I think it is pretty cvlear that what we are talking about here are things like Sword and Fist. Only 3.0 did that.

Write it for playability, not readability.

So, no?

I mean, I don't think we need to talk explicitly about the value of using smart, talking things as antagonists, do we?

I don't own any of those. Are they hard to follow? Are they "wall of text" adventures?

"The Lost City of Z" is done and I must say that the last 20% ish where it is about how people who believe things very much yet fail and then turn to magical systems in order to "succeed" is horribly depressing for me.

The Conspiramid is much more big picture than I am talking about here. I mean when the PCs come to the town or the court or even the dungeon, mapping out how the individual NPCs and/or factions interact with one another on even a micro level.

I think a really interesting exercise might be to "rewrite" a WotC adventure in the accessibility style we are talking about here. What does that look like? Where is the balance?

I don't think we have seen soft bound short player facing books since 3.0

One thing I make for myself that I am not sure I have ever seen in a published module are relationship webs: just a bunch of pictures of NPCs in the situation (I steal headshots from the internet) with a name and basic description, connected to the other NPCs with various kinds of lines and...

What's the significance?

Does WotC usually use PAX to announce the new slate?

The biggest problem with printed terrain is I have no talent for painting.

Yup! Yeah, I am trying to decide exactly how elaborate I want to get.

I am generally a minimalist Gm when it comes to tabletop accoutrements: my TacTiles and dry erase markers with some tokens for monsters and stuff is usually enough for me. However, I kind of have an itch to do something more elaborate for a con coming up in February. So what are the various...

I have no idea, as I have never read that book. But given it is a MtG setting, I assume that those not-made-for-5E tensions still exist.

Was someone making that argument?

As I stated upthread, 5.5 moves some elements from species to background, and that could be represented in setting design in an interesting way. 5.5 is a looser ruleset than 3.5, so a lot of the "these are the effects of the magic item economy on the setting" we saw in Eberron aren't really...

It would be to 5.5E what Eberron was to 3.5E.

Dragonbane has a lot going for it. While I generally prefer Shadowdark, there are enough elements of Dragonbane I want to steal that I should just cobble together a "Shadowbane" ruleset.
