Changeling for reasons. Or an elf. I'd like to live a long time.

I left D&D 5e for Pathfinder 2e. I quite like 5e. The core 5e experience is pretty satisfying for me, a good amount of crunch but not too much. My biggest frustration is the difficulty of balancing high level encounters, its just a lot of work as a DM. The rest of my frustration mostly comes...

That is a bonus for me. A light settings is great because there's less work to start running in it. But I do like details, they give me ideas for plots. Factions, towns, ruins... all of that is good stuff. I do think there's a perfect middle-ground but it likely varies by the GM's taste.

Y'all are doing a great job selling Greyhawk to somebody who's never used it (me.) That's what makes a good setting to me IMO. I've read some where adventure seems to jump off the page and brainstorming as a GM is easy and others full of fascinating fluff but I still feel like I'm doing all the...

I think the game does just fine with the selection of feats it currently has. So if that 75 is just the majority of what was released in the PHB, Tasha's and Xanathar's re-printed, I'm honestly fine with that. As a crunch fan, more might be fun, but its hardly necessary.

Being part of a multi-verse is easy enough to ignore (there's no such thing to me) And unless a recent adventure gets canonized in the next Eberron sourcebook I'd say my point still stands. Because that's just it. We've had 3 "Core" Eberron setting books and they all start in the same year...

My favorite thing about the old designs was that each type of dragon had a consistent look. All red dragons had the same horn shape, etc. etc. So as long as they keep that (which they appear to be doing, why else would you need a ref sheet for a dragon?) I'm cool with it. Also these designs...

Honestly the issue I had. I wanted to get into Greyhawk just because I love digging around in fantasy worlds, but some of the names for things just felt so goofy. Iuz? Maybe I'd get used to it with time, I got used to Forgotten Realms after all.

Well I mean, I kind of get it. One of my favorite things a bout Eberron is there's been no meta-plot advancement (though sure, they added dragonborn and stuff.) I prefer when books don't have these meta-plots, because I just end up ignoring them. Which then makes it more difficulty when I'm...

Y'know, not every setting needs it, but I always liked Greyhawk having heraldry. It was a good way of showing right off the bat that this fantasy world is very medieval feeling, not like the very high fantasy Forgotten Realms.

True, I wonder how big a chapter it will be. Greyhawk might not be as well-published as FR, but it still has plenty to write about, so I'm curious how much detail they'll give us. The 3e Gazetteer was 32 pages, but that feels like a big ask for a "sample setting." But also something Nentir...

True, but after the first half of the decade of "Ugh, Forgotten Realms again?" I sort of expected it. Also after neglecting Greyhawk since basically 3rd edition, I'm certainly surprised to see it return! Getting a new map is exciting, I wonder who will do the cartography and if we'll be able to...

Wow, I'm very surprised! I figured they'd keep pushing the Forgotten Realms, especially after Baldur's Gate 3! Which isn't to say that the first setting book or adventure won't be set in Faerûn, I just expected it to get the core rulebook treatment.

I'm too young for the original show, but I would adore a cartoon reboot akin to Netflix's She-Ra and Voltron. C'mon Hasbro.

Kobold Press always made nasty monsters IMO. I remember using some creatures from the original Tome of Beasts and being surprised how much they could do for their CR.

I like it. Colorful, cool adventurers, dragons, clean design. Pretty standard if I'm being honest but that's not a bad thing.

I definitely agree. Designing encounters and eyeballing difficulty is my biggest annoyance with 5e, so its aspect of the rules I'm most susceptible to bending for the sake of an engaging combat. The presence of books like Monster Manual Expanded and especially Flee Mortals! seems to imply that a...

Yeah, well as much as it may not matter to you or I, having the "official" IP matters more to some people. I do think an official HP tie-in would probably sell more than "off-brand" attempts. (No shade intended.) I didn't hear that it was bad, just okay. Repetitive quest design and such. I've...

This is awesome, always glad to see MCDM doing well too.

It would definitely do well, but I'm sure would be damn controversial, given how JKR conducts herself these days. I mean, look at Hogwarts Legacy. That said, if JKR was Hands-off and you had a more considerate team producing the game, I'd be very interested. I was interested in Hogwarts Legacy...
