To get this slightly closer to the emphasis on the Material Plane in the OP, I've just discovered that Eberron: Rising from the Last War states that the world of Eberron is the "heart of its own Material Plane" in addition to its own cosmology apparently existing somewhere in the Ethereal Plane...

If that's the case then why was Spelljammer 5E even made? I'm also not against older content, but I don’t think publishing new rules for a setting and then abdicating presenting the setting in favor of hoping that fans will look to pdfs of old books or fan wikis is a good strategy, especially...

I'm honestly a bit surprised that WotC allowed BG3 to be so full of M-rated content, even before the shift towards becoming more inoffensive. If I have one criticism of BG3 it's that it can sometimes feel tryhard edgy (especially the Dark Urge storyline).

That does make it like older versions of the Plane of Shadow, which also connected multiple settings. I know it's not the intent, but as someone who primarily DM's Spelljammer I weasel around the "only one Feywild" statement by saying that the Feywild and Shadowfell are like the Material Plane...

The Planescape 5E adventure Turn of Fortune's Wheel has a baernoloth called the Scholar who shares a one of four secrets with the party, the most relevant for this discussion being: The book also says whether each secret is actually true or not is up to the DM, but one of the secrets is...

I think the return to the Great Wheel as the truth of the multiverse in 5E comes down to two things: nostalgia and broad applicability between settings. What I mean by "broad applicability" is that if WotC decided to start putting out planar material that it would be usable with most settings...

Between a new Planescape game and some kind of Spelljammer game I wonder which would sell better? I'd really like to see how those two boxes sets sold.

I would like a more tactical game or dungeon crawler. I would also hypothetically like a Baldur's Gate 4, but I don't know if anyone could make a good BG4 given how wildly atypical it's development apparently was (to the point that other studios have basically said "BG3 is insane, please don't...

Yeah, I've been a fan of Mega Man longer than D&D and it's been more or less a dormant franchise for a decade, so I'm happy to see it get recognition after so long.

For the adventures set in the Forgotten Realms that is the case. For Spelljammer it resulted in their essentially not being any setting other than a homebase (the Rock of Bral) and two barely described Wildspace systems where you only actually land on a single planet in one of them for one or...

I am glad at least that they're shifting increasingly to adventure anthologies that can feature many different locales and concepts. Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel and Keys from the Golden Vault were especially welcome additions that just felt fresh and new; new worlds, locations, gameplay...

I personally put dissatisfied, but on further reflection I think at least part of my dissatisfaction comes from a lack of planar material beyond whatever is included in adventures. It's kind of wild to me that we got Planescape before a Manual of the Planes, for example, and if I want a good...

Now that we are ten years into 5E, how are you feeling about the amount of content that has been published by WotC for use by DMs? Is there enough, too much, or too little?

If adding a 2 to a title confused people then I don't see how releasing a second set of 5E core books for 2024 with the exact same names as the 2014 core books won't be even more confusing.

Do you have a source for this?

4E tried that with the Dungeon Master's Guide 2, which had: Advice for storytelling techniques, such as failing forward, the "yes, and" technique, and vignettes. A section on collaborative homebrew setting creation ("yes, and" applied to letting players establish details about the world during...

They didn't ask about Elminster on Reddit, they reported in a post about the DMG 2024 Lore Glossary that they appreciated finally having another source outside of Baldur's Gate 3 to find out who Elminster is, further stating that they had previously read other 5E books that mentioned Elminster...

I really appreciate the Bastion rules as something more concrete and potentially team oriented than the downtime rules were, and the lore glossary was something the game needed for a while now to try and get the new blood to know and maybe care who this Mordenkainen guy is that they keep...

I kind of wish I had specified in my OP that I was wondering why the magazines as a collection of articles was discontinued, not specifically as a print medium. I still think that even if a monthly pair of magazines is no longer tenable that some kind of periodic online release along the lines...
