Yeah, I like the LevelUp Essence dragons. It's a design space rich enough to hold Asiatic dragons as well as things like 4e's Catastrophic dragons.

Safe guess: Another monster or magic item book. Wish casting guess: A third party psionics book, since WotC doesn't seem to want to do anything interesting in that space. Wild ass guess: Doctors & Daleks

Some of these look worse than usual, but the Astarion one looks par for the course for Wizkids.

I was thinking the Men in Black types that wrangle stray umbral spirits on earth, but yeah, Iteration X would make sense.

The Forest Gnome culture's speak with beast ability isn't limited to small or smaller beasts. There's no balance or narrative reason for this restriction. I use the 5.2 version of the Conjure X spells. Much tidier. You can trade the floating stat bump from your background for the non-stat part...

In a stunning turn of events, the Void Engineers were kicked out of the Technocracy, and the Virtual Adepts were welcomed back. The VE took the VA's seat at the Council of Nine. Those VE still seen as loyal to the Paridigm were absorbed into the Syndicate. Old school VA were absorbed into the...

In D&D, as long as one of the characters has the jewelers kit proficiency I say, "[character x] has determined one of the gems is a onyx worth 50 gp, and the other two are opals worth 75 gp each."

Minotaur and Irda species options, and a Tinker subclass that's the Artificer's answer to the Wild Magic Sorcerer.

Classic and Nouveau Warforged hybrid design...

Yeah, the stark difference between the standard and variant just isn't here like it was with RFtLW.

Well there is one thing here that will certainly be house ruled at our table . 😝 The new designs are a mixed bag for me. I don't really like warforged looking less "earthy", but if that artillerist is a shifter, that hits the mark for me. It mentions that the shifter, changeling, and kalastar...

I think you missed Reynard’s point. You can't manufacturer nostalgia. CSIO exist in the mind space of a lot of people's formative years. Something like Talislanta or Skyrealms of Journe might could, but a completely new product just doesn't scratch the same itch.

In a pinch, you could use the stats for Skadi in the 3e Deities & Demigods.

Yeah, Art Nouveau is fine for Eberron. The lack of wooden muscular and sigil on the forehead just makes it look off spec for a warforged. I do wonder if the new book will be revisiting Stormreach. Xen'drik is the most logical place to put the PHB’s mini-giant Goliaths.

I saw where they recently retconned Grandpa Simpson from Greatest to Silent Generation. I reckon that if the show last much longer, Homer will be a Millennial.

I love that we’re getting a new Artificer that has nothing to do with gears and guns, but... Yeah, spontaneous generation isn't the fiction here. You should have some dead flesh to reanimate into your Frankenweenie!

😰

Yeah, the lack of support for non-fantasy genres isn't from the lack of games set in those genres. TSR/Wizards alone has produced lots of non-fantasy game that just haven't met the opportunity cost threshold for not using those resources for a D&D supplement instead.

From what I remember, Alternity had GURPS level sales. That's great for SG Games, but for a company used to D&D level sales, it was deemed too great an opportunity cost.
