A prime example of Vicissitude.

At this point, I have a hard time seeing all of these appearances as anything but nostalgia bait.

What bargain are you talking about? They themselves said it was their job in one of their OGL apologies. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1423-an-update-on-the-open-game-license-ogl

Being good stewards of the game, according to some.

D&D is just a name (or an acronym). It's different editions and incarnations are quite different from each other. PF1 was far closer to 3.5 than 4e. So which game was I supposed to feel loyalty to? It's the same issue with settings. Ravenloft, Dragonlance or the Realms changed a lot over the...

I stopped buying them after the OGL debacle, but their last product I really enjoyed was 5e Eberron, so I should have stopped buying their books sooner.

WotC is probably betting on people to forget about the other SRDs. How many people still care about the 3.5 SRD? Pathfinder Remastered severed its remaining ties. The most interesting part of it would be the monsters as many iconic D&D specific monsters are in it. But most folks are far more...

To be fair, many modern people and societies don't understand inflation, either. I have no problems with firearms in fantasy, historically, they were used alongside melee weapons for centuries. The printing press was a far more disruptive technology, even though it used combined several earlier...

Why not do what PF1 did? Modify stats based on the size of the creature and add all the creatures abilities that your level allows. Alternatively, do something similar to 3.5 Astral Constructs to emulate the beast in question. Similar to templates, but more flexible. At least there's no longer a...

I guess "being inclusive" doesn't include including the poor. Money is the ultimate gatekeeper, after all. It's not like they couldn't release A5 softcover versions of the books like Paizo or other publishers do.

I'm not sure how well Abomination Vaults translates to that subgenre, considering it has a huge amounts of somewhat neutral encounters. But I liked the original BG: Dark Alliance and especially Dark Alliance 2. If that's the direction they are going, I'm somewhat optimistic. I'm less interested...

What are they supposed to say? That they are excited to reenvision the setting for a new audience and how everybody won? We got lucky that Keith worked on 5e Eberron and it turned out great, but he relinquished the rights to the setting nearly 20 years ago. So it's far better for him to let go...

That's a rather sketchy business decision.

Player Core 2

Stuff like this makes me glad I switched to another system. With these changes the game formerly known as 1D&D becomes even less like the 3.5/PF(/4E) I liked with different classes using different subsystems.

Eberron. Most later books, especially classic campaign settings, have been underwhelming and disappointing.

Comet, ? ,Key, Fool (or Jester), Fates, Rogue?

Could have used one of those "Warning! Content is intended for mature audiences only." labels the Book of Vile Darkness and the Book of Exalted Deeds had.

Tengu are already in the APG and Nagaji in Impossible Lands, so I wouldn't expect them to repeat the info on those Ancestries.
