Yeah, the stark difference between the standard and variant just isn't here like it was with RFtLW.

Well there is one thing here that will certainly be house ruled at our table . 😝 The new designs are a mixed bag for me. I don't really like warforged looking less "earthy", but if that artillerist is a shifter, that hits the mark for me. It mentions that the shifter, changeling, and kalastar...

I think you missed Reynard’s point. You can't manufacturer nostalgia. CSIO exist in the mind space of a lot of people's formative years. Something like Talislanta or Skyrealms of Journe might could, but a completely new product just doesn't scratch the same itch.

In a pinch, you could use the stats for Skadi in the 3e Deities & Demigods.

Yeah, Art Nouveau is fine for Eberron. The lack of wooden muscular and sigil on the forehead just makes it look off spec for a warforged. I do wonder if the new book will be revisiting Stormreach. Xen'drik is the most logical place to put the PHB’s mini-giant Goliaths.

I saw where they recently retconned Grandpa Simpson from Greatest to Silent Generation. I reckon that if the show last much longer, Homer will be a Millennial.

I love that we’re getting a new Artificer that has nothing to do with gears and guns, but... Yeah, spontaneous generation isn't the fiction here. You should have some dead flesh to reanimate into your Frankenweenie!

Yeah, the lack of support for non-fantasy genres isn't from the lack of games set in those genres. TSR/Wizards alone has produced lots of non-fantasy game that just haven't met the opportunity cost threshold for not using those resources for a D&D supplement instead.

From what I remember, Alternity had GURPS level sales. That's great for SG Games, but for a company used to D&D level sales, it was deemed too great an opportunity cost.

CC-BY is more open in that it allows for more use cases, including restricting use of derivative content. So yes, it is more open and less open than something like ORC, in different senses of open.

For the system I'm working on now, I'm experimenting with a complex skill check system based on mobile merge games.

Did ChatGPT see the word "socializing" and turn the dwarves into Communists?

SRD 5.2.1?

If the progressions were standardized you could actually do those cross-class subclasses that they attempted in the Strixhaven UA.

We'll probably never know, so we can comfort ourselves in our own presuppositions. 🙂

I'm sure that between the simulationists and people who thought the original UA rules were hot garbage, it got pushed down below the the "needs work" threshold.

I still think they had no intention to substantially changing the way wildshape works. They threw out a really terrible version of template wildshape as a stalking horse, then had cover to say "it wasn't what the community wanted".
