It's not a big deal either way. The book is, by its nature, meant to be both a generic Arcane Sourcebook, AND support for the follow-up Thay Adventure. I'm not going to get into an argument with you on just-how-generic it is, seeing as I DON'T KNOW. All I was saying was that they can be, and...

You've got some good advice here. I'll just add: Don't flesh it out too deeply - point form or vague ideas is plenty enough to go on, and you can get started faster, and you can let your players be more involved. Not necessarily by inventing stuff themselves, but by asking you questions that you...

I don't see why not. They're not Sword-Coast or the Dalelands, sure, but how much do we know about Arcane Factions in Thay post-1500dr?

I seem to recall that DC Comics has their own Thor, and that he's a Bad Guy, and that he's much closer to mythology than Marvel's.

Probably depends on how cute they are!

I expect that we'll still see cries of "Disneyfication", even with that Strahd cover where he's clearly murdered a few people and is sitting back, enjoying a glass of their blood. And sure, yeah, there's the sugar glider familiar, too - but it's a range. Maybe the range is broader than it used...

We seem to be "nu-uh"-ing multiple things that are all true. They are marketing the game to 12-24 yo AND they still care about the demos that skew higher than that (many of whom will happily buy this book). There's a reason that they are carefully including new material and updates and artwork...

Team Fusion It seemed prudent to stick together as a group, and North was decided as the safest way forward. While Loklafd returned the kayaks to the water (no easy task, as the cave with the ancient obelisk was high above the water, with a rounded, steep slope that plunged almost directly in...

It's pretty usual for nothing until May. So I guess... a single month's delay?

I can't wait to tell my FLGS players to limit their new PCs to the Clarence versions. I am so glad that they will no longer be confused!
