I cannot count how many times nerds have asked me "so which NPC was your fetish insert?" thanks to that comic.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

It is really the result of that comic or the fact you own a copy of FATAL and Witch Girl Adventures?

a) FATAL was a gift, damnit.
b) Most of them quoted or referred to that comic.

\/\/\/\/ Yeah, totally, there was a sale for something like $10 for the entire set of books.

I always reply "all of them" when/if it gets asked of me.

I can safely say I've never been asked that question; most people just laugh at the comic.

Every character I've made is a fetish insert of some type of mine.

Especially the non-human ones.

Tell us the answer but do it rhyming-style, as the Riddler would leave a clue for Batman.

It has something to do with the fact that earth and the place where Forgotten Realms takes place were chummy chummy but eventually earth forgot about the realms.

So in other news, we're adding a random dude to our D&D game tonight for my Zeitgeist campaign. He got in touch with me on ENWorld looking to start a game nearby, and I thought I'd extend him an invitation to mine.

He seems reasonable over email, so I guess we'll see...

... No? Okay, well, something amazing happened.

He turned out to be a really good guy, meshed well with the group, and didn't have any obvious terrible habits. He is an actual adult with a real career, just like the rest of us, we invited him back, and he'll be joining us from now on.

Yeah. Basically Ed came up with the Realms BEFORE getting into D&D. Way back when, there were Earth families with portals and family connections and stuff to the Realms that they had forgotten. So the start for many stories in Ed's original vision was to be finding a hidden door at the back of a forgotten closet and discovering the Realms beyond.

This is why poo poo like the real-world deities in the Realms (Mulhorand, Unther, Loviatar etc) fits very well.

If you want to see what the Realms was like at this time, check out "One Came, Unheralded, To Zirta" on candlekeep.com. It features Ed's REAL main characters for his stories, too.

Fun fact - this is still technically Realms canon, as Elminster has a portal to Literally Ed Greenwood's house where they can hang out and share beers and are best buds.

No. Really.

No. Really.

Also canonically Elminster has a secret treehouse moonbase with a fridge and a Frigidaire air conditioner. Also his favourite beer is Budweiser, which he imports on his trips to Yellowstone.

We don't talk about this stuff.
