Whatever happens, this book is going to be compared to Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft in every way, mostly because it tries to sell us on the same things. Take this product information: Expanded to: Doesn't this sound exactly like this new book? Sure, there are more subclasses and stat...

I think people here could do with looking at the most recent developments in D&D products by WotC and its design. Look at the starter set, the last few products released and try to predict from there, instead of what you wish would happen.

Enlarge has nothing to do with how large species actually work. Just look at the hundreds of large creatures and the Rune Knight and Giants barbarian. It’s just flavor, and in most cases it gets in the way while exploring small dungeons.

Ah I forgot. They still got the canon operatives going through people's DM notes?

Can’t you just run the lore the way you want at your table?

The thing people have to understand is that players also want to have a slice of the horror pie. They love being Dr. Frankenstein, half-werewolf, quarter zombie. Ravenloft gives them a chance to play a bit of the monster as well. And yeah, for you that might be the opposite of what you want...

Yup, I watched Dungeon Craft's latest "D&D as we know it is over." video. No I won't link to it because I don't think he deserves the views. He says a lot, and none of it is news or different. We can still play D&D with the newly released books. Online or offline. There are more people to play...

Category B still makes people think about D&D as if it is dying. Fueling disinformation just to draw clicks to a take that doesn't help anyone. He doesn't make the video because he feels strongly about the subject, he's making the video because he wants to make money. The difference is in...

I won't ever give that kind of behavior a pass because of the damage it does to our community. We all know anger gets clicks, because outrage makes us stupid. Making videos to make people stupid, hateful and distrustful is one of the most toxic things you can do in our community, ESPECIALLY if...

I had the same experience with the 5.5e DMG. It was so generic that I just saw it as something I could steal some stuff from, but nothing more than that. My hope is that there won't be a Greyhawk book released, but something like Keith Baker's stuff getting on DNDBeyond and DMsGuild.

More Greyhawk? I had hoped we had seen the last of it crammed into the DMG. There is nothing inspiring to me about the setting, and I don’t see any reason to be excited about the son of the guy who drove the original company into the ground. They’ll release it and the same people who are...

I asked Chris via the Mastering Dungeons discord about international play: There was a test in Burbank a couple weeks ago where they tried these pre-gens:

Well, those bastion protections didn't stop me in my current campaign. Still, I can see your point. That doesn't mean it's "DM Hostile". After all, it's the DM's decision to add the system or not. You're really making a big exaggeration of a story that just tells me you would be fine in your...

Some solid points! I'd even go so far as ask them to just leave the old settings to the people who already have the books. Those people are impossible to please anyway. Make something new! But what about Bastions is DM hostile? The crafting rules, sure, but Bastions? And Dance Bards really...

I would love more fleshed out setting books like Theros, Van Richten’s and the Eberron book.
