They basically took over Sembia for a bit, but in the end they were overthrown, and the last of their floating cities crashed over Myth Drannor.

Thank you! If you can, ask how much coverage the areas outside the mini-settings will be getting. Hopefully they'll just say outright though...

That does given some wiggle room for things for gold vs. shield crunch, such as putting in alternate abilities for gold with shield as the same as the PHB, simply because those would be new  lineages and not species. That's just hope and speculation on my part, though.

The dwarves baking was pretty cool, actually, although the baking was just one character (everyone else is forging/blacksmithing). All the PHB species section art was basically "what this species looks like when at home."

Same here! If they do go the full 60 - 70 pages like other recent releases, there's plenty of room for all sorts of monsters to make a comeback! My hope is that one of the DLCs is Cormyr getting the mini-setting treatment. It's irked me that Cormyr, being pretty much one of the main pillars of...

I've always found the tiny 6 by 6 inch box of treasure to be the most hilarious part. It's the draconic hoard equivalent to a penny jar.

I was thinking similarly, at least in part. They may also be a mix of locations and adventurers.

Oh, sorry, I must have been editing when you quoted the post. As I said, it's nothing like the old 1e - 3e spirit dragons, which didn't possess wings.

The closest thing I can find is the emerald dragon in Bigby's, which has roughly the same coloration (dark green on top/back, pale on the bottom/stomach), but the horns are definitely not a match - an emerald dragon's horns are floating crystals, and not branched. I was also possibly thinking...

Sorry all, I've been busy the last couple of weeks. Should be posting these again here soon!

People are reacting as if the covers are portraying an act of torture or the like. Or like a 3-year-old with just 4 clashing crayons available created them. Yeah, they aren't my favorites, but they're just merely OK, aggressively mid-tier. Not something approaching horrifying self-eye-gouging...

Good to know. I wish they mentioned how far south it went - FR setting maps waver between going all the way to the south coast and cutting that part off. At least with Thay mentioned, it's definitely going far enough east. Does the article mention how much text coverage will be given to the...

Also, have we heard anything about poster maps for these? I'd have to imagine that we'll see at least one, although one for each book would be nice.

I read somewhere that Alias will be the narrator for the Dalelands section. Hopefully we'll see them in action together again! But in any case, if she is the narrator, that does make at least a bit likely that the Lost Dale and its inhabitants will be described, as she and Dragonbait were the...

Spelljammer, Planescape, Bigby's, and Fizban's all had 60 -70 page bestiaries. It seems to be the standard for releases like this. Just throwing in a few dragons will start moving the needle on the bestiary page count pretty quickly! Beyond the spirit dragons, yellow and brown dragons are old...

It's not highly speculative. We've had these before for multiple other releases. Planescape, Spellljammer, and so on. They've been either extra monsters or short adventures. For Spelljammer, for example, it was one of each, and for Planescape it was a short adventure.

That's supposition, not proof. Can you prove that those aren't for a 2026 product? All UAs so far have gone into actual print products, as long as they weren't outright rejected.

The books together will be 380 pages. So, if there wasn't enough room for this stuff in something with that large of a page count, then, yeah, we'd probably wouldn't be seeing it at all outside a digital release.

OK, I was skimming the previous posts and just overlooked that then.
