they are getting separate books, it’s not like they are getting nothing

I did not say I wasn’t, I said they usually contain some adventures I am not interested in, and once that ratio gets too high the question becomes whether to book as a whole still contains enough material of interest to buy it that goes back to whether the other 5 are of sufficient interest. No...

ok, that leaves two options, 1) the Kagonesti are tolerant about looks, 2) she just does not look all that different. The latter throws a wrench in your make up your mind, does she look unusual or not, and if not, wouldn’t that mean the ‘other’ Kagonesti would look more like her rather than...

two adventures is about 1/3 to 1/4 of the book. In that case the rest really must be something I want to make up for that. There generally are adventures I am not interested in in the anthologies already, if they now have a default 1/3 I do not care for, a single additional adventure might tip...

I guess because she still looks similar enough, an albino black person still has recognizably black features, they do not look white. Do the Kagonesti wonder about her?

and yet it was clearly pointed out that she did not. So what should she look like, just like the others or with the features mentioned that make her stand out…

I can only speak for myself, but I am not the least bit interested in that planar hopping tier 4 style or the power level at that point

most groups do not even get to 13th level, so it is not the lack of adventure support that makes them not get to 14 and higher

I don’t know, what one considers cool content varies quite a bit, and at high levels especially imo. Also, at that time characters are so powerful that challenging them will be difficult, and cakewalks are not cool, no matter what location they take place in. D&D should just stop at level 10 or...

yeah, don’t like the power creep and the ever more high fantasy / nothing has consequences or downsides vibe. As for the monsters, I am glad they punch a little harder, I hate that they still use spell references, and even moreso than the MotM ones. That is a step backward in my book. Overall I...

kinda very debatable, on some things it went backwards rather than forwards relative to the books in between, whether you consider this a ‘best of’ or ‘dropping the ball’ is in the eye of the beholder, I certainly see some of it as the latter at least

I’d be fine with iteration if one iteration didn’t take 10 years and actually got us somewhere. As it stands that means we never really get anywhere. What’s worse, I don’t think this iteration is overall any better than the 10 years old one. They fixed some things, they broke some things, and...

Yawning Portal: 14 Saltmarsh: 11 Infinite Staircase: 13

in terms of high level selling worse, absolutely

no, it’s not 10M PHB 2014, but 6-7M is in line with the around 1.6M that Bookscan is aware of. The factor of 10+ is for the 2024 books, not 2014

don’t think I ever read that, I certainly do not recall it. Are you confusing this with what happened between Raistlin and Fistandantilus?

not sure what is ironic about it. You take the estimate you arrived at and divide it by the Bookscan numbers, that is how you get to the factor of 4 or 5. It is not based on the Bookscan numbers but it shows how far off they are…...

I just explained it, he made a video about how bad 2024 is selling because it only sold 3k copies in its first month (according to Bookscan). That number is so obviously wrong that him making a whole video just regurgitating it as a fact to me shows that he has zero critical thinking skills...

Teos has a guy who has been doing this for years now, so they are used to looking into Hasbro figures and refined their approach. I do not trust Glicker at all after his Bookscan stunt. Someone who reports blatantly obvious nonsense like the PHB selling 3k copies in its first month lacks basic...
