Can't wait for this next subject, but I would have loved for you to go into the detailed, and fabulous, history if an entropic immortal would suddenly gain the upper hand! God speid!
I got a question and you may have already answered this somewhere else. But doesn't the presence of the FSS Beagle mean that there is a whole space capable civilization out in the void?
That is the greatest 800 lb gorillas in the setting. There is a galactic empire somewhere in Mystaraspace that might still be out there. I might need to add them to the list of topics though actual information is pretty scarce
@@francisdoherty5580 Average age of an Empire is 250 years, though in Mystara it would be more because Thyatis and Blackmoor lasted a 1000 and Alphatia is still going. But even then I do not see an empire surviving over five thousands years.
Several reasons. One, Immortals of any type are bloody impossible to destroy. Getting rid of them are almost impossible. Second, many entropics play by the Immortal rules. Many of them are part of alliances with other spheres like Hel and the Hollow World Council. The ones that don't play by the rules get ganged up on by other Immortals regardless of sphere. There are evil immortals not part of Entropy, they aren't targeted like Entropics are. The worst of the Immortals that break the rules get put in time outs like Arik and Demogorgon.
I see a flaw in nix's plan what are the vampires going to drink? Also any undead who does die I screwed as they can't reincarnate as no one will be born, unless she makes some solutions to this she is fucked long term.
no no no, that can't be what happens, obviously, the kobolds need to come out of nowhere as the strongest faction, Order of the griffin need to discover they've been worshipping an evil elven Immortal all along, and the shattenelven get revealed as the one true elven people who were really meant to have the tree of life but just didn't turn up in time, how magic works and its nature needs to radically change for no reason, and it needs to end with Duke Stefan absorbing the radiance to gain immortality to buy time for a poorly explained magic ritual to fight the entropic immortals that now just want to blow up reality, only for it all fail pointlessly in the end so WOTC can fail to sell Mis'star'ra Age of Stefan.
So if Idris and Atzanteotl both want to exterminate the Elves, did they ever consider teaming-up? In 1010 timeline it probably makes more sense, with Alfheim refugees going to Wendar. Or would they rather compete over who gets to destroy the Elves?
It's Christmas at ground zero

the radio just let us know that this is not a test!
I heard that in Weird Al's voice as I was reading it. 😂😂🤣🤣
Never turn into a snake. It never helps.
The artists you use go with every situation perfectly. I love it. ❤️ 🐶🐕
Also, Far Realms? As in deep space? Dimension of Nightmare? Anything-not-too-attached-to-outside-becmi-stuff?
It's got a very brief mention with Arik. As I can figure it's an outer plane that the demiplane of Nightmares is the border realm next to the prime
@@Mr_Welch Heh, when was that? Tail end 2e thing?
@@docnecrotic I used codex immortalis
@@Mr_Welch fair enough, but I think Far Realms deserves a better named Mystara equivalent
I'm gonna need stats for wereopossums.
Yeah orkus is a big fat guy and it makes me happy
Was that MST3K's Mike Nelson?
The destroyer of worlds
So Nyx can use a lot of the Blood of Vol stuff from Eberron…
Oh for a D&D death god that isn’t evil…
you mean like Wee Jas from Greyhawk?

@@EvilDoresh Exactly. But the "death association = evil" is particularly annoying.

I'm always seen it as a possible cross over with Star Frontiers.

@@Mr_Welch I have some of the SF books and a couple of the pdfs, if you need Star Frontiers info.
Seeing how Blackmoor devices have a tendency to create large craters if you press the wrong button, maybe this space empire had a similar blunder.

Who is this Nythia character?
The nation of Nithia?
So why are the Entropy Immortals tolerated by the other Spheres? Seriously why isn't there a hot war between most of them?

Just to be sure, this is a jab at Games Workshop?
Also, Age of Stefan sounds super hialrious for a name.

Atzanteotl does not play well with others. Chronic backstabbing syndrome and all that. That's his biggest issue, nobody trusts him. With good reason.
