In general, I would have liked less of the ideas from UA to end up on the cutting room floor. Grittier rules for taking long rests Shorter short rests. Sometimes they are desperately required in some of the official adventures, but they take too much in-game time. 10 minutes would be nice Less...

STA already adds the Security rating as damage dice. So I could imaging that it is 2 + Security rating as Stress.

Probably that they are using that system from now on. It‘s also in the digest-sized rulebook from the Tricorder set.

Thinks about Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine. Dungeon Magazine quite literally has hundreds of adventures. Some of quite stellar quality.

Nope. It's a definitely a silver. Like it was mentioned above, D&D dragons are visually distinguished. Gold dragons have wings that run along the complete length of the body and most of the tail.

There is nothing like a silver dragon to say 50th anniversary… except… they could have used a gold dragon instead? ;)

Isn't the discount for owning the Legendary bundle? At least that's what Beyond keeps telling me...

„When a Star Falls“ gets me excited for the book. I own most of the UK series, and haven‘t run that one yet, but several times thought about running the module with 3e back in the day. For 5e, I haven‘t looked at it yet. But obviously will soon. It‘s a really memorable module, I think. Also I...

So in essence, US and Canada will be able to get physical books at the same time as DnD Beyond preorders?

Greyhawk would feel like a fallback to D&D 3rd edition... also not sure if that would make sense considering 5e's initial focus on Forgotten Realms? On the other hand, nothing else would say 50th anniversary like Greyhawk. The Nentir Vale would be a nice callback to D&D 4e. So far, concepts and...

Is it just me, or does anyone else see the Nentir Vale in chapter 8 as surprise setting?

Oh... the cover is bad, I didn't recognize Kitiara and Tanis at all. I think the heydays of Dragonlance are over. If I remember correctly, the line wasn't that popular during the AD&D 2nd Edition run either. For 3rd edition WotC even licensed it away to Margret Weis Games. I wouldn't be...

Late reply :) I would have expected a GenCon release.

I suspect that the PHB design took longer than expected. They weren't even keeping to the originally announced schedule of the playtests.

I loved Dragonlance in the 1980s. I find it interesting that Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragonqueen and the board game didn't sell well. Which doesn't surprise me. They tried to pitch Dragonlance as "D&D at War". And I never saw Dragonlance that way. Dragonlance showed back then how special a...
