These books were immensely helpful when running Star Wars. My sources were mostly DK books.
My daughter's going to love this. If you have someone wanting to expand alchemy this book would be helpful.
The market is very politically charged now. With half elves, alignment and orcs being inherently evil causing a backlash i can't see how Darksun wouldn't bring the same market forces out to complain about Darksun. They'd have to get rid of alot of what made Darksun interesting to appease the...
The 5e realms book is being done by Ed Greenwood. The writing of it and the lore should be good.
Generally though after WOTC attempts at DL, and spell jammer being skeptical is warranted.
I'm ok with letting things be shelved. I'd rather Wheel of Time and Witcher series never manifested...
EDIT: Also the shackles of Hasbro really screw this up. One reason that Greyhawk is so awesome in the fan community is that Roger Moore is directly involved. It would be great if WOTC could hire Troy Denning free lance like they do Ed Greenwood to work on the setting. At the Planescape time...
No they didn't but they were there for it. The fans know the material inside and out. I would trust them WAY more than the new team at WOTC now that Perkins is gone. The new creators likely wouldn't have experienced it through play. The fans would have, and also be familiar with what was...
Moving the Forgotten Realms forward 100 years likely contributed to a whole edition being ill received. Retconning would really change the world to the point that there is little reason to do it.
Kyle Brink did NOTHING but say stupid stuff about the game itself and its player base. But also the people that don't work at WOTC anymore are the people that KNEW Darksun.
There is no way WOTC would do Dark Sun correctly. I would rather Darksun be remembered as it was than make the Kinder Gentler Darksun for a new audience. I liked Planescape for the most part, but Spelljammer was awful. I like Darksun alot. I don't think the new creators would know what to do...
With Perkins Leaving I'm not sure the institutional knowledge is there to do Darksun well.
They should work on a new setting because the institutional knowledge has left D&D. Greyhawk was done reasonably well in the DMG but there were people that knew it well working on it.
Fans would...
What about the psionic subclasses that took up option space in phb24? I like psionics but it seems they had a system in place. They left out the artificer because they knew it would be better in the expansion with more treatment.
I found the psionic subclasses underwhelming and now wish they...
