So I added Modern, Wuxia and Mystery to my vote, now that we are allowed more as I would like them and think that the rules needed to support them would be useful additions to the core rules.

@Zardnaar, @Maxperson, this is a pointless argument because at the heart of the nature of rpgs in general and D&D is that both point of views are supported and valid. There is no correct way to build a world and if the people are writing the setting are doing their job it should be possible to...

I voted Urban Fantasy because I like Urban Fantasy and nothing really catches my attention in the other categories but that I would really like to see in new settings are to go back to the idea of modular extensions of the existing rules. The this is, I think that the current rules are pretty...

Not for a long time and not as far as I remember sales data. Roll 20, D&DBeyond and FantasyGrounds used to release usage information occasionally but not recently as far as I know.

There is never going to be a published setting so detailed that there is no stuff to make up or not have gaps where stuff needs to be made up. I believe I would not be very interested in one like that. Too much information is worse than too little. A setting book, is akin to a colouring book, it...

I am gonna tout Mike Shea's "Return of the Lazy DM" @SlyFlourish , got a website an all, tons of advice on low prep rpgs

I have not read the books or played the game, just watched the show and do not think that anything in D&D matches out of the box. Niche wise, they are closest to the Ranger but the ranger spellcasting gives a very different vibe to the ranger so if asked to build one I would start with the...

Well, I have seen the monster stats also, though not perhaps, the 2024 MM versions but if I was thinking along the lines you outlined I would be thinking of doing most of my thumping via cantrips and the casting stat.

You are levelling as an EK, right? Seem silly to go with Wis, yes, it is a good save but why not pick up Mage Slayer later for the occasion where you really have to make a save. I think is you are going all out on cantrip attacks then do it on the casting stat you are levelling up on. To not do...

Why are you pushing Wis, the EK is an Int caster, why make it more MAD than it need to be. But that said, it seems reasonable.

The Bladesinger, is not going to compete with a melee class character in their area of speciality but that is not the point. They are pretty good at melee but still a full class caster.

We are going to have to agree to differ on this one, though I have no doubt that the epub on cartography would probably work on a large enough screen, and the pdf is still unreadable on a small screen.

My bladesinger works fine,:D I have the relevant books but they have not undated the relevant spells in the new Realms books (and they were SCAG spells to begin with) so new players will not have or know about them.

well, you might, but I am not a fan of softbound rpg material unless also in a smaller format as they just will not sit side upright on a shelf.

Personally, what I would like, is a book where the setting is outlined in a small number of pages, similar to the DMG but a number of more detailed locations for each setting, accompanied by a bunch of one-page adventures. May themed about some adventure premise. Perhaps a low level planar...
