    D&D 5E (2014) Keith Baker's Eberron/Ravenloft Crossover Comes Next Week!

    I've read the whole thing... but I don't think it's totally fair to review something you've playtested.

    D&D 5E (2014) Keith Baker's Eberron/Ravenloft Crossover Comes Next Week!

    @Morrus Book is out, time to update the OP?

    D&D 5E (2014) Keith Baker's Eberron/Ravenloft Crossover Comes Next Week!

    There is an adventure actually - I'm not sure how much of the final book it will be, but per the producer and adventure designer in the discord " The Mourning After is for brand new characters and uses milestone leveling." Only a pdf - hardcover approval process is tricky these days, and this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ray Winninger mentions third project!

    That's probably more of a 5e design style decision though than specific issues with those archetypes - Martials don't get to do cool things and I doubt they're going to change that any time soon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ray Winninger mentions third project!

    As a general rule, reporters on D&D are just re-reporting official WotC releases, it's extremely rare to see source work done (has to be one of the big scandals/controversies rather than standard product rollouts)

    D&D 5E (2014) Ray Winninger mentions third project!

    For reference, "the new hire" is Mackenzie De Armas https://twitter.com/MakenzieLaneDA I'm still holding that Tarkir is more likely than Kara Tur, but even if they did do Kara Tur it'll be under that name rather than "Asian Adventures" or anything along those lines - WotC seems plenty happy to...

    I mean if we're doing setting fusions they already announced Planejammer for the end of the month

    D&D 5E (2014) Ray Winninger mentions third project!

    My best guess is we get another a year from now, as a 2022 q2 release, then the third in the 2022 November slot

    Ixalan when? Eberron can't be the only setting with dino goodness! (Yes, I know the answer is "when the MTG team decides to return to Ixalan")

    D&D 5E (2014) Ray Winninger mentions third project!

    Re: Asian themed fantasy. I personally expect a visit to the MTG plane of Tarkir (EDIT: also page for original timeline) is far more likely than a revival of Kara Tur - a revival that changes lots of things risks angering fans of the original, but if you don't change enough then WotC will...

    D&D 5E (2014) Two New D&D Books Revealed: Feywild & Strixhaven Mage School

    For the record, the MTG setting books have sold quite well - not as well as Eberron, but they're beating most of the september hardcovers

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e has everything it needs for Dark Sun

    Assassin Rogue + Entertainer background just... does that. Infiltration Expertise & Imposter are both extremely social oriented. The main gap is the actual poisons, which... is just a general 5e gap.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e has everything it needs for Dark Sun

    I will say, I don't get why people feel a terrible need to shoehorn 5e FR cosmology (The Weave, Shadowfell/Feywild) into Dark Sun. Dark Sun is not FR, the core books present the FR cosmology as a starter set of assumptions because it hews closest to "classic fantasy" assumptions. The Grey is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e has everything it needs for Dark Sun

    So, I will say that folks expecting a TCOE/XGTE sized subclass supplement for Dark Sun are almost certainly going to be disappointed. Yes, past editions have included a large quantity of class content for Dark Sun... just like they did for every other setting, because the pre-5e TSR/WotC ethos...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e has everything it needs for Dark Sun

    Why not just replace Powerful Build with Size: Large?

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e has everything it needs for Dark Sun

    So, I know this isn't how past editions have run defiling, but in my Wednesday night Dark Sun Savage Worlds game one other side effect of defiling is you can't cast spells from recently defiled ground. So there's a power level boost, but it forces you to move a bit. (The benefit I'm providing is...
