I love that nobody's called attention to the fact that all of them are named fun fruity flavors and then Death's flavor is just called Death.

None of the other locations listed are particularly "iconic" about 5e, and to say each one is iconic even to a specific edition is a little bit of a stretch too honestly. When I think Ravenloft, first and foremost thing I think about is, you know, the castle? Where Strahd is? And since he's...

Back to Death House? Damn, instant turn-off. Might genuinely skip this book just because of that.

A little before the pandemic I believe, but I'm not surprised that it took so long to get back off the ground. I think part of the reason they stopped was because WoTC started doing business with Amazon directly, after that the release date was pretty firm between the internet and the stores...

Nice, I love when something that used to be the norm (with 5e books at least) goes back to being the norm again.

My biggest gripe with the spellcasters in this UA (that unfortunately bled into the following UA, though less egregiously) is the fact that they're touting extra spells known (spells which, at the time, were exclusive to them in the Arcane/Divine/Primal list system) as full class features when...

Do you know what mods they were in off the top of your head? I'd love to read them over, even if they're just relegated to (use [this or that giant] stat blocks), I could use death giant-related storytelling fuel for one of my campaigns.

Well, I went back and watched the video where they first announced it (Wizards Presents 2022), but apparently they do just say full campaign. And that is fair; There's no precedent for an "entire campaign" to go all the way to 20, especially how 90% of their other modules don't go to 20th level...

There was some confusion about it, so for anyone curious; The Phandelver adventure was advertised as being a full 1-20 campaign module, which not only makes the fact that they're cramming the whole original start set adventure into it impressive (considering the next longest adventure book...

Acq Inc. just had a game this past weekend that took place on Greyhawk and also featured pieces of the obelisks. Historically, Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford have used the promotional games to tie into and be backdoor pilots for current and upcoming story content, so I'd say the reality of it...

For those discussing price, here's a breakdown of what it would cost to get those minis as singles if you didn't want to buy that pack on its release date (using MiniatureMarket for prices, though they admittedly undercut a lot of other online storefronts for prices except eBay): Owlbear: $8.50...

God that'd be so funny, imagine a less intense Blood Bowl made just for a sight gag or a one-off joke about the Super Bowl, it'd be the biggest waste of resources but I'd laugh so damn hard.

It's not unrealistic to assume the first draft was probably handed down by someone at or above Kyle's level, or perhaps just an outside source that lacks a full understanding of TTRPGs. The way the response is structured, when it reached WoTC's hands and they had the power to say no to it to...

I was of the understanding that it actually is going to be MCU canon, insofar as the show itself is part of the fictional universe and there's a reason the "real life" X Men sold their likenesses to have a show about them made.

This warns the Magic player in me that there'll probably be a Secret Lair drop in March that includes a crossover for the movie, not that Ultra Pro hasn't made accessories specifically for D&D before but that art on the binder/playmat looks better than your standard run of the mill concept art.
