Well actually the Infernal Warmachines are in hell, not Faerun, and they're not hot rods, their infernal machines powered by damned souls, and is that any weirder then Spelljammers?
Well, I'm taking the phrase "diabolic hotrods" directly from WotC themselves, as they described it in
this interview about 'Descent Into Avernus'. I understand that this part is in hell, but it is directly linked to this new campaign which begins in Baldur's Gate, bringing it into a FR campaign, and hence my concern. There's been some awkward fails in D&D's past, of course, but there's been more of it in later editions IMO, and this silliness would seem to be a greater risk of turning up in BG3.
