Magic items have traditionally being the biggest chapter in the DMG, it probably still will be, but I could see the other chapters being bigger than they were before. They mentioned a Who's Who somewhere before with the DMG, which I'm guessing should say who everyone from Acerack and Drizz't to...

I'd be curious if they took anyone's suggestions on how Bastion's could be improved. I wrote a lengthy thing about how some facilities should be able to "level up" instead of having Scriptoriums replace Studies, because you're higher level.

We've got statements that there'd be better advice about DMing, a basic overview on Oerth with Greyhawk as a example campaign setting, that Bastions will be there and of course a lot of magic items, but no previews yet. So how about making your guesses about what'll be in the new revised DMG...

Golems with cannons built into their forms, as in the late-medieval/early-renaissance type artillery cannons, I'd put their damage at 4d6 for "light", 6d6 for "medium" and 8d6 for "heavy". They could either be humanoid shape with a cannon for an arm, or just one of those old artillery cannons...

Yes, but they probably want to do it after the new PHB is released.

And that's correct, because even the designers have said that default D&D is in the Renaissance era.

I'd be curious when they said "other systems" if they plan on tackling other systems that rely on dice pools.

So they'll have 2 books for Forgotten Realms, one Player focused and the other DM focused some time in 2025

Bring back the Binder, even though they merged some of the things about the Binder into Warlock. But the concept of a class with variable abilities that they can change every short or long rest would be an interested.

I've always had the idea that Sabre is a weapon that's very much like the Rapier. That it's a weapon that's bigger than a Cutlass (which I'll say is the "same thing" as a Scimitar) and can be wielded with speed and precision: Martial Melee (One-handed) Damage: 1d8 Slashing Properties: Finesse...

I think Dark Sun is still viable, because it's a campaign setting about how Defiling / Climate Change has ruined the world, bringing about some apocalypse for it's post-apocalyptic setting. Last time I checked, the world is still getting ruined by Climate Change.

I've been told that the Tablelands and surrounding area in Athas isn't bigger than Texas (or perhaps it was some other smaller American state). That means there's a very small part of an entire world that hasn't even been explored. There's certain people like the Nikaal that come from unknown...

The complaints about Planescape was it didn't have as much detail on the Planes as much as the entire product line of Planescape, which I think is a silly one since it's only 1 product that was released and it has perhaps a little more detail on the Sigil and the Outlands than the original boxed...

Acid never fit well with Earth, but it is what they came up with in 3e, Bludgeoning damage is probably more appropriate but there has traditionally been balance concerns over that. In the past Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing were only resisted in attacks, and rarely resisted in spells and...

I'll see if we get more in the "Future of D&D" beyond "Here's some more details from the DMG!". It feels like they need to at least hint about where the 7 excluded subclasses from the 2014 PHB might end up, and common concerns like "What about the Artificer" and popular things from previous...

Some of 2e's Guide to the Ethereal Plane was about Dreamscapes, they devoted a bunch of pages to a Dreamscape called Anavaree which was centered around this adult woman in a stasis pod of a crashed spaceship, who was dreaming of this fantasy world as a little girl. The Astral Plane has shifted...

Traditionally in D&D there haven't been too many varieties of natives to the Ethereal Plane, a lot of it has been Incorporeal Undead, a Humanoid species called the Nathri which never had the same appeal as the Gith, Phase Spiders, the annoying Ethereal Filcher and the Ethergaunt which probably...

You know there's also a thing called a tape measure that you can use, assuming it's the 1 Inch = 5 feet scale. Use a mini tape measure that's flexible.

It also might be weaker in other languages, like "1 word" might make it weak in Chinese (I don't think there's a Chinese version, but theoretically if there was) since maybe the standard expectations of what Command might do, is a phrase that generally requires at least 2 words/characters to...

Someone pointed out that Command if it allowed any single word, might be even more powerful in some of the non-English international versions of D&D.
