If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Interesting that the Hickmans seem to be playing both sides. They're going ahead with Dragonlance while creating their own IP that doesn't seem to be owned by WOTC.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Not yet. I suspect they wont release more information before the kickstarter to get people to check it out just to find out what is going on.

Yeah, but I don't read ENWorld anymore, ever since they went stupid.  So can anyone summarize what it says?

Its been 20 years but the wiki says yes:


QuoteIn the Realm of sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land.

From what's been said the game starts at a former prison colony kept on a distant island patrolled by airships.

Those airships that used to patrol the island have left and not returned giving the former inmates the chance at freedom.

It sounds like they gain access to an airship of their own that they need to rebuild and maintain and are looking forward to returning home now that they have the means to do so.

Does this mean they're political dissidents or prisoners considered too dangerous to keep imprisoned in their homeland and too important to kill?

Still plenty of questions to answer ahead!

Sounds like a solid campaign hook. Might snag that for a game, if I'm willing to allow airships, or substitute something else for them.

Hm, reminds me of Matt Leacock's Forbidden Desert.

Latest release seems to indicate the playable races.

I don't see elves among them.

Need to double check!

Edit:
Characters are of Sentient Ancestry namely Dextean (physical), Faean (magically?) or Shapen

Dextean (Force Sentients) Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Ogres

Faean (Magic Sentients) of which shapen are part of,

Shapen- Dragonborn, Halfling and Tieflings

There's probably more to this than that so we'll see.

Beastean (Force Determinants) basically animals

Aethean (Magic Determinants) magical creatures such as Dragons, pegasi...

Sounds like they're coming up with something to replace the alignment system.
