I'm usually pretty picky about what new D&D releases I pick up - I haven't picked up a new book since Fizbans, as example. However, in 2021 I picked up nearly every release, only skipping out on Strixhaven. It was interesting to see how the releases actually do a pretty good job of foreshadowing...

Given that they're bringing back Planescape, perhaps something along the lines of "Skall's Book of the Dead"? edit: I can't say I'm particularly up on M:tG lore, but isn't she mainly an antagonist? The monster books have been named after (arguably *) friendly NPCs, and the players option ones...

Artist: Karl Waller Source: Complete Book of Necromancers (1995) Spell: ...Mage Armor? Maybe Spirit Armor from ToM? ...I dunno, just one that's imprinted on my brain. I loved the Complete Book of Necromancers for essentially being a stealth mini campaign setting, and having all the art of...

As for Fizbans - I've found it rather useful. I ran The Book of the Raven recently, which features For Bigby's, I'm hopeful - I've never found giants to be particularly inspiring monsters to build an encounter around, so hopefully the new book can cast them in a light I find interesting.

I'd be (mostly) satisfied if he at least does the alt covers.

I mean - speaking as someone slowly running (and trying to review) the adventures in Candlekeep Mysteries, there are some good ones in there. A Deep and Creeping Darkness and Shemshime's Bedtime Rhyme were both fun and very memorable, even if The Book of the Raven wasn't.

Winninger mentioned on twitter that there would be a bundle of the book and the board game; no idea about an alt cover version.

It's almost breathtaking, to be honest. I'm sure the poster ruined multiple people's days. Official response: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/d-d-beyond-feedback/30499-request-and-vote-for-new-features-for-ddb?page=119#c2468

It's a shakycam shot of an internal-only document from a brand new reddit account, but supposedly they're going to announce changes to the D&DBeyond subscription model:

@pukunui : Ha! Great minds, and all that. To echo your post - this was the piece of art that made me step back and realize, "...man, even the dragons are strange and alien here to what I know." Another piece from the same book, that underlined for me how metal-poor Athas was supposed to be...

Artist: Brom Source: Dragon Kings Monster: Borys, the Dragon Story: I have to admit, I don't think it's an accident that my two favorite 2e campaign settings, Planescape and Dark Sun, were also the only two lines I'm aware of where a single artist did nearly all the artwork for the entire...

Pay attention to how much GP is in the adventure, and consider reducing it - the old system used GP as EXP, so the only dial the game designers had to level up PCs was how much gold was in the adventure. Leads to some odd scenarios, where the spinster who lives on the edge of town would be...

May I ask why? I've been playing in a long-running Black Hack game, and have rather liked the usage die mechanic. Honest question.

...wait: two backgrounds, or two feat-like powers?

Do any of the included characters have a short rest ability?

I stopped playing RPGs for about a decade and managed to skip 4e in it's entirety, purely by chance. The only experience I've had of the setting was in 2e - though in fairness, I've gotten the impression that a lot of people who were otherwise really down on 4e all seem to begrudgingly admit the...
