Not my jam, but whatever. I definitely see the made for digital distribution aspect of the redesign. I'll still call them WoTC "wotsee" just to mentally disturb @Umbran.

You just triggered half of the Star Wars fandom with those words! :D I tend to agree. I think we will AT MOST get an OK movie. I'm not expecting much.

To me it looks like they were looking at Castle Ravenloft when Strahd pops up out of no where and they are instinctively following the flight of the crows off to the left. I've like every single standard cover over the alternate covers. I'll have to order the standard one special since my LFG...

Yeah, that stuff just never really inspired me. I'm not saying it's bad, and I'll probably still buy it, but it will probably be a purchase for completionism's sake rather than because I honestly feel I'll use much of it.

For me, they picked the most boring of classic settings. I'm glad for the horror fans, but I suppose I'm more excited about the Candlekeep book now.

This was my introduction to Dungeons & Dragons. I played it for quite a while, my 10 year old self probably not grokking half of it correctly, but it was a solid entryway into the hobby. My father even photo copied all the characters sheets so that I wouldn't have to mess them up. Definitely a...

For sure. I completely (don't) understand the publishing challenges which means that if MCDM chose not to I know there is a very good reason for that. I agree, we might see some sort of POD option at some point, which would be good enough for me. It isn't going to stop me from buying something...

I bought it. I think it is worth the price. Might even join the Patreon at some point as well.

Oof! Looks like Arcadia is going to be digital only.

That's the one. I will admit that the color coding and reference cards are nice, but I don't see much actual value there in gaming time. I haven't heard many people complain about the 5E Starter Set like you have.

I'll order this as soon as it becomes available. Looks great!

I can't help but wonder if part of the problem is that everything has be a big glorious full-color hardback. I feel like they could do several softcover releases the size of 3.X adventures or splat books for every one hardcover that someone may or may not be interested in. I dunno, I'm not in...

One thing that I think should be embraced for D&D media to really work is to show the in-world and at the table story a la The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.

It seems to me like this starter set feels like something that would have felt right at home next to D&D starter set from around 2005. It doesn't seem to hold up well to direct comparison to 5E's starter set. Not very impressed, honestly.

Meh. I mean, I'll probably get it and mine it for ideas, but I'm not super excited about it.
