I think the Mana Vault and Jeweled Lotus ban will probably be the example for inconsistent choices the community points to for years to come. The mixed signals from wizards marketing and the RC who claim to have discussed this for over a year is just bizarre.

Sunday Monday is actually so convenient

Found the blog when some great little hex maps caught my eye, found the bsky while checking ttrpg lists.

That is a surprise! How does that sneak in there?

5. Both these worlds have rightly controversial gross elements so I mainly recommend these as sources to pull from. I love the psionic vs arcane dynamic in DS and the utter weirdness DE has landed to D&D. The bottomless inspiration from a resource-poor planet on it it's way out, facilitated by magic

4. Ravenloft is a good example of each GM having a different version, especially when there were less iterations. You can make any Brothers Grimm type story happen even just leaven the castle as an imposing threat.

3. The nostalgia goggles are on and I see bottle caps and deathclaws. Fallout is great for any earthbound post-apocalyptic scifi story.

2. Orn by @emielboven.bsky.social is a great science fantasy world with a unique magic system that encourages adventuring for "Elder Ink". A great example of how a concise setting write up can go a long way. I would even consider transplanting Titan Port into most other worlds just for the factions!

1. Dolmenwood by NecroticGnome for whimsical medieval fantasy. If you like incorporating both folklore and historical elements into your game, look no further than this hexcrawl. Great factions, encounters and grounded ancestry options. Char Gen is simple yet instantly connects you to the world.

Sometimes I feel like I just want to run the game I wish I could play in, but I think the truth for me personally is that I want to see how my players react to different scenarios. I'll have and idea or read something or see a new world in media and immediately think what it would look like to run.
