“Once I have drunk the blood of all the town’s virgins, I will destroy all accessibility ramps to my lair. Mwahahaha!”

looks great! It would be nice if you included some literary inspiration as well.

Spelljammer confirmed!

This is probably the product I’m looking forward to most in 2024.

Since no one in this thread suggested that the physical copies should be free, I'm not sure whom you're complaining about and who has lost the right to be heard.

This makes me feel much better about it. Thanks for the info!

I'm excited about the 2nd edition, but wow, is their playtest expensive! $48 for the softcover playtest rulebook and $25 for the first playtest adventure. And it's not a complete ruleset. You also need the Pathfinder Core books. I hope they'll release it online for free.

I think we might be on the same page as far as the worth of boycotting all things 5e, but we have a disagreement about how branding works. The analogy you use is fitting. Star Wars Monopoly is still Monopoly because it still has the name “Monopoly.” If Lucasfilms decided to create their own game...

The rules might essentially be the same, but D&D is a brand, not a set of rules. Thus we have 5+ rule sets all with the same D&D name. You are not buying the D&D brand when you buy Level Up 5e or another “clone” nor are you directly giving any money to Hasbro. I admit validity to your argument...

Looking through much of this thread, I can see that many people don't understand the point. The only relevant arguments against the OP are that a) nobody is avoiding buying 5e due to their feelings about Hasbro, and b) supporting any kind of 5e supports the whole ecosystem of 5e, and therefore...

If $4 million+ is the best that MCDM ever does, that’s nothing to cry about.

Love the artwork attached to this article.

While I appreciate the gist of the article for D&D, I'm not sure I agree. Star Wars did not revert to a multiverse; Disney just decided that the Legends novels weren't canon anymore. And Middle Earth doesn't have a multiverse as far as I know. Since those are two of the largest franchises, I...

I think they need to come out with a basic version of the game. I guess that's what the starter sets are for, but I'd like to see a dedicated rulebook for beginners. I fear this new version, with its extra feat at 1st level and the various weapon properties, will turn off new gamers with the...

I hate the name, but I guess you can’t judge a book by its title.

I think many people, myself included, were hoping for a more meaty setting book. Technically, 96 pages of setting are 50% more than what we got for Spelljammer, but if you compare it to something like Eberron, which is 320 pages, it's still meager. Even if you remove the bestiary and the...

I think it’s more the term “half” because of its real world equivalent. To call someone “half-Black,” for example, assumes whiteness as given. At least, that’s my understanding.

LOL I must eat my words. It is exactly Tony DiTerlizzi artwork!

The artwork for Planescape at least looks reminiscent of the original artwork, if not exactly Tony DiTerlizzi.
