There was, if you scroll down the page there should be a link to the second part.

The novella was written back when the first Therosset came out, around 2013 or so. Amazon.com: Theros: Godsend, Part I eBook: Jenna Helland: Kindle Store

Yeah Volo is news to me, but Enevhar describes my take on it. I'm not put out of things either way, I was just relaying what I know of the magic canon for people here, who tend to know more about the D&D side and less about the MtG.

Yeah I think this describes the current situation too. The stocking point would be printing a tournament legal D&D set, but I'm hopeful they can do that there as well.

Crossing over as in, they take place in the same canon, officially. What we have right now is a D&D book about a setting in a completely different multiverse than any other D&D setting. Once Theros will be out, official canon will be that Theros and Ravnica are linked within their multiverse...

Oh hey boss, DMs aren't accountable to anyone for canon. I'd never say that! If you want your party to cross from Dark Sun to Theros in the hot tub time machine their Ork jedi invented, more power to you. D&D has always been an incredibly decentralized game in that way, because every party has...

Oh yeah, if you played Magic you'd immediately recognize that as a depiction that, sometimes in Theros, hydras and dudes get in fights. Big part of the lore.

Magic has a ton of canon. More to the point, Magic has a ton of grognards who absolutely BITCH about the slightest perceived contradiction to canon. As an example, the rules of planeswalking say (as mentioned before in this thread) that individuals with the planeswalker spark are the ONLY...

Oh great, yet more evidence that BG3 is just a sad clone of Divinity! :mad: /s

One advantage of the setting is that it looks to be drawing on a lot of sources of inspiration that will be familiar and exciting even to players who know nothing about Theros and have no interest in Magic. Throw an ancient Greece-inspired city state at them with names changed and toga colors...

I'm hoping for some take on creature templates as well as a further step towards the Elite/Legendary monsters from 4E. Lair actions are great and I use them all the time, but I'd like 5E to push that concept even further in the pursuit of real centerpiece fights, and that sounds exactly like...

Oh yeah that makes sense. :p It has been a noticeable difference in tone recently, from the excuses about why they just can't really do a real, official crossover (basically the stuff I've been saying) until, around the time of Ravnica, the tone began to be more "okay what would you guys want...

I'm heading over to my LGS this weekend to see if I can get a D&D Theros game going in time for this thing's eventual release. Would be cool to tempt a few Magic players over to the D&D side!

Ravnica had a whole bunch of other reasons why it was successful. It was kind of in the perfect storm: Arena was out, so the game was expanding with a huge amount of exposure to a new player base, it was the culmination of like 14 years of metaplot and basically was its own blockbuster...

Yeah I agree with all that 100%, which is also why I've never cared much about the "problem" of the 5 minute D&D working day. It's never been a problem at my table, and I've found that by presenting the campaign world as living, breathing, and unpredictable as opposed to a series of...

There actually has been official word on this, Mark Rosewater has commented that a D&D set has been under consideration before, and in the most recent customer survey (WotC does them more or less quarterly), there was a specific question for Magic players about whether we would be interested in...

I've probably written about this more than anyone wants, but I think the two shouldn't be officially crossed over. Leave it like the old DC/Marvel crossovers, where it's fun to talk about and maybe some people continue to have it in their head canon that the multiverses are linked, but when it...

Another thing that isn't immediately obvious is that using them as an "effort" mechanic also subtly encourages players to use extra HD much more freely at the end of the adventuring day, when they know that a long rest is likely forthcoming. So if they've managed to keep a few HD around from not...

I had a character aged into senescence once. I basically made her exhausted all the time and threw in disadvantage on most attack rolls made when she wasn't at full hp. It lasted for about half a session until we conveniently did the necessary deeds for an NPC cleric to heal her back to youth...

They are talking about satyrs, which do have horns and goat legs, as well as leonin, who are a cat-like race of humanoids. So 2 different races, never worry.
