Sorry, no UA this December (https://www.sageadvice.eu/2017/12/0...advice-articles-published-this-december-2017/).
Interesting...This is a bit of an aside, but I remembered another thing Crawford said in that interview that might be of interest. He said that one clue that a given UA article is on a topic that they are seriously considering for a product (in other words, not just a random experiment like Mike's alternative initiative rule or a very early try at something) is when his name is associated with the article. In other words, once he gets involved the idea is far enough along that they are making a serious run at it.

There is not a zero chance of an official Warlord.
Having seen both the revised hunter and beast master rangers in play, I can say that I can see why they might want to pull back a bit on the base class features. The revised ranger is VERY strong. Pretty much guaranteed advantage in the first round of combat is a bit OP IMO. Plus completely ignoring all difficult terrain? Yeah, that's a bit much.

What you meant to say is that YOU want there to be a zero chance of an official Warlord. You simply got fact and want mixed up there bud.

Yeah, my biggest beefs with the revised ranger was that many of the features didn't just make them*better* in the exploration pillar, it flat-out negated most challenges of the exploration pillar. It was just too much.
