ha... ha...
If I get a hardcopy of the physical book, I won't be happy. As half of that book will be reprinting something else. I'll have paid $80 for the book. Even if I get it at Amazon on a sale, I'll have paid more for that book that if I bought it at my FLGS.
Here's the thing... they plan...
Got it.
Mearls lied to us when he said it was "theoretical".
Lied. To. Our. Faces.
Also, the "Some things, like the artificer, races, and basic world info" covers the first 120-pages of Wayfarer's Guide. It's 70% of the book. So Wayfarer's Guide is really only useful if you're playing in...
Will it though?
Will it really?
Or will it just have a comparable amount of world lore and just include an introductory adventure and some monsters rather than the section on Sharn?
TheWayfarer's Guide is 170 pages. It's BIG. Far from a quick intro. If you handed that to your players and...
My reaction was probably similar to a few thousand other people: well, I sure wasted $20 on the DMsGuild.
As I said elsewhere, I'm disappointed by this.
We already have Eberron. We could already run games in that world. This doesn't give us anything new. We can't tell stories we couldn't...
Citation please.
Races only.
Subclasses were tested far earlier.
I'd feel better if I liked the current iteration of the artificer. It has a lot of things I dislike.
Yes. They released the material free. Several weeks AFTER a few thousand people bought the PDF.
That was a big complaint at...
Just disappointing as we don't get anything new. No new races. No new setting on the Guild. Nothing that we didn't already have before...
They got us to PAY for playtest material with the promise the PDF would be updated. Maybe it will now, maybe it won't.
So... they're going with the ONE non-FR classic setting people already have all the 5e D&D rules for and people paid $20 for just last year rather than literally any other setting.
That's super disappointing.

So either he was mistaken in November when he said there would be a setting book or he was mistaken in January.
It's very possible they had planned to do a setting book but decided to wait to see how Ravnica would do, and the later January statement...
Thanks.
And Steward immediately describes Ravnica as "one of the best selling adventures on DnDBeyond". ;)
He then says he doesn't know if he'll do any more settings "this year" because they wanted to see how Ravnica was received (as they plan their schedule like a year to 18 months in...
Twitch sez: "Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable."
But the quote does sound pretty definitive. But, again, he could be referring to a PDF. I'm not willing to put down any money that plans haven't changed or schedules shifted.
That will work well for a setting...
Stewart did said they wanted to use Curse of Strahd as the template for future settings, with an adventure as part of the setting. The fewer racial and class and monster options that are added, the longer the adventure will be.
An adventure will almost certainly be the centerpiece of the book...
Reporting things from Spoilers & Swag without a link is always dubious to me. It always turns things into a game of Telephone. Posters here have a loooong history of hearing things they want to hear.
If that is the third hardcover, then it will revealed be the end of con video around the...
A Print-on-demand book is still a book. This time last year he talked about two setting books, and one of those was Eberron.
They also mentioned a gazetteer for the city like Waterdeep received. So we'll see. I'm hoping it's just a small section.
Yeah, but how many new people played that...
Lots of thoughts, one post:
Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus
The Blood War, baby. A fun focus for an adventure. And devils were the easy bet for a story, as one of the few villain types that hadn't been featured. I was expecting a pirate adventure initially, as Ghosts of the Saltmarsh is...
Fine. :):):):) it. I’m wrong not to like what they did with Thor.
Let’s all laugh at fat people. Ha ha, you’re all lazy, clumsy fat chumps. Gamers are useless cowards. It’s cool that they made a favorite character of mine a walking joke.
Whatever.
