Was able to download it just fine on my end - got my email ~1 hour ago. For those of us who bought the original, they seemingly bundled the revised version in with your original purchase. The email link pointed me to my original order on the web store, but the download link contained a zip file...

Just as a heads up for those interested, the Revised Illrigger has been released as of last night. Haven't had a chance to go over it in detail as of yet, but MCDM patrons can supposedly get it for free through Patreon and emails are going out to those of us who purchased the original with a...

Of course a book built around the Infinite Staircase is going to be framed as "multiverse spanning" - it's one of the major planar causeways like Yggdrasil the World Ash, connecting to places of artistic expression pretty much anywhere. EDIT: And now I realize I'm in the thread for the Vecna...

They said Quests from the Infinite Staircase is a collection of updated older adventures a la Yawning Portal and Saltmarsh, but I don't know that they're necessarily going to be the same adventures from 2e's Tales from the Infinite Staircase.

Another thing that just came to mind is the involvement of the Greyhawk goddess of fate Istus in the new 5e backstory for the Deck of Many Things. They're going to a lot of effort to make/keep Greyhawk relevant if they don't plan to do anything with it.

Also Ghosts of Saltmarsh - they went out of their way to specify that Saltmarsh was still in Greyhawk (even if they didn't really expand on it beyond that), when they could have easily made it setting neutral or even dropped it into the Forgotten Realms somewhere with fairly minimal effort.

I mean, they're still regularly drawing on characters that originated in Greyhawk to this day: Mordenkainen, Bigby, Tasha/Iggwilv, Vecna, etc.

Might be an image of Vecna from before Kas turned on him.

Don't think there's a link back to the Critical Role web store, but Darrington Press is definitely listed in the book's credits.

Darrington Press is Critical Role's publishing arm (or the one they used for that book, at least). https://shop.critrole.com/collections/books?sort_by=created-descending&filter.p.vendor=Darrington+Press

Not just you. The volume's definitely low - chat's been complaining about it.

Very nice. Definitely based off of older maps of Sigil - a lot of locations that didn't make it into the 5e release, and none of the new ones (that I can spot at a glance, at least) - but the general layout is the same.

For what it's worth, Forgotten Realms lore equates D&D Tiamat with the IRL Tiamat through her presence in the Untheric pantheon, who are/were essentially the ancient Babylonian(?) pantheon transplanted to Toril in the same way and for the same reasons as the Mulhorandi/Egyptian pantheon: i.e...

I seem to recall some suggestions that Aberrant Mind Psionic Sorcery may have its aberration flavoring toned down in the 24' PHB - an optional source for the character's psionic powers for those who want to lean into it, but not necessarily the assumed default.

Less a straightforward psionic power in the vein of telekinesis or telepathy and more a "tapping into the power of an aberrant entity from the void between the stars" kind of ability - specifically Hadar the Hungerer, which I believe originated with 4e and ties into monsters like Star Spawn and...

They've stated that Aberrant Mind Sorcerer (renamed to Psionic Sorcery, I believe) is earmarked for the '24 PHB, so I think that ship has already sailed.

In 2e's Factol's Manifesto (released 1995), it's mentioned that Pentar (factol of the Doomguard) is making explicit preparations for her Faction to involve themselves in the upcoming Great Modron March, an event that is stated (in that book) to occur every 17 years and slated for roughly a year...
