Hopefully, they can continue to make such settings lore/sourcebooks for those neglected or mismanaged older setting books too. After all, 2E and 3E put out multiple books for every setting. Faerun is especially so large it cannot be tackled in one book. I think we have a good chance of getting...

.... and nothing of value was lost. The most this project can boast about is that it outlived Concorde, but it otherwise ended up pretty similarly as that trainwreck.

I have the old Red, used my bonus one year to get it. I would have gotten the rest, but I live in a small flat, so no chance of that. I dislike the new designs - I won't even buy miniatures of these new Dragons. The Red is still the least changed, but I don't care for the weird S-shaped mouth...

Naaaah. They are awesome, even up close. I think people who do miniature painting themselves have some ridiculously high standards. Compare these minis with the ones WotC used to make for D&D or Star Wars. Or heck, compare them with the Wizkids Heroclix minis with their flat cartoony colors...

We got a sort of snippet of it in Spelljammer including a lot of monsters from the setting, such as S'surrans, Braxat, B'rogh, Gaj, and such. I think Dragonlance was more of an adventure book than a setting book. Planescape was far better. The new Faerun books are also separate for the lore and...

I am mostly a 2E purist, but I like the Topaz, heck I like all the Gem Dragons. WotC never gave us minis of any of them, despite them existing in some 3E books, so I am thankful for Fizban to reintroduce them and Wizkids to make minis of them! The new design is rather faithful to the old one -...
