Too late by years

Its not Steampunk, but its not '70s grim fantasy anymore either. D&D has always been about a decade behind on what influences it, so when it came out it was 60's movies and popular books (many from the 30's & 40's). Pretty much now its 2010 movies and popular books, maybe even a bit closer...

I guess the Book of Many Patterns will go well next to the 1980's D&D Needlepoint kits.

Opposite for me. No need for starter sets nor care about FR and Eberron. My interest is piqued by the thought of Dark Sun, but I'm nervously cautious. May come down to whethere there's a Beedles & Grimm version that will be available, and if it comes with a cloth map.

In D&D, I can only recall using Starspawn from the 2014 MM. Though I have an unfinished campaign/adventure with strong mythos vibes that ends with Cthulhu rising. Haven't gotten to the point to even playtest beyond the opening encounter, which isn't mythos related.

Shimra are unusual predators in the Land of Ta. Primarily found in the land's lush jungles, these amphibious creatures mix traits of leopards and tree frogs. They hunt near rivers and streams, lying in wait in trees above to leap down on creatures within the water, and use pools as spawning...

Iggy, the Goblin Warlock. Iggy was always destined to be great, and that's what always got him into trouble - or that's what he liked to think. He was scrawny growing up, and often bullied by his mates for his unnaturally yellow eyes. But these "hawk eyes" of his could see farther than any...

You can sell or otherwise turn over magic items for things you need in 5E. Both the 2014 DMG and Xanathar's discusses doing so - Xanathar going into more detail as a "downtime activity".

There are so many possible “animal folk” races that can be made I decided to go generic and create one “Uber” race to cover them all in one fell swoop.

I’d like to see more of the battle mats and what the actual adventure covers - those are the components that I’d be interested about getting from the box.

For me, as much as I genuinely enjoy 5E, this would be my wants: One book. The core should be rules-light enough to cover all the essential player option, a good mix of monsters, treasure and whatnot. Rules Enclopedia did it once, it should be possible to do again. Less focus on combat. The...

I’ve never been big on the Law/Chaos axis*, but I definately can get behind the Good/Evil portion. As many others have said, it’s great shorthand for me as a DM to give me a starting point for fleshing out motivation and personality. Doing more than a caricature means going beyond alignment...

Finally broke down and bought a copy of "Dungeons & Dragons - the Making of Original D&D: 1970-1977". While reading through was an interesting look at how the game to be and looked like before I knew of the game, it's not something I could ever see myself playing. Still, a good book to add...

I'd kill for more boxed campaign sets. Those are the reason to have a boxed set in my mind.

I'm not sure how I feel about this UA. I'm glad they're considering Dark Sun material, but it doesn't feel particularly thematic. Also, odd that two of the subclasses are "Bad Guy" leaning. I'm guessing that if they do use this for Dark Sun it will be assumed PCs are Preserver spellcasters by...

Not an auto buy, but I would enjoy a Dark Sun campaign book, Council of Wyrms campaign setting and Kara-Tur campaign setting book. Now, if they redid Jakandor, that would be an autobuy.
