Shadar-Kai makes sense. But the guy has pointed ears, and Red Wizards are supposed to all be human. Maybe a half-elf?

I dunno, he and the other guys in the fight are all wearing armor, and the green sword seems very Drow-ish. So could be just Red Wizards, but considering how the RW are supposed to all be human, it's strange one has pointed ears. I'm still thinking these are re-branded drow.

More important than the actual view count, the trailer is #1 trending video on YouTube. No small feat considering there have been a number of other reveals coinciding with comic-con, most notably another Rings of Power trailer (which I think also looks good). Movie is definitely going for...

The last two trailers (especially the last one) look incredible. Very much looking more like the Lord of the Rings films in quality, instead of the Hobbit films over-usage of CGI. I'm pretty confident I will enjoy this. I will say however, as I was YouTube-searching for footage of the panel...

I'll be honest, but this just feels like a normal part of being employed in the 21st century. It's important to make constructive relationships and networks, especially if your a contractor. And that means having to work with, tolerate, and cooperate with some frustrating people. And if someone...

Sorry, aren't informal blacklists for companies.... normal? I mean, it seems like you'd want to keep track of people you think are difficult to work with to avoid in the future. Obviously it matters who your putting on the list and for what reasons, but just the existence of an informal...

American resident here, under no circumstances is the word "negro" considered appropriate unless you're literally a teacher (and you better be reading something like Mark Twain). Oriental is also very frowned upon, especially in any larger city, even more-so the coast. It's largely viewed as...

Sure, that's why we will probably get one of those books eventually. Adding Spelljammer or Planescape on top of your homebrew isn't hard, unless the person bothered to create their own whole cosmology.

What is a "prequel fantasy"? As for whether there should be a contest... as good and fun an idea such a contest would be, giving an opportunity for people to share and create their work in a context that is given more serious consideration (in turn giving an incentive for people to create more...

I would be wary in counting this year's material in predicting next year's. Acq Inc. wasn't really worked on much by WotC core staff (as far as I know), and the Eberron book is using a lot of material already made in UAs and the PDF. Then there's the Rick and Morty book. I'd guess that they'll...

Perkins talked about mindflayers a bit on a D&D beyond video, and even decided in that video he would add gnome mindflayers in a product (and knew exactly where to put them). It seems pretty likely that we're eventually getting a book dealing with either planescape or spelljammer. Not sure...

If you actually bothered to watch the stream, Welch says that Deborah, Marisha, Jeremy (I assume Crawford), Chris Perkins and herself all wrote adventures for this book. So it definitely doesn't exclude men, and it's pretty interesting that this mini-announcement spawned this idea that this book...

This is really accurate. Most medieval fantasy is based exclusively on medieval England and France. The Sword Coast, despite being mostly city-states, fits with that aesthetic too, mostly because it's hard to describe more than one medieval culture (in a satisfying way) within one adventure...

I don't do top-level stuff unless the PC's may need to know it. I put more focus into stuff that they'll see in front of them. So in my current setting (Greyhawk Noire, a 1920s-tech version of Greyhawk), I detail the city, who lives there, a little information on who runs the city, and some...

Unironically, Christmas Elves, "elves in a shoe," smurfs and cereal mascots are pretty much my go-to assumption of what a gnome is. Whimsical, overly positive, creative with some ingrained magic (that is mostly non-harmful). Not quite halflings, which are pretty much hobbits.

This is very true. Running a group right now, and it is clear that although the players like the concept of playing another race, they're not actually very good at playing up the behavior of the race. For example, got three players, an elf, dwarf, and succubus. It is very rare for them to...

Highly doubt it. It's becoming standard practice now for tabletop companies to give a hint about an announcement at their events, if they're planning on making one. For example, for comic-con last weekend, D&D said they would make a "special announcement," which turned out to be the Tiamat...

Eh, definitively would have preferred an AP. When is this official WotC announcement supposed to be? Or were people just guessing earlier?
