46th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. This was a transitional episode. The characters had just finished a campaign arc. It was time to reward them and give them the choice of their next adventure...

47th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level 9. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He now wields the sacred Axehammer of the Lost Clan. Elf Librarian/Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised...

45th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 9th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. This was a short session. The characters were just cleaning up the final opposition for this campaign arc -- a few drow minions of the mind flayer overlord...

I would like the subclasses to be more iconic than 5E. What do I mean by that? Here's one example: There is no plant-themed subclass for the druid. It's basically the most obvious subclass imaginable. And yet after nearly a decade...still no sign of it. Same for a barbarian that hulks out, a...

Gamma World.

46th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at level 9. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He now wields the sacred Axehammer of the Lost Clan. Elf Librarian/Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised...

Yes AND No. It is clearly built on the same chassis as 5E, but I doubt the 5E College of Glamour will fit easily into the 6E Bard, as one example.

Damnit. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

As someone with over 20 years experience as a marketer I have to agree that this is a huge missed opportunity for which I can see no credible excuse. A themed starter set that leads into a Neverwinter hardcover seems like a no brainer.

I was basically going to say exactly this but you put it much more colorfully.

Huh.

See, I told you we could trust WotC. (ducks)

45th and 46th sessions of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters at level 9: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. We're getting to the end game -- probably 6-8 sessions remaining. Most of session 45 was the...

43rd session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters. They dinged Level 8 at the end of this session. Dwarf Executioner/Berserker/Warrior. He seeks the Axehammer of the Lost Clan, rumored to be in the Banewarrens. Elf...

I'm sure with about 2 minutes of googling I can find an example of a well known Western company who's products (or components) are manufactured with Chinese prison labor. The point stands. The WotC situation is s--tty, but it's not a literal crime against humanity. Regardless, we all get to...

To build on my previous point... D&D's content creators are virtually all social media influencers. And a lot of influencers are also content creators. So WotC has turned every D&D influencer against the company in one fell swoop. Kind of an amazing accomplishment if you think about it...

I also find myself thinking about what influencers are going to be at the next D&D product roll out. I'm guessing...not many.
