I like EBERRON for it's diversity, magitech, elemental ship, lightning rail, the history of the Last War and the mystery for the destruction of Cyre, the factions, the Dragonmarked Houses, the twist on otherwise standard species, the cryptic Dragon Prophecy and so many more....

Here's more infos on the Hommlet Trilogy from Baldman Games FB

Sorry to hear you how you feel about the game today, i really hope you will find a way to enjoy it more in the future. D&D is a great Roleplaying Game! But it's also one that is very volatile in terms of the experience you can get, depending on a multitude of factors. Like wether you play...

Personally, i prefer firearms to be an optional rules in the DMG or splatbook than be in the PHB core rules like the latest 5.5

IMHO 5E has pretty long range weapons already that can fire up to 600 feet away but most combat encounters occur in a much shorter range than that making those rarely be that effective. But with proper layout they can shine for sure.

I never liked firearms in my D&D, besides few exception, such as when playing in EBERRON or other campaign where they expressely can be found, they don't exist.

AD&D 2nd Edition is one of the longest i played with, i can see similarities with 5E for sure, but THAC0 vs d20, Saving Throws and Ability Checks vs DC makes the engine run differently at the same time. Feat also so distinctive. But Vancian magic, Druid metal taboo, the Races/subraces traits...

Even Monks are proficient with Simple weapons and Martial weapons that have the Light property, which include: Dart, Light Crossbow, Shortbow, Sling and Hand Crossbow.

All 5.5E Classes are proficient with some ranged weapons.

A chance they didn't think that way back when or else we would have never get EBERRON so i'm really glad we did get it released.

New campaign setting would be cool indeed! When WoTC did a setting fan-made contest in the beginning of the century where Keith Baker's EBERRON won, the 2nd place was also pretty good apparently IIRC. WoTC why not release it or do another of those contest?

Which one i prefer depend of character build, but in itself i like Protection Fighting Style for it's catch 22.

Always nice to see new DRAGONLANCE novel by Weis & Hickman. PS Really love the artwork for the book cover!

Spacehog, a form of Sciuridae rodent known to dig through Wildspace fabric to create dimensional complex of multi-chambered tunnel systems used as lair for sleeping, raising young, and hibernation.

Clyde Caldwell's artwork contributed significantly to my passion for D&D in the 80-90's with some of the first images of quality depicting this world of fantasy! It's nice to see this anthology artbook published.
