Sorry all, I've been busy the last couple of weeks. Should be posting these again here soon!

People are reacting as if the covers are portraying an act of torture or the like. Or like a 3-year-old with just 4 clashing crayons available created them. Yeah, they aren't my favorites, but they're just merely OK, aggressively mid-tier. Not something approaching horrifying self-eye-gouging...

Good to know. I wish they mentioned how far south it went - FR setting maps waver between going all the way to the south coast and cutting that part off. At least with Thay mentioned, it's definitely going far enough east. Does the article mention how much text coverage will be given to the...

Also, have we heard anything about poster maps for these? I'd have to imagine that we'll see at least one, although one for each book would be nice.

I read somewhere that Alias will be the narrator for the Dalelands section. Hopefully we'll see them in action together again! But in any case, if she is the narrator, that does make at least a bit likely that the Lost Dale and its inhabitants will be described, as she and Dragonbait were the...

Spelljammer, Planescape, Bigby's, and Fizban's all had 60 -70 page bestiaries. It seems to be the standard for releases like this. Just throwing in a few dragons will start moving the needle on the bestiary page count pretty quickly! Beyond the spirit dragons, yellow and brown dragons are old...

It's not highly speculative. We've had these before for multiple other releases. Planescape, Spellljammer, and so on. They've been either extra monsters or short adventures. For Spelljammer, for example, it was one of each, and for Planescape it was a short adventure.

That's supposition, not proof. Can you prove that those aren't for a 2026 product? All UAs so far have gone into actual print products, as long as they weren't outright rejected.

The books together will be 380 pages. So, if there wasn't enough room for this stuff in something with that large of a page count, then, yeah, we'd probably wouldn't be seeing it at all outside a digital release.

OK, I was skimming the previous posts and just overlooked that then.

There are 50 mini adventures, so I would guess that each big region would likely get multiple. A guess would be that each mini-setting would get 4 (so 20 overall) and each big region would get 3 (so 30 over all). Although honestly, reading back on this, there's nothing that has been stated in...

The Outer Planes are Planescape, the Forgotten Realms are the Forgotten Realms. They still connect, but the Outer Planes aren't part of the Forgotten Realms in as much as it is shared by all. Like it was in 2e.

I think having the direct verbiage might clear this up. Can someone with access to the article post exactly what they said about the 10 regions and their relationship to the five mini settings (if anything for the latter)? The main reason I would currently argue that the 10 regions would all be...

There will a magic item section, so let's give it about a third of the length of section in the DMG at around 30 pages. If we give 15 pages to the 5 mini-settings, that's 75 pages. That gives us around 100 pages left. If the book is this length, I very much lean towards much of that balance...

Also, the bestiary (presumably in the DM's book) is almost certainly going to be 60 - 70 pages. Every recent book with a full bestiary - Spelljammer, Planescape, Fizban's, and Bigby's - all have bestiaries in that range.

At most, it will be a very brief and macro-level overview of the setting and its various regions in the players' guide. Maybe a few pages at most. I expect the DM's book will have much fuller coverage. I'm beginning to wonder if the DM's book will be somewhat larger than the player's guide...

Wow. I got it from them right as it was released for basically cover price. I guess they had a lot more in stock at that point!

Duergar would be similar - you just remove some abilities substitute in enlarge and invisibility like the elf lineages do.

Since there's 160 extra pages, there's plenty of room for a much expanded bestiary (and the 50 one-page adventures) without infringing on the page count for other things. The bestiaries for both Spelljammer and Planescape were 64 pages; I wouldn't be surprised to see the same here.
