I wanna touch on this point because I think this is a common misconception. Go read the credits of the book and you'll see the names of a ton of WotC staff and people who have worked with WotC on other projects. It isn't like Matt Mercer handed WotC a complete campaign and they published it -...
When they both were announced, my answer was Staircase, because I've really enjoyed the anthology books for the most part. But after seeing the adventure list (I'm really not into Barrier Peaks's sci-fi and Tsojcanth is just more of the dungeon crawling we got in Yawning Portal) and hearing Eve...
You know, if you doubt their claim you could also do a bit of research. I'm sure they didn't feel the need to provide evidence because it just seemed obviously true to them.
But if you want some evidence, here are a few poll results from reddit and the D&D Beyond forums. They are by no means...
Man, I was really hoping they'd leak who the important Eberron NPCs will be, I'm so curious about that. I also wanna know where in Eberron they'll set that part of the adventure - I'm assuming Sharn as Rising has a massive Sharn focus, but I'm hoping for something more interesting.
This looks like a really cool book that I'd love to have, but I can't really justify spending $100 on it. Maybe it'll go on a Christmas wish list.
Love listening to the interview though - Jason Tondro sounds like he really enjoyed making this book.
Not sure how to answer this based on the games I run. I generally like my players to stick to official content where possible, for a number of reasons. However, I DM in Eberron a lot, and I allow any and all Keith Baker Publications material, and that's 3PP. So my answer is, "I don't allow most...
We don't know for sure what will be printed in the 2024 PHB, but the latest playtest version of Action Surge let you do any action except Magic actions (like casting a spell). However, if you believe you can break up your Attack action to use your Action Surge to cast a spell in the current...
We saw 2 versions of the Bard, and both of them were during the period where they were still testing the idea of having 3 general spell lists - Arcane/Primal/Divine. The first version had them using the Arcane list but only certain schools of magic, and moved some features around to different...
You're assuming they don't know when they're releasing the books. They probably do, or at least have an internal target date they haven't shared publicly.
The only real naughty word-up from WotC was their Social Media department tweeting out an incorrect date. It's an embarassing communication error...
All of the AI art was from one artist, Ilya Shkipin. The Adze of Annam is by Isabel Gibney - and I'm looking at it right now, and I don't think it's AI art.
Unfortunately, a lot of accusations of art being AI generated sounds a lot like people talking about Photoshopped pictures back in the...
How can it be alphabetical and then by level? No two spells are going to have the same name, so if you have a top level sort by alphabetical, that's it. There is no second or third level sort. Unless you're just talking about adding a list of the spells by level at the end.
I personally prefer...
When D&D Beyond replaced the AI art in Glory of the Giants, it didn't come with an announcement from WotC or any word on if/when the published books would be using the new art. I reached out to customer support to ask, and I thought people might be interested in the response I got.
My question...
I don't think you understood what I was trying to say. I'm well aware WotC typically includes player content in supplements and settings and markets the book to both players and DMs. But this specific set has so little player content that there's basically no value to someone who would only buy...
I'm surprised they made this video. If you sell a book to DMs and you add some backgrounds and feats, they act as a nice little cherry on top that a DM can share with the players if they're using the setting. But by making a "New Player Options" (and magic items) video, it gives the vibe that...
