Yeah, Art Nouveau is fine for Eberron. The lack of wooden muscular and sigil on the forehead just makes it look off spec for a warforged. I do wonder if the new book will be revisiting Stormreach. Xen'drik is the most logical place to put the PHB’s mini-giant Goliaths.

I saw where they recently retconned Grandpa Simpson from Greatest to Silent Generation. I reckon that if the show last much longer, Homer will be a Millennial.

I love that we’re getting a new Artificer that has nothing to do with gears and guns, but... Yeah, spontaneous generation isn't the fiction here. You should have some dead flesh to reanimate into your Frankenweenie!

Yeah, the lack of support for non-fantasy genres isn't from the lack of games set in those genres. TSR/Wizards alone has produced lots of non-fantasy game that just haven't met the opportunity cost threshold for not using those resources for a D&D supplement instead.

From what I remember, Alternity had GURPS level sales. That's great for SG Games, but for a company used to D&D level sales, it was deemed too great an opportunity cost.

CC-BY is more open in that it allows for more use cases, including restricting use of derivative content. So yes, it is more open and less open than something like ORC, in different senses of open.

For the system I'm working on now, I'm experimenting with a complex skill check system based on mobile merge games.

Did ChatGPT see the word "socializing" and turn the dwarves into Communists?

SRD 5.2.1?

If the progressions were standardized you could actually do those cross-class subclasses that they attempted in the Strixhaven UA.

We'll probably never know, so we can comfort ourselves in our own presuppositions. 🙂

I'm sure that between the simulationists and people who thought the original UA rules were hot garbage, it got pushed down below the the "needs work" threshold.

I still think they had no intention to substantially changing the way wildshape works. They threw out a really terrible version of template wildshape as a stalking horse, then had cover to say "it wasn't what the community wanted".

I guess anything is possible, but I have my doubts WotC determined that the Bastion rules were the secret sauce driving DMG sales

I've been using 5.14 and 5.24 but I'd be fine with shortening it to 5.1 and 5.2 if that became the common convention. I assume in around a decade we'll get either 5.3(4?) or 6e.

Got a chance to look it over. Glad to see the omission of Forest Gnomes (and Wood and Drow Elves) was remedied.

I lost interest sometime after it became clear they were shifting from Bart to Homer as the main character.

That was the d20 System Trademark Licence.
