"Punk" is no longer punk; it has lost its teeth (and what make it punk) and has been assimilated. We can call it the Green Day Effect. This is not to say that authentic punk doesn't still exist, but that it is rather deep underground. What most consider "punk" is a pale simulacrum.

You kind of prove my point: "Disco" only exists as a style of House, or as flavorings of House. House itself had elements other than Disco, so it isn't quite the same thing as "Jazz" which is a living tradition. But either way...

Yeah, I hear that - which is why I can see it as the DMG example setting, but probably not as its own book. If it does end up being the example setting, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be doing so as a not-so-sneaky way to shoehorn Greyhawk back into the mix. This is not to say that I think...

Pieceofjunkar:

Haven't been keeping up with the thread, but I haven't started season 2 yet...how is it, relative to the 1st? My overall feeling of the 1st was "pretty good, but greatly marred by shoddy effects." It was better than I feared, but worse than I hoped...and I felt optimistic it would improve. But...

Messy and a bit disappointing. It was good but not great, and the preview made it look potentially great - in the "new SF" tradition of Inception, Interstellar, Ex Machina, and Arrival. But it is a big step (or two) behind those. The visuals are great, and I was pleasantly surprised with the...

Well, I think any of Greyhawk, the Dale Lands (of the FR), or Nentir Vale would work well...in that order of likelihood, imo. But I'm guessing that Nentir Vale will never make it back as either the example setting in the DMG or its own setting book...maybe in some kind of setting or adventure...

Dark horse candidate: Nentir Vale/Nerath.

Nah, it will be Pelinore.

Planescape is already released.

They could also do a focus on a region, like the Greyhawk environs, with some detail on the city itself and the larger world only sketched out.

It also sounds like the core three are going to be huge, if all are "expanded." So I'm guessing we'll see another price hike...maybe $69.95 a piece? Ouch. Or maybe due to mass printing, they'll keep it at $59.95. I still remember the 3E books starting at $20 a piece...that's about $36 today.

This might be the first book I pick up since 2021. Right now it is 40% off at Amazon...is that the lowest it is likely to go for awhile?

I wouldn't be surprised if Greyhawk is the setting in the DMG. For one, it is a perfect fit for the 50th anniversary DMG without committing full resources to a setting book. Secondly, don't underestimate the fact that Kidz These Dayz are into "retro" (which I'd differentiate from nostalgia: the...

Maybe I missed it, but any word on when in 2024 the core rulebooks come out? All at once or over the span of a few months? And presumably the other books will come out later in the year? Anyhow, it sounds like the three core rulebooks plus another three? That would make sense, with the usual...

So I hear The Flash bombed hard. And I've heard superhero films in generally have been on decline, probably since the MCU Thanos arc wrapped up in 2019 and it lost the most popular actors (including Boseman), oh and plus Covid. Plus, the general aimlessness and over-saturation of MCU and the...

Fun. It looks like 1E stuff outsold its equivalent 2E stuff by a factor of x2-5, depending. Does he have charts for the WotC era?
