The Mythic mechanics from Theros are, indeed, a good way to stat Great Wyrms. And since they said "it is like fighting two creatures back to back", your approach looks solid enough.

So...In the beginning, there were Dragons. And they created lairs to dwell. And they hoarded treasure there. Their lairs came to be called Dungeons. And mortal souls would venture there with a ten-foot pole. And we all saw that it was a damn good game... but we ditched the ten-foot pole.

Got it. I still think there is a general misunderstanding about how the warlock-patron pact works. AFAIK, there is no written way for a patron to strip the warlock of his powers (again, only the Paladin has an oathbreaking mechanic). The warlock learns how to unlock those eldritch secrets and...

So, you're saying we should ban the iconic, standard, PHB fiend warlock from the whole game, because "people generally don't play on the good guy's side and call out to 'Daddy BBEG' for their powers". Warlocks, by definition, are people "driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power...

100%. Even the guys of Vampire the Masquerade, supposedly less combat-focused than D&D, are working on "a free-to-play supernatural battle royale" (closed alpha state). No reason to restrain D&D to only one style of videogame.

2E was the first RPG-thing I played back in school in 2000 (damn). A year earlier, my folks got me a Hero Quest box, and I ran it a whole year, playing twice a week so I probably wrote countless dungeons for that thing. After 2E, I picked up White Wolf's Vampire and Werewolf, and played those...

I does have a market. VTTs are being used a ton nowadays. The hybrid formula you mentioned made me remember the video announcement for 4E "The game remais the same!", showing a digital companion and all. And there we got the Planescape setting/campaign book, straight outta an AP. Sounds good...

Fair enough. If it's worldwide, all the best. I do think they can do it via AP and the "angered fans" will swallow whole the bait once again, happily playing the new summer adventure in the Dalelands while remaining surefooted WotC wouldn't dare to publish anything but a Realms-wide book for...

1. In the future, such settings could work like two sides of a coin, and could be published together. For now, I think they'll say it's a separate thing. 2. I think it counts, yes. The preface goes "In these pages, you'll learn about the history, lands, and peoples of Faerûn, of the great...

I'm pleased with the possibilities for two "brand new D&D" settings. Always nice to see (possibly) fresh ideas. A new setting designed with 5E and "modern gaming" (whatever that means) in mind could be very interesting. Theros was a nice book, for example. I also lack the general nostalgia/wish...

Well, I know jack about US Law, but I'd like to see WotC trying to sue me across the globe with a "twitter-post survey NDA" as proof... They're just making themselves look like fools.
