I was given a gift card for my FLGS for my birthday back in March. I decided to hang on to it and use it to buy the alt cover Eberron book in August ... I am still waiting, and it sounds like I'll have to wait even longer. Maybe I should just use my gift card for something else. I could get the...

Several? There's only one poster between your post and mine that mentions the Spellplague, and they're just talking about 4e stuff.

They may very well tone it down or shove it into the background, but I highly doubt they would erase it entirely. OK. They did experiment with elemental-themed cleric domains way back at the very beginning of 5e but they never made it through to final development. I keep asking them to revisit...

Regarding point #2, as has been mentioned upthread, the new FR books mention drow enslaving surface dwellers. Regarding point #6, it’s already possible in the default 5e rules to be a cleric without a deity, so that’s not an issue.

They didn’t retcon it as in the Spellplague never happened. They retconned it so most of the Spellplague’s changes were undone via the Second Sundering (an echo of the first one). In fact, in some respects, the Second Sundering not only undid 4e’s changes but also some of 3e’s. Mike Schley’s...

This is one of my daughters. Drives me nuts.

FR still has a bit of metaplot. The newest books advance the timeline to 1501 DR, and they make mention of events from pretty much every FR adventure released since the D&D Next adventure.

Given how tiny the Tyr region is, I could be up for a new Dark Sun that takes place on, say, the opposite side of the planet.

I’m not sure all mention of slavery will be scrubbed from a new version of Dark Sun. The brand new Forgotten Realms books mention the drow of Menzoberranzan enslaving surface dwellers. It doesn’t go into any great detail but it’s still there!

The next Eberron book has a production error (warping covers). They recalled the whole print run, but due to the printers being busy printing all the FR books, they couldn’t slot the Eberron book back into the system until later. It sucks for those of us who like Eberron, but there’s nothing...

Lee Tamahori, Kiwi director of such films as Once Were Warriors and Die Another Day, has passed away at 75.

I was just thinking about that the other day! The most recent Captain America movie would’ve been a logical place for her to show up again. Oh well!

They kinda suck. Not very well implemented along with much of the rest of the book. I tried DMing it for a while. I had a somewhat similar experience to @BlackSeed_Vash. The adventure was unwieldy. Some of the big selling points, like the sailing around the islands bit, were undercooked and the...

WotC owns DDB outright. They bought it ages ago. They tried your suggestion once with the Theros book. Don’t know why they didn’t keep doing it that way.

My fixed term home loan is due for renewal. The rates are considerably lower, but I'm not sure if I want to stick with 18 months or go with something longer. Interest rates are unlikely to go much lower than they are now, so it's really a question of whether things will remain relatively flat or...
