I expect changes, but probably nothing earth shattering: similar to MotM kevel shifts. The big thing is thst this book us not revising or reprinting much lore: Rising is stikk the book for actual setting details.

And they were bubling Dragon Delves with Fizban in direct orders. They reference a ton of 5E books in the new DMG, suggesting them for use.

They ate keeping Rising from the Last War in print: in fact they are selling it as a bundle with this book, and are not repeating the Setting info by and large. This is a Supplement to Rising from the Last War, not a replacement.

I mean, it is that or just roll over and die. As it is, frankly their odds are grim. Yes, nobody would contribute to the Coca-Cola Defense Fund. But because they have an ongoing relawith fans, it is not crazy to ask the fans for help, if they want to see more books in the future. Maybe a PDF...

And there we go, the big personal reason she left to pursue advancing her career. Same as Perkins & Crawford, as I said was the Occam's Razor explanation based on ehat was known: https://www.enworld.org/threads/jess-lanzillo-joins-white-wolf-as-creative-director.714271/

I mean, this is an existential threat to their continued existence as a publisher: maybe it isb"unseemly", but they aren't in a position to be proud or stick to proper etiquitte.

Not to go too far off-topic...but thwt us essentially what the upcoming Plotweaver system from Brotherwise Games is doing, starting with the Stormlight Archives RPG (with Mistborn and generic Fantasy versions in the pipeline): basically takes the 5E Skill system and it's math, and makes...

I really wouldn't read too much into the Beyond marketing copy: they said a lot of things in the run up to the Cpre books that was blown out of proportion and didn't end up being that way (there was some kerfuffle where some muckraker or other was making a stink that WotC was encouraging hostile...

Yeah, but they don't even need thwt: the PHB guidance on how to use older Backgroudns suffices.

Yeah, just not sure if they will bother to update it considering the changes to the Houses and to the Backgrounds system...and their active upsetting of Riaing from the Last War. The old Background is usable with the PHB rules as is. Yup: Half-Elves renamed, Kalashtar, Shifters, and Changelings.

Right, but the generic Background "House Agent" doesn't them really need an update, since the Dragonmarks are now backgrounds. I dunno, I just expect it well might not to be there.

Maybe: but they aren't reprinting the Sragonmarl Spwcies options. Given the total reworking of Dragonmarks, I wouldn't expect it necessarily.

It wasn't fans that turned off, as I recall: they found thst general audiences were confused and didn't like it, same as the confusion gwnerated by "Player's Handbook II" or "Dungeon Master's Guide II". The only people who like it seem to be those nostalgia already for the specifics of the early...

Good call on Archeologist and Magewright. I would actually assume they won't update House Agent, since they are specifically bundling Rising from the Last War with this book.

True, but I think feeling excited and dubious here at the same time wouldn't be crazy. Room for both emotions.

And I mean, it's not like Descent into Aver us went out of print: hack, they gave away the Gazateer for Baldur's Gate (which is chonky) for free on Beyond when the game did finally release in full.

Reject false dichotomies! Though with James Wyatt still apparently involved, I feel fairly excited.

Well, yes, they said in the Wberron UA thwt each Dragonmark Feat was goijg to be the Origin Feat for a Baclground. Of the 28 Feats tested (of which it seems all got in), thst is 13 Origin Feats, for 12 Houses and Abberants.

Yeah, I would not expect anything much outside of Faerûn. As it is, it will be an impressive feat if Faerûn gets good detail across the board, which I think it might juat achieve.

I am curious what the 4 Backgrounds that are not the Dragonmarks end up being: Journalist, Last War Veteran...?
