As someone who backed the unfulfilled 2014 KS, there's no way in h*ll that I'd back this.

I need to know more about the Debatable Lands.

You can just say "roll damage with advantage." :)

The PHB Rules Glossary says that a "monster" is any creature controlled by the DM, even if that creature is benevolent. Personally, I find that a poor definition of the word, but that's the official stance. Can we all agree (of course we can't) that the book is called "Monster Manual" because...

As someone who DMs a lot and doesn't always have a lot of time or motivation to do a lot of prep, I like the campaign books. I'd also be okay with another compilation of conversions of older adventures, just because I enjoy that stuff. But we're not that far out from Infinite Staircase, so...

I have the same mixed feelings about these as I have about glow-in-the-dark dice. Yes, they're fun, but how would you actually use them?

Forever DM here. I hope they made all the monsters 50% tougher. I'm currently running the Vecna adventure, and I swear no one at Wizards has any idea how to challenge a high-level party. All the fights are much too easy for high-level characters. Obviously, I can do things on my own to make them...

I realize this is my own fault for not nominating it, but no Adventure Time RPG? Or is it not eligible for some reason?

"Accommodate up to 4 dices..." No! Bad ad! If you're selling a dice-related product, please use the correct plural. (I know everyone hates pedantry, but come on!)

Man, I really wish they had put more effort into those DM tracker sheets. They look like someone dashed them off in five minutes. Why is there a huge box for "alignment" on that NPC sheet? You really only need space for two letters. I've seen a bunch of third party "campaign tracker" products...

I'd love to have a clearer description of what the music actually sounds like. It's really hard to tell what to expect from the super vague description in the press release.

Do we know if game stores in the U.S. will be able to get more of the alternate cover? I spoke to a gentleman working at a game store in Columbus, Ohio tonight who said they are not able to order more. Of course, the same guy told me the book only contains rules on "how to create characters"...

Yeah, me too. We're getting new Forgotten Realms books and an updated version of the Keep on the Borderlands. That's fine and all, I mean, I'm as nostalgic as the next guy, but MAN it seems like they play it safe over there at Wizards. They've done a handful of new things (like Radiant Citadel...

I'm also annoyed by all the creature stat blocks where they list the "mod" and "save" value for each stat and all the numbers are the same. Like a giant weasel has a -3 as its Int mod, and also a -3 to Int saves. There are more elegant ways to do this....

"A creature is your enemy if it fights against you in combat, actively works to harm you, or is designated your enemy by the rules or DM." I mean... was there some confusion on this point that they felt they needed to clarify? Seems unnecessary.
