So? Firstly, AL rules got nothing to do with how the D&D team plans material. The book could come as primarily an adventure, and AL goes along with it. The DMsGuild is wildly inconsistent as well on this, as Avernus and Witchlight aren't new setting technically but the DMsGuild allows material...

We are going in circles here so I should drop it, but my point is relatively simple; the cards should stick to the premise of the sets name. Checking the wiki, it looks like Warhammer 40k is getting a Commander deck. As an example, I think it should stick to 40k characters/worlds and not...

I don't really agree. I think the last two sets have been, but MTG has been making sets tied to specific setting for years (it's their main release model). They chose to make the D&D sets like this. For the first it was fine, but in the future I'd prefer they actually stay close to their title's...

It's a possibility. I feel like they'd prefer to release things more tied to a specific untouched genre, but I won't count anything out.

For some reason, I believe that this book will be PRIMARILY an adventure, as much as that may annoy people. The biggest marketing push is always for the summer adventure, and it's already looking like this Spelljammer book is getting the big summer push. I get a lot of folks are saying "It...

I mean, you're right (the cards speak for themselves, there's really no consistency). I'm just saying there should be. If they make another D&D set for say Eberron, I'd like them to stick to stuff actually tied to the place closely.

Yeah, it's definitely not. Barovia and Borca are actually from the same world, and its established that after Barovia was subsumed, a couple hundred years passed and then Borca was taken too. Additionally, we actually know a bit about this world from Van Richten's. The city Malitain, where...

Well, you'd think the set would try to stick to characters from Baldur's Gate (or at least have been to Baldur's Gate like the Githyanki).

...Why is Baba Lysaga in this? That's a Ravenloft character.

If there was any doubt Spelljammer wasn't coming (and there wasn't much, there's a UA after all), I think this safely moves Spelljammer into the "Yep, it's happening."

I like it, but only in the context of something D&D has released. Compared to other miniature companies, this is meh. One thing though... Lolth does not have stats in 5E. Pretty weird to release a mini for her unless that's changing soon. Also, here's a really good spider mini from GW, which...

Well, Ashardalon was 10 years ago. Not that they won't ever go back to it, now that Wizkids is tackling better minis themselves... although I think both Wizkids and GW are mostly ditching resin for plastic whenever possible. But yeah, I do think it a bit unlikely. I think all of the attempts in...

I'd be super surprised if they did resin figure in a box, as cool as that would be. Love a box of any kind though!

I personally believe the classic setting returning (Spelljammer) and the summer adventure are the same thing. I don't know if that qualifies as a new format or whether that's something else, but I do feel confident that the Spelljammer and Dragonlance books (both likely this year) will not share...

Colville seems to think that they may actually hit $2 mill, as apparently they haven't yet launched a planned ad campaign. I'm guessing it probably doesn't matter how much they raise, they seem likely to do it even if they fall short. I'd be surprised if they hit $1.9 mill and say "Oh hey, he...

Oh totally agree. Part of the delays are due to the studio waiting for a week where they wouldn't have any competition... which they did, but in week 2 it dropped by 76%. Which is apparently the biggest drop for a superhero movie since Steel... and I've seen a lot of movies, and I barely know...

He mentions Pathfinder in the livestream, he's never played it so he won't talk about it. I think as a player he respects other systems just fine, he plugs ones he thinks look cool on his Twitter. But as a business, they only focus on 5E, which makes some sense considering it's the 500 pound...

I'm fairly certain the summer adventure is still a thing. I can't remember where it was said/hinted, but there was a nimplication that the annual adventure books tend to always sell well, as there is a group of people who buy them, run them in about a year, and then pick up the newest one when...

Eberron certainly shares some traits with New Capenna, both inspired by noir pulp. I'd say Eberron is still firmly medieval noir punk however, and New Capenna is much more heavily influenced by 1920s gangster/detective noir.
