That was it? Not very inspired, IMO. Definitely doesn't live up to the name!

Theros essentially took a bunch of options off the table. From Theros: A diverse assortment of peoples dwell among the lands of Theros. Aside from humans, the races in the Player’s Handbook are unknown on Theros, unless they’re visiting from other worlds. This chapter provides information...

I am familiar with the setting, but not he old mechanics. What did defiling do mechanically in AD&D. I was under the impression that magic using classes were simply banned in DS, I didn't realize there was a mechanic that let you use magic through defiling.

Personally I assume any and all information about entities as great as deities and their ilk is unreliable / not wholly accurate

Yes, the have mind flayer dragons and dracohydras but not the other chromatic or metallic dragons. It is a bit odd IMO as well.

Not exactly. The 2nd paragraph of the Tiamat section states: "Many scholars believe that Tiamat was a primordial dragon who helped form the Material Plane with her brother Bahamut." And Bahamut is describe as "A primordial dragon so massive he dwarfs..." Also, both Tiamat's Lament and The...

Mine just arrived! I wasn't 100% sure I pre-ordered it!

That is true of any adventure someone claims is the best thing ever. There is not correct answer to that - it is, like D&D, very personal and subjective. What is great for your is terrible for someone else. That is the way.

I didn't realize - my apologies. For my part, I only backed the artist sketch version - no AI art for me!

Everything is done except: Final edits (need to check with the editor) One piece of art and need to do Primordial Tiamat stats I have been busy with work and personal life so I haven't really had the energy / motivation to work on the art or primordial tiamat. I hope that will change soon!

I agree, it always is. The opposite for me. Now the PHB had more of the happy go lucky art; but I barely pay attention to that book! The DMG and MM art is where it is at for me and that as definitely had more of the dark and grim art than the bright happy art. I like both, but the grittier...

I am curious, how much do you think the most recent books from WotC (the MM & DD) fit into the idea of modern art:

They would have to pretty much create a whole new SRD for 4e too, unless it can piggy-back on the 3e or 5e one. The 4e SRD is in a very different, and much less usable, format than the 3e and 5e SRD.

That is fine to be excited about, but that was never really in the cards. They only ever discussed looking at older editions and implied 3e would be easy so why not.

Not a mechanic for me, but glad to see they are trying things out.

It is to early to appear on this list, but the Epic / Immortal Rules for 5e just launched on Kickstarter: God Rules Immortals for 5e

Any interesting innovations?
