D&D 5E WotC Shares Theros Table of Contents

WotC has shared the table of contents of Mythic Odysseys of Theros. Well, part of it, at least.

Update -- thanks to "obscureReviewer" on Twitter, here's a fuller image!

Still waiting on a Forgotten Realms Atlas that covers the entire world or an actual D&D campaign book.

It's still surprised to see no hoplite fighter archetype.
Something that makes spears good.

Man, talk about missed opportunity. I would love that.

If you have Odyssey of the Dragonlords, they have both a 'Hoplite' Fighting Style and a 'Hoplite Soldier' fighter subclass, both of which lean players into playing spear & shield warriors. If all you want are the player-facing material for that book, you can get the Player Guide to Odyssey for free on DMs Guild. It also includes Greek-themed subclasses for all twelve classes for those that want more character options.

Interesting.

Here is the players guide Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Player's Guide - Modiphius | Free Products | RPG Quickstarts | Odyssey of the Dragonlords | DriveThruRPG.com

And here is the "Adventure Book" Odyssey of the Dragonlords: Player's Guide - Modiphius | Free Products | RPG Quickstarts | Odyssey of the Dragonlords | DriveThruRPG.com

Which is a full adventure path/rulebook. Interesting. Nice to see WotC kind of experimentation in books like this in 3rd parties.

I thought it was TSR's CCG debacles.

It was a mix of bad business decisions, some of which included releasing a lot of stuff for settings that weren't actually that popular among the player base. It appears that the current management at WotC disagrees that publishing many settings was what made TSR fail.

 

[darjr]

It wasn't the only thing. It combined with box sets that cost more to make than they were sold for. A questionable financial relationship with their distributor, that was more gambling than sound business. Way, way,way over printing an otherwise successful product snatching defeat from the jaws of victory (dragon dice, among other things). Not knowing what their customers wanted, or really what they were buying. An over inflated level of hubris like when dealing with DC comics telling them that they would bury them and the one sided vendetta against WotC. Forcing a game line as an excuse to buy the CEO's families Buck Rogers license.

Oh, so you are the arbiter of really real D&D?

Personally, I don't think it is unreasonable for long time fans to be uncomfortable with the current trend of releasing TV show themed product for Dungeons & Dragons. I'm not a D&D player, so I certainly don't claim to be any type of arbiter, but I'd be disappointed if my favourite game was releasing this kind of product too. It seems like a bit of a sell out to me. Like seeing Flavour Flav on reality TV, it just doesn't seem cool.

How dare the company that makes D&D release popular content that D&D players want! The nerve of some companies!

They can do whatever they like. I just said to me it seems lame and I don't blame fans of the game for feeling uncomfortable with it either. Are we not permitted to disapprove of a company's commercial decisions?

You are welcome to do whatever. But nobody gets to say what is "real D&D" like they own the concept.

Critical Role is real D&D, Magic Settings are real D&D.
