I went ahead and read some of the comments on the Tweet thread to get some context for this statement. Ugh. Usually a mistake and a rabbit hole I always seem to fall into. At any rate, people can "demand" things of WotC all they want, but WotC is going to do what WotC is going to do. I...

I'm almost certain that the "revisited setting" that Ray Winninger mentioned for 2023 is going to be the continent of Marquet.

I was off in that I thought it would be an anthology of adventures, but I was pretty close! Wildemount made a ton of money, so I figured WotC would keep that ball rolling. I think we'll see Tal'Dorei stuff by Darrington press but Wildemount stuff as a collaboration with WotC.

Hmmm...

I’ve tried to get into Critical Role, but I just can’t. I figured when the animated series came out, I could take another stab at it. But based on this clip, I just don’t think it’s gonna be my thing. But I’m happy for their success and I hope for all good things for this series and all...

My humble predictions for 2022: Monsters of the Multiverse (a given) Spelljammer Dark Sun Far Realms/aberrant-inspired adventure arc Anthology of Critical Role adventures I think Dragonlance will be coming in 2023, but I hope it’s sooner.

Funded the Lazy DM and How to Be a Great GM. I learned a lot from both of them and was happy to do it.

I’m not really asking for anything. I typically buy all the books unless they happen to hold no interest for me. I agree that reviews can be helpful. I just think that when reviewing these books after a single read we need to get out of the 4-star, A+, two thumbs up mentality of movie reviews...

Sometimes I think reviewing an adventure right after publication is a bit like reading the instructions to Monopoly and then reviewing it without ever having played it. Okay, adventures are different as one can appreciate the imagination brought to the page, but still, you don’t know the worth...

Forgive me if I'm repeating here, but has anyone mentioned that the creature on the cover of Master of the Multiplanes is the same as the creature on the cover of the 1e Manual of the Planes?

Gem dragon: $99 The look on your player's faces when you plop that on the table next to their minis: Priceless

You're probably right because people would see the absurdity of depicting an entire race as evil. Of course, if WotC published it without irony, s**t would hit the fan.

Imagine a fantasy world that is made up entirely of female people of color except for one race of white people led by males, who enslave, kill without remorse, and worship an evil god. Lots of white people would freak out. Some of them can't even handle a handicapped-accessible dungeon BUILT...

It's easier to sell books to women if you don't offend them? Priceless advice. And a good argument for why WotC may not want to offend Black people.

Again, you missed my whole point. My point is that when bikini armor was a regular thing, not many females played D&D. Now that it's not a thing, more females play. I was making an analogy suggesting that if we adjust or get rid of the "black-skinned evil race" portrayal in D&D, more people...

We are? Not following your logic on that one. We can. We can also separate fantasy from reality while acknowledging that the way things are portrayed in ads, movies, fiction, and roleplaying games can affect our perception of the real world.

I think you missed the point of my post entirely.

I'm a little middle of the fence here. When the argument is framed as drow are or aren't racist, people will miss complexity. As there is no objective evidence (scientifically evaluated) that I know of that the fiction of drow perpetuates racial inequality, the argument will always go back and...

I plan to play this with my students, and I'm sure we'll love it. However, I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed that this is the first serious venture into the Feywild for 5e. It feels too focused on the carnival aspect and very much geared toward younger players. I would rather have...
