PP gets a bad rap with some folks but for me it was pretty formative - not just for my love of Dark Sun but as D&D as a whole. It was one of the first D&D novels I read which really focused on a small group of adventurers and told from all their viewpoints. Ordinary folks rather than the great...

The feats are good, full of flavor and tactically relevant. There are a few changes to Dhamphir too necrotic resistance for instance.

Do they? Which lost civilizations are they?

Well Hlondath and Anauria 750+ years. It’s not so different to Byzantium.

There were Netherese successor states too as the ground holdings consolidated. It’s pretty much equivalent.

Yes. This makes it roughly equivalent to Ancient Rome. If it’s too far back, like 7,000 years then there wouldn’t be remnants left. It works fine.

I know these are first impressions but it feels like a lot of conclusions and not a lot of description of the product itself. What kind of items, what kind of magical hazards, what makes it interesting. My preference would be to focus on the product contents rather than make value judgements...

Its hard to get twitchy about $15 for a product with something creative that will be used repeatedly, when anyone who sells coffee on the high street makes 90% gross margin on every latte.

It’s the law of supply and demand folks. If you accept the price then buy it, but recognize that no one forced you to do that. If you don’t accept the price then don’t buy it and tell WotC that’s why you didn’t. They’ll then make a decision about whether it’s worth doing at a lower price in the...

You are a champion! That has made my day, I only checked 6 hours ago and probably wouldn’t have checked again for a good while. So thanks for that. I think the value of high res maps in that format makes the price worth it for me. I’ll be buying shortly and I can make the month. C7 is Southern...

I mean Eberron FOTA is and Eberron RFTLW was a splat book. The Forgotten Realms players/Dms Guides are and SCAG was a splat book. Ravenloft VRGTR is a splatbook Planescape has a splatbook as one of its volumes. Not sure where you get the idea WotC only releases lore through adventures...

I don’t know about that. I do know that companies I buy from, Free League, Cubicle 7, Modiphus are international but based in Europe. I get stuff earlier from them. I know because we chat about it on the discord and I see updates on Kickstarters about distribution. I certainly don’t feel like a...

D&D Baby!! In the year of 1993

What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts. I get a lot of European rpgs faster and cheaper so I can’t complain that the American ones take longer. At least I’m not paying import taxes on this stuff.

Probably not much different when it comes to actual adventuring (as opposed to flag waving) Assuming it does come out then I’ll be very interested to take the 2e published adventures and see if any become invalidated by the new setting… I strongly suspect few will.
