This is true. And that's kind of the problem with Planescape: either you make it so big one big can barely scrape the surface, or you need to limit it to Sigil and the Outlands. If they do the later, I'd like to see it integrated into an Adventure Book rather than trying to justify a new...

So Forgotten Realms doesn't need a book because FR is the default setting for D&D 5e. Eberron is getting a full book this year, and already has a PDF. Ravenloft also doesn't need a PDF because Curse of Strahd largely gives it enough content for people to play there. So in the top five, that...

...but the corporations are what is the comedy, it's not supposed to really make sense, that's the joke. And I believe that FR is big enough for different contexts. And are we seriously going to debate what makes sense in a fantasy setting? There is a multi-layered dungeon full of traps and...

I'll just say that tieflings and dragonborn were both in 4e. For the former they just said they were fiend-worshippers who got mutated (which doesn't make any sense if you know about Dark Sun). They can be cut. The dragonborn however were just reskinned Dray, so for them they should just undo...

I would say AI is pretty much running a parody of AI. But that's not necessarily a bad thing; Toril is a big world, there is plenty of room for a Death Curse in Tomb of Annihilation while a bunch of Office-style shenanigans are happening somewhere else. It's a lot like how in the MCU (or Marvel...

Well Oscar Wilde did at least. But he was quite fond of parody.

Also, and I've just learned this (and think it's 50% awesome 50% hilarious), the adventure takes place in Phandelver, 5 years after the events in the starter's box. I don't know why but I absolutely love that.

Parody is the highest form of flattery, some say. And considering this book adds a new race, backgrounds and spells for FR, there's some useful content for FR players even if you want to disregard the humor.

Getting firearms to work mechanically isn't very hard. You could honestly treat them a lot like how crossbows are currently used in 5e. A goblin getting hit by a bullet and surviving can be treated much like how you would treat him getting hit by a crossbow bolt. You have to remember that...

I didn't know that, good for WotC! Based on those products you've listed, you're likely right that they want to move on to something else. I'd say the likeliest box set they are thinking of is for Eberron. We already know that a book is on they way, so it makes a lot of sense to release a box...

It would be interesting, if probably unlikely, if the boxed set was for playing in Ravnica (or the MtG universe in general). Put together a slim version of the Guildmaster's Guide, some character sheets, a bigger and new adventure in the setting plus the monster statblocks within it. Of course...

Sorry I didn't phrase my post very well. What I meant is that even if this boxed set was a campaign setting, I'm not sure how much more incremental value it would add compared to the products currently released. So let's say you're correct and it's a FR campaign box. The lore would have to be...

Eh I'm not sure if that's the case. Both the current Starter's Box and the upcoming Essentials box are for FR. Obviously WotC could make another FR box (FR has such a long published history that WotC could launch content for it until the end of time), but it wouldn't add too much incremental...

The thread did start as a home-game idea, it has kind of morphed into a "how would WotC remake DoD," which I'm totally ok with. I had no idea DoD was set in FR, that's interesting. It's a little unfortunate too, because Lost City and Desert Nomad are set in Mystara. Has anyone played modules...

These are pretty great suggestions! It looks like one could pretty easily put together a desert campaign if they string these together. Maybe start with the Lost City (B4), then the Desert of Desolation modules, then cap it off with the Desert Nomad series. I'd set it in Mystara as it looks...

Hi, I was just wondering what the best D&D adventures/modules are that are set in a desert, or at least in a city/oasis near a desert. Looking for things other than Desert of Desolation, or in Dark Sun. I'm wondering what adventures could be added as supplementary material for DoD, much like...

"Whose Dread?" "Dread's dead baby, Dread's dead." Desert of Desolation wins, I guess the people saying it was the likeliest next remake for 5e (in the vein of TotYP and Ghosts of Saltmarsh) weren't joking.

Desert of Desolation - 18 Isle of Dread - 8 - 2 = 6 Castle Amber - 2 + 1 = 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI4v6hC_rjM Funny video that Larian made, including Mearls in a box... I mean flask? In more important terms, one of the posters seems to confirm dragonborn are in the game. Doesn't confirm their playable but I'd be surprised now if they're not.

Speculation time! Don't take this too seriously, it's just fun. The first BG games had I believe 7 races (human, half-elf, elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling, half-orc). I'd be very surprised if they aren't all in this one. I'd also expect tiefling to be in as well, because it's become as iconic or...
