Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Whether WotC will use the material or not depends on the reason why they cut it. If it is page count/space limit and priority, then they will likely publish the material (probably through DDI). If it is design choice (you know, like: ''A drow who thinks freely? And he/she is [i:168oy0q3]good[/i:1...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Thanks for the efforts you put in trying to get them back in canon, and thanks for caring about our corner of the fanbase. It is really appreciated, as the new Realms should be inclusive and shouldn't deprive [i:2fuzp42p]many[/i:2fuzp42p] people of what they like, especially when it adds so much ...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Yes, I agree that we're better off forging our path, as Shir'le said (and that's what everyone has already done with FR material, ignoring what they dislike and playing as they see fit, even before people at WotC came up with the'' canon is yours to choose from'' obvious motto) but it'd ''warm my...

Re: Would EIlistraee forbid...?

<t>IIRC, in both ''Faiths and Pantheons'' and ''Demihuman Deities'' it is said that priestesses of Eilistraee dress in the most practical way for the situation. So if a priestess thought that an helmet of any kind could save her life, she would wear it. However most of them go in battle with light a...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>Yeah, I know, I read CK too, and we have hints from one of the authors in this very thread. However freelancers only have so much pull and info on official decisions, and the pages uploaded by WotC look exhaustive to me (as I think that Eilistraee and Vhaeraun deserve at least their own section -...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>WotC didn't upload actual excerpts of the book, they gave people the table of contents of each chapter in it (and they've covered the whole sourcebook, according to the meager page count of 128 on Amazon). And nothing that could even remotely hint in any way about Eilistraee or Vhaeraun, or the F...

Re: Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue

<t>[quote="Shir'le E. Illios":d4g1we3w]<br/> The question is not whether Eilistraee will live on, the question is whether WotC will.[/quote:d4g1we3w]<br/> <br/> Indeed. However, I'd say D&D itself more than WotC (and this is sad), since even in the worst case (i.e. 5e flopped), they'd still have...
