It will all come down to pricing. Although now that I have a SLA printer, I haven't bought a physical mini in some time.

I am interested in what this means for the remaining 'classic' settings releases next year. Dark Sun and Dragonlance are the odds on favorites for a rebirth. I wonder if the foofaraw of the new Dragonlance Trilogy from Weiss and Hickman is resolved by the 'different media, different canon' and...

But Slut Street was critical to the feel of Waterdeep... /s The view of canon has internally existed at D&D for a while. It certainly adds more information to the editing of Graeme Barber's adventure in Candlekeep Mysteries. Maybe that incident and the changes to Ravenloft prompted the design...

I am only reading what people are saying in this thread. Nonsense or not it is a feeling among the pro-canon people.

Living Greyhawk was a beautiful disaster. It was some of the best D&D experiences of my life. It was uneven, overpopulated with Oerth Shaking Events and too many fragile egos, but had some of the most awesome inclusive community world-building and detailed background of a shared world. It...

The benefit of canon to a lot of people seems to be the concept of a shared world between tables, a sense of a larger community. The fact, regardless of where or with whom you play, there is a shared connection by virtue of using the baseline canon of the same setting. You could talk to someone...

So many different conversations going around in this thread. The Curative vs Transformative lore topic: awesome! Thank you, guys, gals, and NB pals. The intersection of Lore and Canon: another great topic with great points. Ultimately, we have a Spartan statement from Crawford, praising novels...

Now I feel the threat of a WotC 'smart' book that reports how many times I have to look up a rule. "Looks like you forgot about total cover again, would you like me to send a reminder to your phone?" - Clippy, the reincarnated d20

I don't have a citation but this is a departure from the earliest of days of 5E going by the DMG and SCAG. I do believe it is their design rationale. WotC/Crawford are only going to use the lore they present in current books. You won't have to reference old materials to know what is going on and...

I think the statement from Crawford is that the TTRPG will not be mandating anything canon from outside the 5E TTRPG products. I am sure the fiction line still has a bible, but since that stable of authors is currently Bob Salvatore and maybe Ed Greenwood. I don't think there is going to be much...

Ok. Look Crawford is not saying anything new here. They could always change canon. They have changed canon many, many times. Spellplague FR shows how much they can change while 'respecting' canon. All Crawford is saying is what they have done all along. They change what they want and the stories...

Let's leave the racism discussion behind and stick to embracing the void. Sword and Sorcery has a very thick vein of actions being forgotten by history but being huge to the present. Heroes, well protagonists, of S&S stories are masters of their own destiny. They move through the world and the...

Ok. I like canon. I love the 'deep cuts' that get thrown to new adventures referencing old material. What happens when the old material is problematic though? Do we cling to canonical Vistani or the reworked Vistani? WotC isn't dumping 50 years of stories, they just aren't going to hold them as...

Alright, now do Humean Scepticism in classical French/ Italian fairy tales! Existentialism as a story hook for either individual characters or for the party as a whole is fantastic. Of course, you need player buy-in, but it is a great way to show players that character choices and actions do...

Listen, this is a FANTASY RPG accessory, right? Stop injecting reality into it. WizKids is not in the .stl business. Still, there are numerous Patreons that will have 'Feywild' themes in the next 6 months with their own spins on the Witchlight Carnival. There have been sets from numerous artists...

Man, Beadle and Grimm's looked at that and went, "Who is going to spend that?" Give me the .stl's for $100 and I will print and paint my own.

Gha. Now I looked too. The 3 hags are all amazing as well. Who doesn't want a hag named Skabetha? Or Bavlorna with her Mini-Bavs all over her. I have moved to must buy for Witchlight. Not necessarily the miniatures although the Starter sets are a sure thing. This looks to be an entertaining...

I always thought it was Male elf. TIL...

Didn't they put ol' Moloch in a piece already? I may be confusing an .stl patreon.

Listen, those robes are wool and heavy. You need to let those stems breathe. Kelek doesn't maintain a strict lotion and keratin regime to cover them up with pants.
