Perhaps FR has begun to parallel Greyhawk. Greyhawk was the setting for most of the early adventures (as FR is to 5E), so it was the default setting for a long time. Then there were a few new settings got added to the mix, like Dragonlance and FR (in 5E terms, that would might be Eberron and...

I’ve had fun with Savage Worlds, but mostly as a secondary game. I agree that a little luck with exploding dice can really throw things off… I had a major villain that was supposed to be nigh unbeatable get one-shotted thanks to to a ridiculous damage roll. You may want to consider the house...

I guess I am officially transitioning to an old curmudgeon! I just don't get what the kids are into these days... I've never been able to watch more than 10 minutes or so of any of these actual play shows without getting bored to tears. But that's at least twice as much time as I've ever been...

D&D Anniversary Edition or Gold Edition.

I’d bet money it will be called either Anniversary or Gold Edition rather than any numerical designation. It’ll make it feel less like a true edition change and hype up the big 5-0 milestone. As for what I think the PHB will have: Races revised, per Tasha’s (flexible ASI, languages, etc.)...

I’d be all over a Realms to Spelljammer campaign! Mostly adventure, with just enough setting information to expand on! I really hope that’s what it is, but I’ll probably be disappointed… it’ll be Boo’s Guide to Skullport or something like that.

I would actually love to see something like that. I was just saying to my buddy last week that I think it’s a major missed opportunity that the new campaign setting books haven’t been followed with a big adventure book for that setting. But while I might be willing to pay for something like...

I remember all of these properties from my youth, but are they still popular with the kids? Are are they marketed to middle-aged guys like me looking for a nostalgic game, or is this something today’s younger audience will be interested in? I figured Transformers was still around after the...

I may be mistaken, but I believe those are the only three settings available to creators on the DMs Guild. I think settings open up when WotC publishes an official book for it--so no Dark Sun or Dragonlance unless and until they have a book for it. That said, I am really excited to see this one...

I miss some of the options included that used to be on stat blocks, like activity cycle or number appearing… but those old stat blocks were kinda useless in play. I guess I’d really like to see a combat stat block that focuses on what you need in a fight, and then a standardized...

Firstly, if you look at the image on the website, which shows the back, that dwarf is on a downward slope... so, gravity. Second... magic wheelcair!

I'm not crazy about the coffin shape simply because of shelf space reasons, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good. Honestly, I'd prefer if they did all their big adventures as boxed sets. Having maps and handouts that don't need to be ripped from the book, and separating the monsters are...

Speaking as a DM whose players have exploited the heck out of Healing Spirits for ages (following every tough fight with a "conga line" through the spirit), I'm pretty happy about this change!

I don't know anything about the setting or Critical Role, but I welcome it. Now that 5E is releasing settings (yay!), it seems like they are alternating between new ones (Ravnica, Wildemount) and established ones (Ravenloft-sort of, Eberron). Personally I think it is a great strategy. I'll be...

I think we are probably at or very near having enough subclasses. It seems like the new ideas in UA are pretty specific corner case concepts rather than broad archetypes that can it any campaign. After the Artificer, a Psion class is about all I can see for new classes. I think there are room...

Looking forward to this one, but that cover is real disappointment.

Yes. Yes it is! Admittedly, it might be a fun alternative Monster Manual, presented somewhat like an "in-world" tome of monstrous lore, but I'd hate to see how a long stat block like a dragon or vampire would look.

Maybe I'm getting too old for this s#!$ but I think having to read a whole sentence to express what should be a few words and abbreviations is a terrible idea. Walls of text are a pain to read through when at the table, so having a parenthetical with the stats to catch the eyes makes things a...

Wow, none of this sounds even remotely interesting to me. This will be the first 5E product I take a pass on. I'm happy for those it appeals to though.

What is the city map situation? Big poster map, smaller maps of the individual wards in the book, etc?
