D&D (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

I don't see Birthright or Mystara in that list, and I'd personally think those settings would be less likely to get mentioned than Dark Sun.

I think the closest they'd come to 5E Birthright would be a setting-agnostic book expanding Bastions into full-fledged domain rules, with Cerilia as an example setting inside the book. I just don't see them ever saying "hey, you know our fourth-tier kitchen sink setting? We need to get that back into print."

(Mystara would be the third-string, for those counting.)

Magic Item resilience was a short paragraph in the 2014 DMG and wasn't even listed in the table of contents. It's listed in the 2024 one - is there any difference/new stuff added?

Are Artifacts changed at all and if so, how?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Is it possible yet to have a meaningful campaign without keeping strict time records?

Yes.

(As an aside, I've only just started to keep track of time in my games, as I used to just 'wing' it - but I've been running PBP here for years, and it's SO SLOW that I can't possibly remember what time of day it is, what day it is, or even what season it is, so I've had to start!)

Wait. Is that list missing Mystara?

Confirmed, Mystara is not mentioned as a D&D Setting in the 2024 DMG table. Cannot say if it is referenced in other places but I’d doubt it.

I can answer this. There’s a table titled “D&D Settings” that lists the following:

Dark Sun
Dragonlance
Eberron
Exandria
Forgotten Realms
Greyhawk
Planescape
Ravenloft
Ravnica
Spelljammer
Strixhaven
Theros

Forgotten Realms confirmed!
I called it months ago, nobody believed me.

Clearly is should taste like pineapple.

I fill out a timeline in my ongoing campaign, which has been useful for keeping track of seasons, etc., but also helped a lot at times when the party split and was in different places on the world map.

I don't think it's necessary, but I've found it worthwhile.

Dunno if you are just reporting something you saw or if you have it...any idea on the spread of Setting referents in the Lore Glossary?

True! Half wonder if Season 4 of LoVM will go Full Vecna. That would be rad.

I suspect Vox Machina will go full Vecna. The last scene of this current series was a split second of an undead BBEG.

 

[Dragonhelm]

Does it have anything about spell points as a variant rule?

What is Jallarzi Sallavarian’s species and class?

Any changes from the rest of the Circle of Eight for species, class, etc?
