    The Troy movie did toy with the idea that the Greeks are the bad guys, actually.

    I guess that is going to depend on which bits you actually like, and how that aligns with modern tastes.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    I don’t think that has anything to do with WotC though. Playing the same game in the same genre week in week out for ten years has to get old, no matter what. I guess I would be excited by the Exodus tabletop game if it looked like WotC were going to take it seriously.

    It’s a matter of page count, not how they are packaged.

    Justice Ramin Arman Promoted to Game Design Director of Dungeons & Dragons

    They really don’t. You learn more about what’s in and what’s out just by being a school teacher than WotC are aware of.

    I wasn’t really thinking of the supernatural stuff. Irrespective of it it goes for grounded or high fantasy, it still looks very conventional.

    It looks like a sequel to Troy! Yeah, I know, it is a sequel to the Iliad. My point is, the movie Troy was a dull conventional adaptation full of Hollywood tropes and anachronistic armour. I would hope for something more, well, unconventional from Nolan. Even the telling of the story in two...

    That’s what high quality market research is for.

    Justice Ramin Arman Promoted to Game Design Director of Dungeons & Dragons

    Hasbro is an excessively cautious company, that has been producing the same products for many decades (heading for a century), and expecting to continue to be able to do so forever more. Occasionally, several years too late, it tries to play catch up. A successful company should be anticipating...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    You said yourself, groups were siloed. That makes it pretty much impossible that there was any uniformity in play style. In effect there were as many different playstyles as there were groups of players.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Radiant Citadel is a town sized mini-setting, it’s as detailed as it needs to be. And technically, it’s listed under adventure compilations, not settings.

    Spelljammer and Stryxhaven* you mean? Third from bottom ain’t good. *and Stryxhaven gets credit for attempting something different, even if it needed twice as many pages to be completed.

    Yep, I doubt the changeover would have lead to products that were well underway being axed, but a change in the marketing strategy with regards to products being announced seems likely. Especially given the string of foul-ups with regards to the marketing being done and then the product being...
