Interesting article, the concept art is really good and I admit that parts of this adventure sound appealing. However, derro that love pancakes? I had to re-read that three times before I realized I wasn't seeing it wrong. There are ways to make NPCs interesting without straying into silly...

This jumped out at me too and I totally agree. That target number is way too high for WotC to start pumping out a bunch of stuff the way they did in the past. 100k is probably more attainable if they only put out two or three books a year because people will be so starved for D&D books that...

Perkins has an interesting way of speaking, very different from all the other people who talked in the video.

Ok, thanks. I suspected there was maybe more to it.

I have a question about this exchange. Was the man who responded to the question implying that he did not need clarification? I suspect he is but his response is too emotional and irregular for me to be sure. I just wonder if there is something else going on that I might have missed.

I'd never seen one of these before so thanks for the info. The language doesn't bother me but, even so, it feels a little forced... almost like they are going out of their way to use it.

Wow, how surreal. I wonder if Perkins had even the slightest idea he would be doing this kind of stuff when he joined the company in the 90s. I'm surprised at how much "colorful" language there is too.

Weren't elements of whimsy added because the rest of the adventure was seen as too dark and depressing? That sounds like comedy relief.

Agreed. Also, just imagine the original Hellraiser movie with amusing, whimsical, Alice in Wonderland elements in it. Would there have even been one sequel? No, and Clive Barker would be seen very differently today.

The art is so, so at best. More bloated and disgusting would have been better. Also, less is more.

Whimsy might work in the right place and in the right setting but I think it should be a primary theme throughout a planned adventure and not just throw bits of it in here and there. As many others have said, it's also hard to pull off right because people's senses of humor are so different...

There is no WotC employee on jury duty, there never has been a WotC employee on jury duty. Oceania has never been at war with Eastasia...

Alice and Wonderland whimsy mixed into an Underdark adventure sounds like a great idea for most people here? Really? To me, it sounds completely ridiculous and lowers my interest in the adventure to almost zero. I understand that we don't have the entire book yet so I'll reserve my final...

Winged monkey goblins? I'm thinking Wizard of Oz now.

The weight of the SCAG looks more comparable to Hoard of the Dragon Queen and the Rise of Tiamat. SCAG weighs in at 1.2 lbs, Hoard of the Dragon Queen at 1.4 lbs and Rise of Tiamat at 1.2 lbs. Could the SCAG be as small as 96 pages? If true, that would be a bit disappointing.

Does anyone have an information on what the page count for this book will be? I know it's a bit early to tell but I'm still curious. Based on the previous 5E books and their pricing, I'd say we'll get about 160 pages for $40. But, on the high side, it might end up being more than just 160...

Freakishly and disgustingly beautiful.

Freakishly and disgustingly beautiful.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of those love it or hate it kind of things. I'm really hoping that this will be the first AP that feels like a must buy for me. The overall plot still seems too weird but once the book is out, it might all come together and make sense somehow. If not...

What were the images? Anything interesting?
