2026 Dark Sun books here we come.

We must be reading different books. Seems like plenty of hard facts throughout both volumes to me.

That NPC is given the Mage stat block in that adventure for when/if she is unpolymorphed. So effectively Shadovar NPCs just use Humanoid stat blocks.

When they laid out that slate, they did it in August. We are well past that at this point. I think it’s more likely they are going back to solo book announcements.

I don’t think Mackenzie is leading D&D, but she is certainly its main spokesperson. Mostly because she has an infectious love for the game. But there are a few other designers on the team with a more senior position, including James Wyatt and Justice Arman.

This is a wild take. It’s ok to say the two box sets were disappointing without sensationalizing. There’s still plenty of good stuff in both sets even if they aren’t as robust as people were hoping for.

Your post I replied to was saying “wonder why they didn’t mention Delves.” I responded to that point. There wasn’t really much more to say. The post I have above talks about the stuff the adventures reference that aren’t in the 2014 rules.

It references the new rules for social interactions, new rules around exploration (frequently calling for Study, Search, and Utilize actions that aren’t defined in the 2014 rules), calls for monsters from the 2024 Monster Manual (some of which aren’t in the SRD), references the new rules for...

Character Sheet is a channel that caters to rage bait for generating views. Those types of channels don’t care about accuracy, they just try to stir the pot.

Dragon Delves is right there. It requires the new rules. So the premise of this post is just incorrect, the FR books are not the first books to rely on the 2024 rules.

I’m convinced we will see a Ravenloft book in the vein of Forge of the Artificer and a pair of Dark Sun books in the form of the Forgotten Realms books. Then, you’ll have: Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Eberron...

I have ran two of the level 4 adventures at my locals the past two weeks (including one the day the books released) and we had 3-4 hour sessions that were a blast to play with very little prep and some improv on my part. There is absolutely enough meat on these things to be a full session, and...

This is a bit overly nostalgic in the view of 2E/3E era products. There has never been a consistent meta plot or even any form of accuracy regarding realms events across different mediums, outside of the series themselves. The Elminster books aren’t reacting to the Drizzt books aren’t reacting...

Truly cannot wrap my head around how someone arrives to this conclusion. These two books are probably my favorites in all of 5e outside of the core rules.

I’d bet they just scrapped it.
