Out of the Abyss is still selling and still being kept in print with reprints, just like all the WotC 5e hardcovers to date—even, unless something has changed quite recently, HotDQ and RoT. No WotC 5e hardcover is out of print.

The phrase you’re looking for is “sensitivity reader.” The phrase you used is definitely not the correct phrase.

That's another good counterexample. How'd her status change from its previous Realms description to what we see in ToD and Descent? Ed Greenwood has given us a semicanonical answer.

Those are good counterexamples (though the Hotenow thing doesn't seem like a big deal to me; "some fifty years ago" in Icespire Peak is off by almost twenty years, but it's explicitly an approximation, hence the "some"). There are also other minor timeline problems in the 5e lore that result...

D'oh! Yes, typo. Fixed. Lore: sure. My standard examples of 5e lore-fidelity come from the first two adventures from 5e: - Lost Mine of Phandelver. This whole adventure is heavily based around on info from Volo's Guide to the North. Everything in that module is based on prior lore. Wave Echo...

I think most FR fans agree with you, with the exception of some of those who first got into the setting during 4e. I'm a 5e-era FR convert—I never played in the setting or followed it before 2016. But since then I've dived in deep, reading all the 5e hardcovers and a lot of earlier novels and...

Yes, I reported that in this thread on Tuesday, and there has been some discussion of it here already. I suspect you're right that this thread (or more likely the previous, similar thread on this topic on EN World) had something to do with the decision. Or possibly WotC's sensitivity...

My guess would be they killed off the Wall as part of their recent efforts to eliminate "problematic" elements from current game materials. R.I.P. Wall of the Faithless. (After it perished, the Wall was found to have denied the gods, and as punishment, its soul has been mortared into the Wall...

Wall haters will be pleased to note that the new errata to the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, released today, entirely deletes that book's reference to the Wall of the Faithless—erasing the one and only reference to the Wall in published D&D 5e material.

It's not a clue. This is the revival! Greyhawk and Dragonlance fans rejoice! You can finally play in those settings again! So long as all your characters choose the Unearthed Arcana "Chef" feat and their adventures consist solely of cooking things, you're all set.

Of course, when it comes to the Forgotten Realms, there are at least two horses' mouths: Ed Greenwood, and TSR/WotC. But still, from the horse's mouth, just now, in response to a couple of questions I asked Greenwood this morning based on issues brought up in the present thread:

Agreed. But then, 2e and 3e materials were in general much more detailed than 5e, and with lore materials that often means much clearer also. (Not edition-warring! I actually like 5e!)

To be fair, some FR materials are very clear about that. Others, such as the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, are much less clear. The relevant section of that book says "the truly false and faithless" without explaining what "truly" means. SCAG also hedges a little closer to the...

As a fan of FR and a quasi-atheist*, I really like the Wall of the Faithless. *(explanation deleted due to Mod Note to avoid discussing real-world religions). Nor do I think there's anything wrong with having that in a fantasy world. Real-world coercive faith? That's grim and vile. But D&D...

There really wasn't any other option from WotC's perspective, I would guess. They're not going to choose a D&D setting for MTG that hasn't yet been "reactivated" for 5e. That means Forgotten Realms, Eberron, or Ravenloft. (Saltmarsh is in Greyhawk, but the rest of Greyhawk hasn't been brought...

And the fourth, obviously, should be Osse. Say what? Who's this "Fay Rune"?

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like a cube might be the way to go: 1/2/4 each. And sounds like $200–300 is a reasonable ballpark figure for that. I'll have to ponder; that's still a ton of money for me and on the high side of what I could afford, but not quite into totally-irresponsible...

Just regular, no bling—unless the bling affects gameplay. For example, I'd want a super-rare card that does something different from other cards, but wouldn't care about a card that differs from another one only in appearance. Also, doesn't a full playset of an MTG set contain four copies of...

Thanks. But what if one of my reasons for avoiding MTG is completionism? I read once that a complete, NM playset of every MTG card ever released costs somewhere around $3 million USD. Obviously that’s way out of reach for almost anyone, and so almost no MTG players have such a collection. One...

I’ve always ignored MTG before now. BUT as a big fan of the Forgotten Realms, I could see buying into this . . . IF: - it’s feasible and fun to play at home with only the D&D set(s), with no other MTG cards involved; and - it’s not prohibitively expensive to buy a complete playset of the D&D...
