So how likely is it that enworld impacted the sales of Strix in a local game store or the guy in the store always tells anyone else...

Sure. I'm not saying it's good, I'm saying it's bad because it was cut to death (and the MtG lets-save-on-the-art-budget tie in was a...

Stryxhaven is far from slop. It's bad, but that's because WotC abandoned it and cut it down from a boxed set to a short book, leaving...

Oh! I meant Stormwreck being more linear. I owned Icespire, but hadn't used it so gave it to friends with teen kids. Phandelver, Rime...
