it would be heard at a distance – unless specified, consider sounds or light generated by a spell or effect to be the equivalent of a mundane source. Example: Fireball creates noise equivalent to a mundane explosive.

A new player forgot to apply auto-crit on assassinate in a group I DM. This would’ve killed the target (which would be bad for the group). Should I apply the damage before the next session or let it slide? I’d let it slide

Githyanki Ideals, Power is described as the weak rule the strong. Isn’t that backwards?
Don’t have the text here, but might be a typo

That's an enlightened githyanki, knowing that the weak will inherit the earth. 😉

“Smells like stewed boar. Or human.”
1)
The cleric looked at the sign above the bubbling cauldron, noting the high price. Then he peered into the cauldron. And gave the unfamiliar bard behind the half-full pot a hard stare. “Smells like stewed boar. Or human.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 30, 2018
3)
The bard nodded affably. “No complaints so far; this cauldron was full this morning. Delicious, most have deemed it. Well worth the price.”
“Aye, but what’s so special and legendary about it?”
“Surely you, a holy man, know…#epic fantasy …the power of magic reversed. Circling widdershins, and all that.”
“I do. It’s real.”
“And of mighty magical rods that must be assembled, their powers multiplying with each piece joined together?”
“Oh, yes!”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 30, 2018
4)
“Well, this is the reverse: a stew of the parts of seven Rods! Rod Dunshield, Rod Tulknight, Rod…”
The cleric lurched back, retching.
The thief peered in. “That explains the floating eyes. Hope you gave it enough salt.”#epic fantasy— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) July 30, 2018

Does the River Styx have a connection to the material plane (and where)?
The Styx (AND the River Lethe, River of Forgetfulness), unless things have changed over editions, flow through all planes including "worlds" of the Prime Material. The trick is FINDING it…so often folks travel to another plane because someone knows where it can be found there.

When designing a game, consider the personality traits and behaviors the game encourages in its player
When designing a game, consider the personality traits and behaviors the game encourages in its player. Then ask yourself if you want to make a game for a community that embraces what you’re encouraging.

That tweet is a nicer way of saying: If you make a game for assholes, be ready, willing, and able to deal with assholes.

It’s also why D&D got out of the business of trying to “fix” obnoxious people.

I have the science that backs up exactly what you’re saying… And the flat forehead from hitting against the wall fighting designers and bosses on why they should design for community I’m happy to be in a position where I don’t have to argue about this stuff!
