D&D Beyond now has Tasha's available for preorder.

The April(!) press release for this is here.

About that... "R&L started out making snap-together items that worked like tiny plastic model kits that didn't need any glue and were issued in a clear glassine bag, inside Kellogg's cereal boxes. [...] In 2006, one sold on eBay for $450." [from Crater Critters]

I realise that the vast majority of WotC customers are in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific, but it is still somehow vaguely irritating to have two whole (populated) continents just ignored. There are D&D customers in South America and Africa too.

There were actually three volumes of Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home, the original (1987), a sequel More Leaves (2000) and Lost Leaves (2007). The last one doesn't quite have the same charm as the first two, but it does have about a dozen pages of recipes including Kender Stumblenoodles...

On the plus side, I pulled White Dwarf #39 out of the cupboard to double check that reply, only to discover that there was a picture of K'ooriall, so I scanned it and added it to the aarakocra article.

No. The first aarakocra god (K'ooriall) appeared in White Dwarf #39, in an article titled Inhuman Gods, but the aarakocra debuted in the Fiend Folio.

The index I linked to a few posts up includes all 1st, 2nd and 3rd edition monsters, including things from adventures and from Dragon, Dungeon, Polyhedron and Imagine magazines. It's at least 99% complete. And yes, of course a half-fiend vampiric gelatinous gibbering mouther deserves to be...

Heh. Of course, now I'm obliged to correct my own correction, because I've realised there was never a BECMI version of the aarakocra :p

No chance. I'd say the aarakocra has "medium" coverage -- it has appeared in every edition, but doesn't have many variants. There are plenty of monsters with a far more extensive publication history (including the vampire). If I was to guess, I'd say that the lowly zombie is probably the most...

The third entry in the Monster ENCyclopedia has been updated and revised, with rescanned images, additional material (including the catoblepas's appearance in the Spelljammer comic) and coverage of 5th Edition. As usual, here is a poorly laid-out PDF version of the article as a bonus.

That doesn't sound right. Dragons of Spring Dawning was released in October 1985, the same month as DL10: Dragons of Dreams so by the time the first three novels were out, there were already ten adventures available for the setting. Or by "become a setting" did you mean "get a dedicated...

This entry in the Monster ENCyclopedia series has received a much needed upgrade. It now covers the 5th Edition barghest, some of the other sections have been expanded, the existing images have all been rescanned and a bunch of new pictures have been added. As a bonus, here's an (amateurishly...

Now with 50% more feathers! I've given this entry in the Monster ENCyclopedia series a fairly thorough overhaul. It now includes all the 5th Edition material released since it was first published in 2014, as well as expanded coverage from several earlier sources. I've also rescanned all the...

Oh, I definitely think about updating that index quite often...
