We can see in his write up from the preview that he isn’t being tormented like other Dark Lords. The Dark Powers are just keeping him at bay. If he’s the dark lord of the domain, he isn’t active. It’s likely his dreams or just his presence that are causing the torment in the domain.

Much of Ravenloft is just recycling horror stories. Strahd is Dracula, Mordenheim is Frankenstein, etc etc. It makes plenty of sense for Ravenloft to have a domain to cover every version of horror, including Eldritch. Now as to why Cthulhu and his mythos specifically? Name recognition. If...

They could have. But with how improved some of the 5.5 versions are, it’s fair to assume people want the same treatment for their favorite subclasses. Necromancer comes to mind especially.

I do not believe it was confirmed that there is more than one book for the Season of Champions. In fact I’ve seen other articles saying it’s only 4 books this year, so it likely is just one more.

So they will be releasing two new Artificer Subclasses over the course of two years and not touch it again for the life of 5.5? Sorry, but I do not see that happening.

Honestly it kinda fits the criteria for both ideas. What better way to follow up on a High Magic book than Dark Sun, which is in many ways low magic.

This feels like they just had the domain and needed something new for it, so they made an ad that pushes to D&D Beyond.

Which may be the case, but in that case even more reason for them to release Artificer in the Basic Rules. They cannoty afford to reprint that much material over multiple books if they are going away from "Of Everything" products.

Not saying it isn’t a player book. But in many ways so is Heroes of Faerun, but it’s not the generic “PHB 2 Replacement” that stuff like Xanathars and Tasha’s are.

I’m not sure Unleashed is planned to be that either. Doesn’t strike me like a Tasha’s situation. But it is possible I guess. It’s more likely to me that they only reprint it (and the Psion) whenever they do another Everything book.

They used to. But that stopped them from making new Artificer subclasses or any other supplemental material outside of Tasha’s. And the people that made those decisions are now gone. Since 5.5, they have shown a willingness to break those trends. The DMG and both Faerun books reference other...

Just reprinting isn’t a free option either. It takes a lot of page space, new Ravenloft focused art for the class and subclasses, and then pay for the pages they are adding or remove more content to make room. It’s much better for them long term to just add it to the Basic Rules or have a...

If the Beyond Product came with a caveat it would solve any legality issue. Or they just release the Artificer into the Basic Rules if that’s really their concern.

Yes, I do. Much like how Heroes of Faerun/Adventures in Faerun had text that told players to pick up Monsters of the Multiverse for Genasi, Sea Elf, Eladrin and other options that those books mentioned. I think they are past the point of worrying about those issues. If players have the book...

At the very least, Dark Lord stat blocks. Probably some new monsters.
