Funny thing to me is that for Ravenloft, the changes seemed to reset to a pre-Core time (which is what, pre-2E?) so actually felt like a return to a very OG Ravenloft in some ways. Which was great to me, as I have zero interest in the Core. Always felt it as a concept was anti-horror and Marvel...

I don't agree with this at all. I mean, it's true it hasn't been revised much... but I think that is due to 5E hyper-fixating on one of the least problematic regions, and the one with the most "modern" sensibilities... the Sword Coast. Only region to get a setting book, too. There are a lot of...

I'd say the biggest reasons for why Ravenloft was heavily revised, and Eberron note, is that Eberron was already quite close to modern sensibilities as it's initial iteration was written far more recently than Ravenloft's. I mean, Ravenloft first released in 1984. Eberron in 2004. Significant...

Yeah, I mean, if the cover is great, awesome! But if it's not fine... no big deal if the book itself is great. And it's not like an incredible cover is going to get me to buy a book everyone thinks is trash.

I don't particularly love the cover either, but I also don't understand the fixation folks have on covers... the expression "Don't judge a book by its cover," seems especially relevant in this case. Some of these adventures sound really, really good. Like so good, I want to take the small region...

Fizban's literally say it can be historical. A line directly from the text; Whether it is regarded as interpretive myth or historical record, "Elegy for the First World" offers an explanation for the common elements that appear in the legends and mythology of so many worlds across the Material...

To be clear, it's a myth or historical record. Which it actually is, will be up to the DM. Now, I believe that the First World will be it's own setting, but much of its actual creation, and even impact on the wider Multiverse, will be kept in more vague terms. Much like the standard 5E...

This is very silly. Some men (or boys) like cute artwork (I like puppies, I'm a man), and some women don't. No idea why we have to talk about "cute art" as if it's a gender consideration.

I'd dig that.

What settings did people pick for their favorites? I did Dark Sun, Planescape, and Greyhawk, hoping that would push their eventual release. Picked Dark Sun as my favorite.

Elden Ring, and Warhammer video games (I've been playing Total War: Warhammer 3).

Yeah, there are a few ways to make it work as a setting book. If I were to write it, I'd explicitly write it as a world that existed in the past (because writing a section on how to run a doomsday game when it's ending would be great). But there are other ways to make it work too.

I think Dragons should be responsible for exactly half of Dungeons & Dragons. The latter half.

Never played Dark Tower myself, but always wanted to. Interesting system, and the new art is very evocative!

OP is on my team tho!

I remember that was the 4E explanation for why Dark Sun doesn't have gods.

The first reply on the UA reddit post for DNDnext... I'm not sure if having reddit on my side is positive for my argument or not... :LOL:
