in Realms, because of threat from monsters and wilderness? How can I best explain that to my players?

— Saša Medan (@Medan_DM) July 9, 2020

1)
Local subsistence farming goes on everywhere in the Realms, as everyone has to eat. Most folk grow up knowing the wilderness, with monsters roaming it, is all around them, and that and farming and gleaning wild foodstuffs is just daily life. Roads and merchant… …travel along those roads, bringing food and goods from afar, are constantly improving, so everyone is seeing more food/less starvation, and more cool new things they can't make themselves, all the time.
This is what "everyone" is used to, "normal life." :}#Realmslore
