In order to do that, they would have to know how to do that. WotC aren’t holders of secret lore. If the experienced players on this forum don’t know how to do it neither does WotC.

I think the slim hardback is a technical failure. Printer: “sure we can do that, no problem!” WotC: “shouldn’t a book be - flat?” And the slim paperback proved an economic failure. I think WotC see online only as the way forward for anything not big enough for a full size hardback.

Personally, I would rather have no adventures in setting books. If I want an adventure I’ll buy an adventure, if I want a setting I’ll buy a setting.

I think he will set out to make something better, using what he learned from Eberron.

I’ve encountered quite a few speaking nothics as a player and as a DM, and they always speak Common, so I think the OP is right, a rule that is generally overruled is a bad rule.

Yeah but I like flashy VFX more than I like earnest sincerity or gritty realism in my RPGs.

Nope, I like both. I don’t think Tolkien is a good fit for the silly shenanigans that RPG players generally get up to though.

The rest of the underdark is a long straight tunnel. It’s probably too draughty. That’s the thing, slipping through is exactly how you would handle these in 5e, you could complete it in a few minutes.

And if you want to buy a generic fantasy setting this is probably the best you can get through DDB. I think the thread has already covered that. Not just my opinion.

Same reason as you would purchase any other. And this one better written than WotC 5e setting books (don't know about the new FR books though). Especially well done is exactly what it is.

The problem with your criticisms isn't that they are falsifiable, it's that they make no sense. It sounds more like Matt Mercer ran over your dog.

Err, I make up a completely new threat for every adventure, irrespective of setting. Doesn't everyone? I'm not looking for a setting to provide the plot, I'm looking for it to provide you know, the setting. Actually, it's far more consistent than Discworld, which was cobbled together as the...

That episode has the most annoying organisation possible, with information from the same encounter scattered across different pages, a poorly laid out world map, errors on the other map, and "oh yes, you need a wandering monster table but we couldn't fit it in".

On the whole it’s not very good. I’m running it at the moment, it does have a few interesting ideas, but even they need reworking to make it playable. The difficulty is walk-in-the-park.

It was one of their Extra Life charity things.

Been there a while - Lost Laboratory of Kwalish before they redid Barrier Peaks. It’s not very good though.

This one is still great in 2025. You could expand Averoigne (or reskin it if you didn't want to directly quote C A Smith) to book sized and turn it into a Ravenloft domain.

And Martians from John Carter. But it was White Dwarf that added Martians from H G Wells.
