That's a hot take you're going to be hard pressed to find a lot of agreement on!

I'll back your right not to like it, but... "realistic"? It's a floating gathering point in the Astral Sea... of course it's not realistic! "High Fantasy is not for me!" will do nicely. I can't find fault in that.

It seems to me that whenever they Remaster an old Adventure, they ought to at least look at any sequels or supplements, to see if they can fit in any tidbits. It seems like a no-brainer to me, even when the material isn't perfect.

Did they make more than 2?

Ah! That actually makes more sense, in fact. I suspect that our disconnect is there - I was only ever speaking of remixing old adventures in general - someone else suggested that particular one - and you were expressing your distaste for "updating" that one.

Shrug. Could have been longer ago. Not sure it matters. I was talking about "someone who worked on" a hypothetical reworking. Which, let's be honest, isn't likely to happen, and it was only ever used in this thread as an example of a possible adventure that has yet to be updated, but...

Like I said - I'm not a fan of the original. I tried to run it once twenty years ago or something, and I felt that it was everything that I don't like about dungeons. And yet, I'd be happy to see a new version, in particular if someone who worked on it was able to show what they feel is good...

No idea. Never liked it myself, but I am aware that some folks remember it fondly. No skin in this game, me.

Uhh... I like Gygax as much as the next guy, but I think you're wrong here.

Ideally, they do both (and in this case, they do!): They update some classics, and they write some new stuff. It's one of the few ways we get to experience the best of both worlds.

That's Themberchaud, who's a bit of a joke as a Fat Dragon, as seen in the D&D Movie. He was in Gracklestugh in Out of the Abyss. Here he's shown fighting the 80's Cartoon Characters. Or in other words, he's not supposed to look like what dragons normally look like. (That said, they HAVE been...

I don't rely on Dungeons & Dragons as my source for Q1 sales. We don't normally have D&D books to sell before May. Keep in mind that the MM24, which came out in February '25, was supposed to be out in '24 Q4. And Q3 and Q4 D&D books almost always sell better than Q2 ones. There's a reason why...

Believe it or not, TEN. It was ten years ago that Hickman did his Secret Wars!

That will be true if we don't hear anything by the end of February. Otherwise, it's all fine and sensible.

I more than agree. Have you ever read Perkins' 4e update from Dragon Magazine of Against the Giants? It was excellent. It even had a fourth location, the Crag of the Stone Giant Thane. When I heard that adventure line was going into TFtYP, I had hoped to see that one, updated once again...
