Starting d getting into Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition with my kids. My oldest son is really getting into speed running as a concept, really nice to share a little slice of 80s nostalgia with the Gen Alpha brigade.

Current Backertracker projection:

$4,536,403 from 18,117 backers now, in the top five already and bigger than any 5E crowdfunder...with 30 days to go. Should pass Draw Steel! today, has a pretty good shot to pass Cosmere, will probably come close at least.

Should have been in the new PHB, no lie.

Yeah there was a bunch of DM toll information in Van Richten's not being reprinted here based on what they are putting down, and even if it has a bunch of the same Domains that isn't necessarily a reprint if it is a different approach to them.

Honestly, there is no indication that they will reprint a bunch of stuff that was in Van Richten's here, similar to Rising from the Last War and Forge of the Artificer. Supplement rather than replacement.

I mean, I always said that his being in Ravenloft was the most likely eventuality, and it does seem to be where the artpeice is from. However, that does not preclude Champions or another upcoming Season being Dragonlance, with all the other Dragonlance stuff going on (such as the new premium...
