So this is just my opinion, and probably going to irritate some... but here goes: When Pathfinder came out it was met with near universal praise. There was a large amount of discontent with 4e D&D, and Pathfinder provided an alternative to that (in spades). Fast forward to 2018. D&D 5e is...

So... no one can confirm that there's anything other than the Green Devil Face we all know and love on the back of the van? Is Acererak and the Tomb in the film or no? Also, I don't care about spoilers. Bring em' on!

This. I'd love to see the setting get a full RPG treatment. I love Mice & Mystics!

I'll buy it for the artwork alone... and because I love that era of history and the associated mythology.

The article makes it sound like Holmes covered up through level 12. Or at least that was my takeaway. "similar to Holmes Basic the maximum progression is 12th level for human characters" Just clarifying!

My memory is probably hazy... but the Holmes Basic Set was my very first introduction to D&D and I don't remember seeing rules for going above 3rd level.

I owned the original book back in the 80s, and it was largely responsible for awakening my interest in Japanese history and mythology in particular. Although it did contain references to several Asian cultures... my memory of it was that it skewed very heavily in the direction of Japan and...

Kara Tur was briefly detailed in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and of course we have Chult in ToA. Do you feel that those are fair representations? I would love to see Kara Tur given the treatment that Chult was (minus the death curse) in ToA and see the setting updated for 5e.

That artwork reminds me of the odd obsession that Easley, Elmore, and Caldwell had with putting feathers on everything.

Sorry for the double post... but I concur with what others have been saying; The artwork is absolutely stunning.

I wonder will the darker side of Mexica (Aztec) culture be looked at as well? I am of course referring to human sacrifice on a massive scale and the fact that the Mexica held most of what is now Mexico under brutal subjugation. The Spanish were certainly no better, as they brought death and...

Since any official supplement would likely be set in the Forgotten Realms, why not just call it Kara-Tur? I don't see how this is any more problematic than Chult (with its African influences). Honestly though, threads like this frustrate me because every fantasy RPG I know of borrows...

These games aren't based on actual history... so there's that. To answer the question though, no I don't think we need a new "Oriental Adventures" as the term is problematic now. It's fine to take elements of the cultures presented therein however and use them in game. Samurai, are already canon...

Foil embossed! Yes... you folks are the target demo for sure. P.T. Barnum would be proud!

Agreed 100%. The 5e playtest was 100% free from 2012 onwards up until release. I didn't spend a dime until the actual, finalized rule books were released and yet I got hundreds of pages of free content that I was able to use during the lengthy playtest period. To say that I have my reservations...

When I switched from 4e to Pathfinder it was because I was unhappy with 4e and honestly was torn between Pathfinder and one of the OSR clones. After a relatively short while, Pathfinder began to bog down for me toward the mid-tier play levels, so when the 5e playtest came out, I jumped on it and...

Nott and Jester are my current favorites

I think the current iterations of both Chult and the Southlands are excellent representations of Africa-LIKE regions of the fantasy worlds they inhabit. Now... back to playing my fantasy game, with an emphasis on FANTASY​.

I met her at ECCC last year. Nice, approachable, and extremely enthusiastic about D&D. Rock on Satine!

Looks cool... I'm sure I'll be checking it out!
