As the first real supplement (ignoring the few species and spells from the Elemental Evil Players Guide) it was very useful. It gave enough general info on the SC to work as a players guide for most of the APs during that time. Plus it had enough Player Options to feel like a reasonable rules...

There are nuggets you can mine from it, but mechanically it's very outdated. Every species (except ghostwise halfling) was redone in MotM, bladesinger and banneret is in FRAG. The cantrips are in Tasha. Undying patron is functionally replaced with undeath patron, arcana domain and swashbuckler...

I wonder how they are going to handle elf lineages being baked into the elf species...

You can easily convince me about the old APs, but Volo's and Xanathar's has nothing unique to the Realms. You might as well claim there was five Greyhawk books (Mordenkainen's twice, Bigby, Vecna and Tasha) by that metric.

I'm still waiting for that conversation about Ravenloft, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The Influence action and how it sets DCs https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/rules-glossary

If WotC walked on water across the Puget Sound, there would be people wondering what WotC has against swimming..

At this point, I just want to see WotC announce something

I'd say I wouldn't hold my breath, but since Dhampir's don't need to breathe, that seems moot. We'll see on Tuesday

Lot of assumptions there. We don't know what what (is any) form the future Ravenloft product will take, but the few hints have been the horror UA and Ed Greenwood's slip of the tongue. I feel more confident about a sourcebook with player facing options than CoS 2: Electric Boogaloo, but we won't...

I mean, all they can do is boycott and complain, something D&D players have been doing for years now. I don't think it's going to change much; I doubt those parts will ever go free. But hopefully they think hard on future dlc packs.

They (and reborn and hex blood) were in VGR. If they reprinted them with changes (I highly suspect dhampir will be undead type) they will be in the next Ravenloft/horror book.

So, Heroforge has done collaborations with a lot of RPG publishers (Hit Point Press, KB, Coyote and Crow, etc) for specific unique parts as promotion for their game. Skycastle (HF parent company) just announced a colab with Daggerheart to have three of their unique species (a frog race, mushroom...

Eh... I would not be so quick to jump into Darrington Presses open arms considering what their collaboration with Heroforge has done to the latter community. They have absolutely no issues with digital only DLC...

I'm 98% certain the dhampir and related feats will appear in the Horror based Ravenloft product coming out in 2026 with the subclasses. Your paying for the Asterion stuff and early access.

BoCD? Is that a fourth edgelord book?

I love vampire stuff, so I'm interested in all the new toys and monster stats. I'm also interested in the Lorwyn/fey stuff. Not sure about Nethril, that might be a skip.

Not gonna lie, more excited about this than the actual books (as good as they are).

BoED/BoVD was products of their time. When people talk about how kiddy friendly D&D has become, I remind them what WotC looks like when they try to go edgy. (I also lump the 3pp Book of Erotic Fantasy in this as the trifecta of tryhard.)

They intentionally did add dud feats, for the same reason Magic: The Gathering adds inferior cards to a set, part of the game is assembling and playable character/deck and part is being able to pilot it. They said intentionally that feats like Toughness and Dodge were intentionally bad when...
