This. One of my work friends on the other side of the country had always expressed interest in me running a game in the past when I traveled for work. More recently, he told me that he had gotten into D&D game nights with his son at local shops. When he started talking about the games, though...

This feels like it's going to be even harder to follow. To be fair, I've never played in a West Marches campaign, so maybe I'm just overestimating how chaotic it's going to feel, but I think to what it would be like watching a non-bingeable TV series where it would rotate between three...

Dark Matter isn't on D&D Beyond... you're thinking of their Valda's Spire of Secrets release (which is only a fraction of the actual book). I don't know how they convinced the D&D Beyond team to create an all-new class, since the D&D Beyond backend is a nightmare to update from what I've heard...

The link in the first paragraph seems to be pointing towards that Twilight Sword RPG from another article, and it's broken. :)

Where do you see this? In the character creation workflow? When I look at the Sources page, it's clearly in the Partnered Content section.

I just saw the preview article for the Body Bag. I can't believe I never thought to create a D&D version of The Stuff, a movie which freaked the crap outta me when I was a kid.

I thought Neil did a great job voice acting Astarion, but I didn't really care much for the character. I only used him when I absolutely needed his talents. He was rarely part of my party through the game, though.

I mean, you are owning something... the limited, ephemeral access to something you otherwise don't have the corporate-granted privilege to look at. LOL

While I'd prefer physical, we're in the age of DriveThruRPG, itch.io, etc. The thin modules I used to sit in B. Dalton to fawn over on the weekends are ancient history...

I mean, it is downloadable content, so even if the term is historically linked to video games, technically speaking it's 100% accurate. <shrug>

I didn't mind the logo design too much (though not a fan of it), but I was not a fan of the cover art for the core books. I get what they were going for, but it was pretty ugly IMO... and I'm of the opposite opinion of you that a "normie" in a public setting would look at them and think, "Yeah...

My first thought had been a map for the DM-facing book, but I think that works much better for the... not sure the term... whatever they have on the inside, er, side of the covers. :)

I like Karlach, too, and I get that they're trying to ride the BG3 train, but she's objectively less iconic a Forgotten Realms character than anyone else on either cover. At least they didn't try to squeeze out any more mileage from Drizzt...

Don't tell me. Volo's is the only alt cover I didn't get from the 2014 line, and I'm pretty miffed about that. LOL

I don't know what I'd want for the player-facing book, but for the DM-facing book I probably would have liked some grand looking set piece featuring one of the main cities.
