Yes, before WotC really started doing settings a wished they would release little PDFs like that for all of their settings. You can always go back and make a bigger book, but that was a good overview that gave a DM enough to make it their own IMO.

True, but 8 monsters a campaign setting and an adventure is a lot to stuff into 32 pages

Why? Honest question. I am trying to understand your position which is very different than mine, I think, on the subject canon.

I don't know anything about Lorwyn, what would be exciting from a bestiary perspective?

Basically me too. I would only but a starter set as a gift for someone else. Of course I don't need the adventure either so it has really 0 use for me! But I would never discuss its worth/value to me as I am not the market for this product.

Oh I think it is always safe to assume we are wrong about the intentions of D&D

I don't have the product nor the knowledge of the product to discuss that.

Actually that is precisely what you are doing as well. Several people did address your issues, but you don't seem to respond directly to those post. So it just goes back and forth as he said she said. I would suggest following the order of operations in the box and then I think things will...

Yes, I agree with @Paul Farquhar here. Not that adventure specifically by AD&D and 1e rules and 2e lore specifically. My feeling that the rules and lore were poorly done and I could do better had a huge impact on my 34 pages of AD&D/ BECMI era houserules and creation of my own campaign world. I...

Fortunately you're wrong about their intentions for D&D (with regard to this product) so no worries then!

It would be overwhelming to newbie have to learn all playstyles so you present one generic one.

And there are many in this very thread who provide a much more liberal (and IMO accurate and logical) solution. I don't see any reason to expect one response over the other (except personal bias - which is very valid in these cases). Yes, and it is not like the thread is 1K pages of people...

I might revise this to say: "...very common in my 5e community." I do feel for you @EzekielRaiden, you do seem to be stuck in the most conservative and unforgiving 5e community for you. Your experience has definitely not been mine!

I just noticed there is a Beyond article with designer insight on these subclasses: Designer Insights from Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Update I don't recall seeing this before. Have they done this for other playtests?

Sounds like the best design philosophy to me! :p It is a wonder that I am not a PF2r fan!

My favorite answer from the article:

I am not sure about the color versions, but posted pictures of my unpainted ones in post #30. The detail is amazing in the sculpts, better than I expected that is for sure.

Thank you - they are looking great!

Please do! It will be a long time before I get around to painting mine, so I would love to see some WIP encouragement!
