They should use these as the Abier mirror to the Moon Shae Isles.

I've been trying to think of what other factions could give. We see what I think is intended to be a Spirit Dragon on the cover, so maybe Emerald Enclave gives SD eggs? Or we know Order of the Guantlet raises Hippogriffs (Griffin like creatures, but not sentient and half horse instead of half...

It sounds like the goal is as few retcons as possible by mostly focusing on the present. Any big changes like PDKs will likely be explained still, not retconned. It was pretty clear the only intended retcons would be stuff Tondro felt was particularly offensive and perhaps even then only when it...

It sounds like he's avoiding landmines whereever possible, often by not exploring any part of the past not needed to make sense of things. So Sundeeing, ToT, Spellplague, and Sundering 2 are still canon, but not the focus of the book, the present is. I do think the Amethyst Dragon Multiverse...

Green Goblin?

Okay did not know he even had a substack.

Yes, Drizzt stuffed you in there and then took your lunch money 💰 /jk There are blankets you can buy with a 5e map of Waterdeep on them, I hope they do the same for Faerun when these books come out.

Oops. Cool! I still hope it ends up on blankets and other more durable physical products.

I'd pick Wyatt despite Fizbans & Bigby's not because of them, rather his history of success world building products. Tondo doing Book of Many Things really has no relevance, it's not a setting book, it's support for an accessory, it tells us nothing about how Tondo approaches setting building...

I thought it was Jason Tondro as well based on the first video that mentioned these books when they went by different names, but remember hearing somewhere that James Wyatt was the lead. I'll see if I can find my source tomorrow. I think the lead on the DMG was Chris Perkins, although I have no...

That seems very weird not to have a poster map in the product, but I assume it's so in creating the map they don't have any limitations imposed upon it that printing it as a foldable map would place on it. It's supposed to huge, maybe they couldn't fit it in with cutting stuff so they decided to...

Tymanther suffered from being linked to the Spellplague for awhile, but I think the SCAG & The Brimstone Angels & Griffin Brotherhood Saga changed that and it really feels like it made a place for itself in FR. It wasn't the only major change to a location that survived the Sundering however...

I believe I heard it was James Wyatt as lead for these books, and no one has more experience and better experience at world building then James Wyatt at WotC. Both MtG and D&D side. He also has FR experience.

The SCAG was designed with Jeremy Crawford's mimimalist gamist setting philosophy in mind, abit by Green Ronin (hence why it has an ad for Green Ronin products in the back), these books are designed with James Wyatt's much more deep lore nerd, deep cuts design philosophy instead with Ray...

Not just that, but shrinking things down makes the Empires and Kingdoms look less impressive and in some cases left out entirely.

Should have just made the fold out map 1 page bigger, problem solved.

Damn that big. I guess that would make Chessenta much larger then modern day Greece for example.

Heck I'll be thrilled over the moon if you can move your cursor over say a city name and a pop up or tool tip shows you info on the city for example.

The 3e & 4e maps went all the way to Var the Golden/Drowned and Mogholm.

Ed's original map went all the way to Semphar and the southern most coast of Faerun.
