Wouldn't be against bringing back some of the more obscure chromatic/metallic/gem dragons, to say nothing of lung dragons, linnorms, 4e cataclysmic dragons, etc. Assuming Fizban's rather authoritative stance on "anyone who claims they've seen a type of dragon not explicitly enumerated in this...

I think they said challenge ratings for existing monsters were going to stay the same, but that they'd be reworking the monster statblocks to bring them more in line with the ratings they have, where needed.

Ah, I see. Was a big dinosaur nut as a kid, but I've been mostly removed from paleontology circles as an adult, so I wasn't aware of there being any particularly heated discourse on the subject.

Can't say I'm familiar with it, so... Apologies? Shrugs I'm a big fan of the manga One Piece, which had a character that can turn into a Spinosaurus during its last major arc (characters that can shapeshift into one type of animal or another is a pretty standard thing in the series), and the...

Reminds me of the Spinosaurus tail discovery from a few years back.

Only design I don't really care for is the new blue dragon... It doesn't say "desert dweller" to me in the way that the 3e-era design did, with the mixed blue and yellow/tan/gold color scheme. Looks more like a "storm" dragon design, perhaps even ocean-dwelling, like the bronze.

Straight up NG too - guardinals tend to be pretty furry...

I wouldn't be against promoting genasi to the PHB, necessarily, though there does come a point where page space becomes a concern, and short of reintroducing para- and/or quasi-genasi, I'm not sure there's anything to add there that MotM doesn't already provide. By contrast, we know goliaths...

If ardlings do come back at some point, it'll probably be as the all-purpose "animal person" we got for their second UA draft, with minimal celestial ties, if any.

Honestly, no idea. Just throwing them in there as a placeholder for "major CG celestial subgroup" because they haven't delved into that corner of the planes enough since "relocating" eladrin to the Feywild in 4e to give us an idea of the who the big name celestials in Arborea are these days...

To be sure, not saying the existing options should be deprecated or removed - they'll still be in Monsters of the Multiverse (which is supposed to be compatible with the '24 revision), regardless. Just saying that I'd like some options less blatantly tied to "angelic" heritage and more to other...

Phandelver is set in FR, and they announced that they have a "Red Wizards of Thay" adventure planned for 2025 some time ago - back around when we first got confirmation of the Vecna adventure, I believe.

Wonder if they'll give the PHB Aasimar a new set of celestial lineages to choose from that represent a LG/NG/CG planar connection to parallel the '24 Tiefling's Infernal(LE)/Chthonic(NE)/Abyssal(CE) choice, or just stick with the established Protector/Scourge/Fallen "angelic" options from...

Admittedly been somewhat out of the loop, so only just starting to get caught up on what's been revealed about the Vecna adventure, but do we know for certain that Tasha time travelled? Or is it just that this version of Tasha is not (yet?) the archfey version of her from Witchlight? The reason...

That may have been it - I did go through and reorganize the old UA pdfs I have on file to make it easier to find things a while back. Can't say for certain, as I don't recall if the timeframe matches up, but it wouldn't surprise me. Crossed wires, et al.

No worries. Not sure where the "Psionic Soul" thing came from. Maybe I was going through the older, Tasha-era UAs at the time and a wire got crossed somewhere...

Huh... Could've sworn I remember hearing that in an interview during the UA phase that covered Sorcerers (UA 7, I think), but going back I can't seem to find it... They refer to its new name as "Aberrant Sorcery" there... This may be something my mind has somehow concocted out of thin air. If...

For what it's worth, I believe they've said the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer is going to be rebranded as the "Psionic Soul" Sorcerer in the '24PHB, so chances are pretty good that the Far Realm/Aberration flavoring of the subclass is going to be significantly more optional than it was as portrayed in...

MCDM Productions. It's a smaller TTRPG publisher that grew out of a YouTube channel run by Matt Colville, who created a hefty playlist of videos of advice on DMing, in addition to having worked in TTRPGs and video games professionally. They've put out a handful of third party books and...
