If wizards was rewriting it for 2024, it would probably be a copy of Produce Flame that deals 1d6 force damage and can't be given to others to throw. "You enchant a handful of pebbles"

Seems whoever the art director was at the time was consistent in their goal to make Drizzt look like a 70-year-old dude. On topic, had no problems using Schley's store, though it was for a digital copy.

Pretty enthused. I had a Dalelands campaign that went to level 9 or so before we ran Storm King's Thunder, and the end is in sight for that. Might have to revisit.

What I would really love is a 5e take on the Book of Lairs - just a big book of 2-page encounters featuring a different monster or NPC for each. Easy drop-in encounters.

Without reading the thread, Heroes of Athas Adventures in Athas Athas DM Screen Tenser's Tome of Totality - the next player-oriented crunch book A 5e-style campaign adaptation of TOEE. A too-late BG3 tie-in of dubious relevance

They didn't go with my suggestion, Warrior of the Hour of Happiness.

My players always have a bad time with the control spells because they try to use them on the big bad and not the big bad's lieutenant.

In the paragraph about Phandalin it talks about what's going on below the town, specifically the Shattered Obelisk and who's collecting it.

Frustratingly, the spells section does not update any of the cantrips from SCAG, such as green-flame blade, booming blade, etc. The new spells are (many/most updates from earlier editions) Alustriel's Mooncloak, L5 abjuration (bard, druid, ranger, wiz) Backlash, L4 abjuration (bard, sorc...

Me: (encourages new-to-D&D players of my new Phandelver campaign to read up on The North section) Heroes of Faerun: (spoils the plot of Phandelver & Below: The Shattered Obelisk)

I never even tried this, because as a DM, I would rather spend my time developing NPC plots and encounters than spending hours learning the tools and setting up the perfect 3d alley scene for that 2-hour combat encounter.

The Zombicide board game and its derivatives also give each character 3 actions to spend on their turns, which can include things like move, attack, or search.

Not exactly the FR content I was excited for.

Wish they would preview the spells.

Sorcerer, for if you won the birthright lottery. Warlock, if you want the easy path to power, future self be damned. Wizard, if you weren't lucky enough for the former and refuse to bend the knee to the latter.

A dragon knight subclass would've been fine on its own, but hard-linking it to a very specific nation with built-in political loyalties is/was a poor choice for a subclass.

As a 20+ (sigh) 30+ year DM, not very happy with the complicated interaction of Dual Wielder, Light weapon property, and Nick weapon mastery. Particularly the fact that there's no way to use two one-handed non-light weapons without having to use Extra Attack. I want people to be able to pair or...

I always liked that bit of unpredictability when it came to rolling your power checks in 2e, but I imagine that wouldn't fly in 5e. I seem to remember getting a powerful ability like disintegrate at level 3 was even a possibility in dark sun, though it was difficult and risky to use. I do want...

Problem is they should have known this would be a big opportunity to introduce a whole bunch of new folks to the miniatures hobby who aren't used to the marketing, and they fumbled that. They definitely can do better. A couple of random figures I grabbed, one common and one uncommon, from recent...
