Exactly. They didn't do a UA on the lore of Cormyr's knighthood. That part was already in the Adventure book. The art was ordered. They didn't get rid of that. What they did was offer a new dragonrider subclass named after the worst subclass in 5e, and the fandom told them: "no, we want the crap...

Yup. Just like the zhentarium and red wizards are always scheming villains who are kill on sight. Imagine if they tried to make Zhents a mercenary army or the red wizards magic merchants. That would go against decades of established lore. Next you'll tell me there are non evil drow or...

This right here is the biggest issue with D&D going forward. It's caught in a catch 22 of people who cry for new ideas and innovations but stubbornly cling to traditions created 40 years ago. People hear claim they want the world to expand and grow, but when the dragon knights of Cormyr get...

Oh for sure. I don't for a second think we're not getting Dhampir in some future Ravenloft book or some Monster of the Multiverse take 2 book.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, this is going to be a much more usable generic knight/warlord subclass, and its probably a lot more lore appropriate. On the other hand, you are losing a freaking dragon as a pet/ally/mount. The real question is whether it will be able to meet the expectations...

Ah. That's where the updated genasi is going to be, I wager...

I'm going to wager they will be on sale separately. They didn't just delay the digital release of Forge of the Artificer just to screw game stores with a bundle bonus exclusive. They are them right now to pretty up the bundle, but I don't think they will sacrifice potential sales from people who...

I'm willing to bet the farm that it gets reprinted in whatever Ravenloft book they put out with the horror subclasses. Sooner rather than later.

Sorry Studio Ghibli, AI has replicated your style. Time to close up shop.

Who is"they" in this sentence? My issue is that people cry "AI wolf" so much at real art made my real artists just because they don't like said art, to the point that if everyone keeps confusing real art with AI, that they can start using AI and most of the people crying wolf won't be believed...

Thank you @GarrettKP for the info. You are doing Lathandars work!

Hmm, wonder if they fixed the genie "stack AC" issue.

Looks like the hordes got their wish for a cavalier/warlord...

Well that's a bummer. Was really hoping for a genasi upgrade at least...

Well, one of the DLCs is called Asterion's Book of Hunger...

I can't seem to find any info on this, so apologies if its been covered. Did they discuss what new species we're getting? I would imagine Duergar, sea elf, and genasi would be good includes.

Wu-Jen has no origin. It is a literal translation of "magic + user" using Chinese, and is vaguely based on different sorcerers in Asian myth.

I think it's important to remember that this isn't WotC proper making revised Kara Tur book. This is the regional distributor selling the current 5e books in Japanese and wanting to add a touch of regional flavor to sell the PHB and The Shattered Obelisk. This is advertising. If it's popular and...

The fact that most people will hate on actual art made by people claiming it's AI only convinces me that in five years when all art is AI, we will never tell the difference.

Listen: WotC doing some regional material tied to Japanese culture and even mentioning Kara Tur still exists isn't nearly as important as repeatedly attacking WotC for removing the two species with "half -x" in their name until they can find a better way to address them. I hope the sarcasm...
