I was wrong. No new projects announced, just dates and teasers/trailers for previously announced things

I really like where you're going with the classes. I'd also suggest that the primary utility cantrip for each class be given without cost. All Druids with Druidcraft; all Sorcerers with Elementalism; etc. The Sorc rework is the one I'm most excited about. I think it's the least distinct class...

IIRC Netflix has two D&D projects they have the rights to. They have the former Paramount project now. They also supposedly have the rights to BG3 in live action. Of note, IMDB now redirects the Rawson Marshall Thurber project to the Crevello-Levy project. This may mean that all live action...

The land is probably cheaper than the printing presses, institutional knowledge and distribution network.

True! Plus they all have the experience playing the game that they should be able to convert things on the fly. They've played for decades. They don't need official guidance.

It seems the Psionic "thing" in 5e is dice that power things. Soul Knife does uses there's for more than damage. Psi Warrior does too. Having the Psion do similar is a strong story echo

There really is a downside right now. It's quite political, but the downside involves threats of bombings, violent attacks, removal from the United States, being targeted by executive orders and more. Hasbro and Wizards embrace of diversity is quite risky. They're sticking with it anyway...

Except statements like "A strong party is a diverse party" and other persistent and intense pro diversity stances that Wizards has and continues to take.

When I release backgrounds and subclasses on my blog I always mention the inspirations, but usually in a section at the bottom. I may shift that to an in-line mention with links when relevant.

It's fifteen pages, but a vast majority of the content is reminding a creator what is new. There are also revisions, name changes and format changes to track. https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/srd/guide/converting-to-srd-5.2.1.pdf

I know this is an expected statement, but it feels as if we don't get it very often.

No. There are several spells not available to Wizards, a few not available to any caster, as well as Feats that enable non-spell Psion stories.

You are not familiar with the story David and Goliath? Or Critical Role? Did you click on the TV Tropes links provided and read about the goliath and similar archetypes there? The resources are plentiful.

Notably you can even play games at a library. I can watch TV at a library. At a museum I can see the original paintings and experience them. There's nothing about this project that can't be done at a facility that has an explicit purpose of caretaking. Doing that would result in no money for...

For me beer & pretzels is about table attitude more than campaign style. It can be done with a strict linear railroad or a big open sandbox. It's about being casual, joking, light in stress.

In the past D&D listed the Appendix N in the back. It was a large bundle of inspiring materials, absent from direct connections to various archetypes or concepts. Within Dragon magazine and various other essays official creators with TSR/WotC might share a more specific set of inspirations...

Here's more reading on a narrower trope for the goliath https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ProudWarriorRaceGuy/Literature

The appendix N (inspirations) for the Goliath are plentiful though. There's everything Critical Role has done, which is 1,000s of hours of lore, multiple books, multiple seasons of a TV show. There's WotC's previous content. There's the dude the Goliath is named after. Wizards doesn't assume...

And the rules are rather specific that the PHB is for players, not NPCs (with rare exceptions). Now, I think Powerful Build on goliaths is something they all have, whether PC or not. Same with Stonecunning for dwarves. I wouldn't make mystical or combat elements go to the entire populace -- I...

Then there's no need for complicated weapons in Goliath society. They can kill with a rock and their fire/frost/etc. That's even more true for Elves with their combat cantrips. Why use a long bow when you can fire bolt with less training and cost? Not a single bit of the current structure of...
