Flat-Earth Atheism is certainly an annoying trope.
Round-Earth Theism is pretty annoying too.

I think he means this.

Also, is there any other devblog that keeps you so much on the edge of your seat?

Indeed I do. If anybody was getting worried I'm religious, look no further than this; I'm heathen as fuck.

Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

You'd think that, since the majority of earth's population is religious, one more would not cause such a reaction.

On the off-chance there's a reply before the release:
From how far away will visitors come? Will it be a case of no human neighbours=no human visitors or will travellers journey to the far ends of the planet in search of legendary Dwarfish mead and dingo roasts?

This is also somewhat up in the air given his statements of support for a slider-based system of magic levels in worlds. From none to zany. I imagine that there might actually be good cause for "magic isn't real" sentiments in worlds where it's either not at all present or just slightly present.
Zany, you say?

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

I'm pretty sure that using "Eberron" as shorthand for "fantasy setting with insanely high amounts of magitech" is not going to get me sued any more than using "kleenex" in place of "facial tissue" would.

Wow that joked passed way up over your head didn't it?  ::)

Anyway... I think early Christmas release would be something like second week of December.

If anything, Erebor would be more likely to get me sued than Eberron would, since the latter has a much broader fair use policy. If the irony of that was the joke, no, it wasn't lost on me, I just saw no humor in it.

What is the criteria for creatures coming to visit?  Would gorlaks, troglodytes and trolls, or wandering overworld animal-folk be able to walk into your taverns and start partying or will they still operate as wild animals?  Will wandering gorlaks/trogs/trolls/animal-folk be equipped with weapons or armor or skills from interacting with other civs?  I haven't seen kobolds mentioned in the visitor examples, are they capable of visiting?

They are definitely capable of visiting your tavern. Whether they are capable of paying for the things they take is a completely separate question.

Are there any plans fiddling with SVN? It could, conceivably, simplify a lot of things.
