I disagree. Most of the changes made were editing to make verbiage more concise from 2014. They trimmed a huge amount of fat. I do not think the new rules are too wordy.

In the small amount of play I've had with these use, using the hardcopy only, I found the glossary to be super helpful. Not only did it not push me to the digital (which I have) but I found it about as easy to use as digital.

I find it to be one of the best changes in the PHB. One of the most useful sections in any PHB to date. Oh how I wanted this in 2014.

OR they could have put Greyhawk there, which makes me very very happy, and left out the monster creation rules, which I don't care much about. Like I suggest. Also, they could have included a lot of art, which they did, instead of monster rules, like I suggest. Which they did.

I think they do this by feel, and believe every level poses different complexities. So the rule might have been pick an existing monster of the challenge rating you prefer, re-skin it, and then exchange any powers they have for a power of a different monster of that same CR. And you, and most...

Some posts make me concerned, but I am not afraid of those posts. Concern and fear are not the same emotions. I see you agree with me concerns don't mean fears. Unless you were expressing fear in that sentence?

Dungeon Dudes discussion of the Animal Lord was interesting. Similar to the Forest Spirit concept from Princess Mononoke.

On the topic of the Empyrean, my mind immediately went to a Warlock Patron Empyrean, like they mentioned. I can also see Paladins and Clerics connected to an Empyrean, and an Iota familiar or companion or at least common association with an Iota NPC that gives them information, and orders, from...

They said there is actually more text on how they fit in a setting, how they exist in the worlds of D&D, and they streamlined the mechanical portion which now takes up less space on the page. Every monster begins with the environment you're most likely to meet the monster. They said they...

I didn't expect succubus can turn into inccubus

I was dismayed no mention of Beasts, unless I missed it. Moon Druid badly needs a lot more and varied CRs of beasts, and I sure hope they're in there.

I like this, and yet I know Hold Person just got a stealth nerf. I'm OK with that, but noting it is likely a thing.

Well, we're going to try to do the whole dungeon. We're entering year three in real life. It's going pretty well. But agreed, it's massive. We had this issue with the 3e version of Elemental Evil. It was so big we spent years trying to beat it, and just couldn't make enough progress. We'd...

He's good but it's still mostly the same dungeon. He just ties so many NPCs into a series of overarching themes which tie into Waterdeep itself. For example, everlasting night was created over waterdeep by something in this dungeon. It's going to slowly kill the city due to crop failure and...

I agree and thought of it after my post that the "thrown in the dungeon" module of the A series is one of my favorites. I think about that with 5e, and I wonder how I'd run it given cantrips would really mess with the adventure.

I notice there's no mention of Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. And I agree as written it doesn't rank among the best. However we've been adventuring in it for 2 years now in one game, and with the right tweaking (by our excellent DM) it really rocks.

Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury still hold up as truly excellent dungeons. The entire tomb of Tomb of Annihilation is excellent. Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan remains pretty good. White Plume is still very fun, though short. Dead in Thay is good if you realize you don't need to clear it you...

Gregory Marchess is quite the excellent artist! I like some of his concepts.

I just went through that book and though I found a few similar images I did not find that image.

For Spanish games, I just assumed most people were playing Aventuras en La Marca del Este (Adventures in Eastern Mark). That game looks pretty incredible to me.
