I'm just saying historical inaccuracy is a trend far bigger than D&D. I also think audiences aren't interested in bilauts, doubles, or conical hats. And that's certainly a modern trend, especially if you check out old Arthurian or Robin Hood movies from prior to 1980s. But I don't think that...

D&D has absolutely lost it's medieval fashion sense (so much as it ever had it) but the trend towards "faux medieval modernism" has been a part of fantasy since the 90s. Basically, modern audiences find breeches and stocks comical. I remember there was a small amount of outrage when Aragon was...

I guess, neither BS or X is great if you are looking for actual discussion on WotC products, with the difference being BS tends to shift discussion whatever 5e heartbreaker of the month is while X inevitably breaks down into trolls yelling how D&D isn't racist or sexist enough for them anymore...

A lot of D&D chatter everywhere leans heavily anti-WotC...

Depends. Some older artwork does have a syndication stipulation (a lot of old Magic cards did this, which is why they stopped using old art on new cards) but I'm sure since the 2000s all D&D and MTG art is bought with full rights to reproduce eternally (with the artist retaining limited rights...

I don't think there is much hope for any TSR era stuff getting done. 4e is slightly more likely, but I really think they aren't going to create whole new SRDs for AD&D or Basic.

It's recycled art from Journey to the Radiant Citadel. The artist already got paid.

It was on multiple platforms. I saw it personally on Facebook and Bluesky as well.

It's capitalizing on a trending search topic (in this case, T Swifts new album name). Lots of brands hop on this trend of winking at trending topics to get higher views or to appear in on the latest trend.

@LaTia J any updates you can share?

SCAG was the last of the farmed out books that were written by outside design teams (in this case, Green Ronin). I 100% blame this outsourcing for both the bland style of writing (they were tasked with summarizing the Realms after the Sundering, minimizing the 4e elements to make is timeless...

You once again ignore my point to answer your own strawman. GG. Not discussing it further.

You have two choices when it comes to D&D settings: changing or dead. There is no evergreen and alive. Eberron is probably their most static world (there is no Metaplot, the only changes come with edition switches) and I can count a Baker's dozen of changes from 3.5 to 5.24. The introduction...

More excited about Forge of the Artificer (grumble grumble) but I'm going to get the PC book first and the DM book later

Absolutely. Many Arrows presented an amazing opportunity: an orc nation that was organized, capable and wanting peace. The other nations didn't know how to react (is it legit, is it a trap?) and even the orcs themselves were divided between wanting to settle down and act like other species or...

Well, except for this part:

Yeah. Sorry. Not here for it. I'm sick and tired of lore purists screaming bloody murder if you dare change anything. I like Keith Baker's take. He never says what is the canon or correct answer. He says "In my Eberron" to imply his is not the only version of the setting that matters. His...

Sigh... Go read the rest of the exchange between me and Scribe. I'm not in the mood to explain it yet again...

I'm not asking for my take to be official. I'm asking it be given the same respect as the official. Which you have failed to do. Official means nothing except as a baseline. It has no greater legitimacy than yours or my takes. And the community needs to get it though their skulls that things...
