Yeah, I tried the wvook thing, just not the same without the physical element.

In 4E, Half-Giants were Goliaths and Dray were Dragonborn. So at this point, those decisions are practically vintage.

This right here explains a lot about WotC design decision making in general.

They don't, but a "Dungeon" is a likely place to encounter that many opponents in a timely manner, and it is what AotC Adventure looks are full of: Dungeons that follow the DMG Encounter building guidelines. And...the game is about fighting stuff in Dungeona, the fights are fun, not tedious...

Oh, there is no maybe about that, it was pretty explicit during the Next tests that the design structure if Encounters was about Dungeon raids: the part of the "Adventure Day" that people find tortured is that it is an attempt to apply the standard of a Dungeon to a more abstract set of...

The "Adventure Day" is a Dungeon: build and stock a Dungeon with the DMG guidelines, put a little plot pressure on clearing the obstacle in a timely manner and...the system sings. The character power attrition Dungeon of 5E is a bit different from the classic feel of an OD&D logistical...

How is the digital Atlas?

It really is focused on providing a Dungeon experience, for that matter.

It is nice and heavy paper, yup.

Volo's was the first they did at all, and 2019 was the first year they did more than one, with at least Saltmarsh, Eberron, and Avernus. Before that it was one a year, strictly.

It ia easy enough to print at home or at the library, but the offi ial sheet pack has a lot of sheets, printed in good quality, and a nice folder for notes and such.

One of the more interesting things to me about these numbers is that we know now that Beyond sales account for 67% of D&D revenue...ao I think it is fairly safe to assume that some number of Vancouverians (apologies to all if that is incorrect) who bought from @FitzTheRuke before probably...

Used to be HeroQuest before Hasbro bought that trademark back, right?

Well, they were simplified, yes, to be easy to use at the table for Space High Fantasy adventuring. That's a pro, not a con. Well, no, they are quick and dirty...which h is what I would expect from a 5E D&D module to add a minor subsystems to the game. This isn't Traveller, there are Victorian...

They are pretty great.

The two main non-culture war negative responses I have seen are people who know too much about the lore and can't stand changes, and then people who only knew the films who are horrified by Silmirillion accurate Elven lore.

Just to quibble, don't forget to include the Core Gift Set numbers: PHB: 130/399 = 0.326 MM: 64/196 = 0.327 DMG: 88/214 = 0.411
