    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    No, the fantasy Aztecs quite decisively lost to the fantasy Spanish (from Amn). And a good number of them were magically turned into orcs and ogres (and driders - this is in part due to the machinations of Lolth, via an albino drow everyone thought was just a regular elf). In the end, the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Meh, we're arguing over minimal information that can be interpreted multiple ways. Hopefully they'll give us more details soon so we know exactly what to expect here.

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    The main issues for Kara-Tur were the use of local terms, usually Japanese, in general for the entire setting, even when it wasn't appropriate (like using "Samurai" in Chinese-inspired locations), and hewing too close to real-life analogues, down to at times just changing a letter or two in a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    Calimshan certainly posed issues - if it didn't, they wouldn't have brought in an outside consultant! Given the time leap from 3e to 4e, re-doing the execution to something more acceptable wouldn't be much of an issue for Kara-Tur. Maztica, with its overt themes of colonialism, would obviously...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    @GarrettKP quoted from the Game Informer article many pages ago on this thread thread: That definitely seems to imply that the 10 regions are large areas (Thay, Aglarond, and Rashemen are traditionally grouped together in one region as the "Unapproachable East), and "We divide the Forgotten...

    D&D 5E (2024) Next issue of Game Informer will have details on the two upcoming Forgotten Realms books

    I agree with it likely being too large to be a DLC, but we thought Calimshan would seemingly be untouchable, so other non-Western flavored regions don't seem to be permanently off the table any more. Im sure they're looking to see how the updated version of Calimshan is received, and if it's...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    The Netheril one definitely sounds more like a mini-setting than just a plain adventure.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    As I said on another thread, I wonder if these DLCs are a bit of a test run for them to be a recurring feature for expanding the setting, with maybe one to a few each year? The Netheril one seems very much like the old 2e Netheril boxed set, for example. If they keep putting them out, with...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    It's been posted several times in various threads here that the D&D Beyond devs responded in a thread there that they would be part of the regular digital only bundle. Go to the "More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions" thread for example.

    Great! I tend to get the digital bundles in these cases, and then the special edition covers from the store, so this is perfect.
