D&D (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

What are the Vision & Light rules? Is mundane darkness still heavily obscured area that blocks vision entirely?

The same

 

[DavyGreenwind]

I read that they wrote the official pronunciation of Tiefling is "Tee-fling".

Did they explain that my favorite pronunciation of Aasimar is official? Which is: "Awesome-ar"

No, it is AH-sih-mar

 

[DavyGreenwind]

How's the haste spell looking? Anything different from the 2014 version?

Tis the same

 

[DavyGreenwind]

Yeah, and talking of little fun things, does the fact that conditions are merged into the glossary mean that we've lost all the amusing illustrations of them?

I believe so...

Each toolkit includes a short list of things you can make with it. IIRC the disguise kit listed costumes as something you could make.

The entries don’t provide as much detail as the ones in Xanathar’s did (so no list of what’s in each kit, for instance). Each entry does list the cost of the kit, though.

@DavyGreenwind in one of the preview videos, I caught a glimpse of some pages with the new character sheet design with the different bits marked or numbered. I presume there is an accompaying key explaining how to read the sheet or something and that's why it's labeled?

Yeah, they split "Create your character" into 5 steps, and label each part of the character sheet according to the step it corresponds to (1. Class, 2. Origin, 3. Ability Scores, 4. Alignment, and 5. Details).

The copyright page mentions Dark Sun. Is Dark Sun mentioned anywhere?

How about other Setting

I found another Dark Sun mention, in the Halfling entry of all places, referring to the "territorial mob of Halflings like those in the Dark Sun setting"

Wild. Would be crazy if theybdo end up doing something with Dark Sun.

Dark Sun confirmed!

 

[Parmandur]

Dark Sun confirmed!

Shoot, now that Greyhawk is in the DMG, the only horizons are Dark Sun, Mystarra or Birthright

 

[Nikosandros]

Dark Sun confirmed!

The one strange thing, IMO, is that the Worlds & Realms book coming this fall does not include Dark Sun, but it does include Mystara.
