D&D 5E Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide: Player Content Guesses

I hope at the very least they have a table with all the Gods of FR, the whole freaking pantheon.

A top notch poster map of the Sword Coast. I miss the large beautiful world maps from the old box sets. Even as a standalone product I would buy this.

I currently have on my game room wall the 4 poster Realms map from Dragon, the 4 poster Pathfinder Golarion Map, the poster of the inner and outer planes from Planescape, and a custom printed map of my homebrew.

I had Greyhawk on my ceiling from ages 12-20 or so.

I hope to see Bladesingers as elves only and I hope we see a War Wizards of Cormyr sub-class.

I'm not very familiar with the War Wizards--what do you think they would need that the current wizard subclasses (particularly evocation) don't have?

 

[Jefe Bergenstein]

I fully expect Red Wizard to be background, rather than a subclass.

I could see that if they replaced the term "background" with "faction" or something, and let you pick one or the other at creation. Backgrounds tend to be broad and not class based. Although I am amused by a Red Wizard barbarian who was a jock who went to wizard school on an athletics scholarship and never learned to cast spells.

Then you could have Harpers, Zhents, Knights of Myth Drannor, etc.

Agreed, but it would require a more robust rules for factions in game.

How much more robust would they have to be than the current ones? I think that abstraction is necessary for them to function properly.

More like better structure to what each renown rank entail. For example if you are rank 2 what does it mean in the game world? Is there something the player can strive to? That sort of thing.

I want mostly fluff and lore in this book and maybe only 32 pages of crunch (assuming a 160 page book). I'm not sure that's what we'll get though since it is described as a player's option book... that probably means at least half of the book will be new backgrounds, races, classes, etc... for "every member of the adventuring party."

I also want some pages that talk about the world in general and what it is like, something to sort of put a frame around the Sword Coast region. Not a lot but something.

I'm ok without a big poster map of Faerun. WotC should put that up on their site as a free download for everyone (I wouldn't mind the option to buy a paper copy of it too though). I'm ok with just regional maps of the area.

Honestly I.don't care if its in the book or on the website, I want a map of Faerun, its frustrating that we have no have no idea what happened to regions like Tymanther/Unther, Mulhorand/High Imaskar, Akanul/Chessnta ect...The PHB at least confirmed Maztica's refurn.
