The word race seems to be a misnomer from a time when racialized people, nationality, ethnicity, religion, where all conflated together. Species might be more accurate, but opens up another cane of worms.

I miss the smorasbord that was the Legend and Lore book. Greek, Egyptian, Norse lore, but also tge Round Table and Lankhmar...

Yeah, no. MtG is way more popular than D&D or a streamed show. It is way more profitable for WotC than Wildemount will ever been because it has the larger fan base.

The black border reminds me of late 2e products (some call it 2.5). I understood why Ravnica was chosen over Dominaria, but Theros? Its NPCs and artifacts aren't the most iconic. If I'm a MtG fan qui wants to see MtG inspired D&D products, I'm not looking for Greek mythology flavored D&D.

D&D is so well known that it influenced Warcraft. Than Warcraft became so popular that it influenced D&D and we got 4e. At some point it is all self-referential.

But being masters of everything is only useful when the party doesn't have everything. No rogue? The cleric or wizards have spells for that. Have a rogue? If the cleric or wizards waste spells on rogue abilities it is bad management of resources.

Snikrs. Bonner. Snikers.

Children who do not age are vampires.

Kinda weird this isn't released with a FR centric AP or supplement, but is released with a Critical Role supplement. Especially since they share the explorer theme.

I'm fascinated how we went from FR books only to Ravnica, Eberron, AI and this. Yet I do not feel engaged to buy them. The content of the Ravnica book was lacking and no one is talking about it anymore.

What ever happened to DnD competitive e-sport announced by WotC?

Doing a re-read of 1984 by Orwell. First thing that comes to mind is that today Winston wouldn't have a job. Algorithms would do it for him. Also, the parallels with the current surveillance capitalism and a surveillance state isn't the same. Except Maybe in China.

I'm reading the Umbrella Academy graphie novel. It is quit enjoyable. Better than tge TV series. Does anyone know if the other two graphie novels are as good? Thank you.

I thought you had a lottery for that?

This ritual sacrifice of a bird, is it done to gain the favor of a magical entity or to appease it?
