I forgot about the dragon riders on the back of the standard cover. I wish I could get the alt cover with the dragon rider illustration from standard back cover included somewhere inside.

It's a bit refreshing to look at a D&D cover and see characters who could belong to fictional ethnicities which aren't one-to-one stand-ins for real-world ethnic groups. If I squint hard enough, these characters look a bit like any of a dozen different people I know without exactly matching any...

I don't know. That video looks suspiciously like clickbait. I mean, look at that cartoon arrow. :P

Apologies for mischaracterizing your video. I blame the context in which it was posted. Of late on this particular forum, I have to assume any link posted in a thread asking if WotC has screwed up again is clickbait, since accusing WotC of hyperbolic malfeasance at the drop of a hat seems to be...

Is the battle master finished and completed with necessary maneuvers, though? The battle master feels a bit like a demo of a really cool subsystem that was never actually released in full. If we had a complete battle master subsystem, I wonder if this thread would even exist.

Maybe the sample setting in the upcoming DMG 2024 will be a Points of Light setting...

I don't know about WotC, but the Youtuber mentioned in the OP clearly screwed up. The thumbnail for their clickbait video is missing the obligatory cartoon arrow and extraneous stock art of a woman looking shocked. Someone has really dropped the ball here.

I've encountered fan-run organized play groups which refer to games resembling Arcane Academia as "storytelling games." The category includes games whose main focus is free-form roleplaying and/or world-building based on story prompts and few, if any, rules. I imagine those groups would place...

The Malatran Plateau seems to fit fairly well where you placed it. And placing it there fills space that isn't otherwise used. Seems like an elegant solution to the problem. Probably more elegant than the solution I'm thinking of using, which involves extra-dimensional shenanigans. That kind of...

Cool. How did you decide on your placement of the Malatran Plateau? I'm guessing you went with the description originally appearing in Polyhedron 102, which places the Malatran Plateau "near the middle of the southern jungles of Malatra."

Great summary, and good luck with your map series! I'm currently trying my hand at making a 5e globe of Toril, so I've encountered most of the same resources you mention in your post. One resource you didn't explicitly mention, but which caused me some consternation: the Chultan Peninsula map...

Please don't repost this on a MtG forum. It might give WotC ideas.

Baldur's Gate 4 spoiler: At the end, you must choose to release the blue dragon, the green dragon, or the red dragon. All three choices have the same narrative impact on the world.

My old-school terms for those categories: • Lightly wounded • Moderately wounded • Seriously wounded • Critically wounded

Nice. Sounds a bit like the Elemental Tempest paragon path.
