The teaser is... so so. Not what is advertised, the teaser itself. They can do it well -- that Spelljammer teaser they made a few years back and that Drizzt trailer they created were both much higher quality. I liked much of the art within (some of it reused, such as Drizzt's), and very nice...

@GarrettKP Apologies if you've answered this already, but did they reveal any information on who is the Lead Designer on the project? I am hoping for Jason Trondo or James Wyatt.

He’s there. Look below the cambion’s left wing. It’s a cameo when compared to his appearance on the regular covers, but still.

Many thanks for all the information! It looks full of good material and I'm very excited for the book. Interesting line-up of factions. Promoting the Cult of the Dragon to full PC faction is a fascinating choice -- they're not only villainous, like the Zhentarim, but they're insane. One branch...

Always excited for Chris Perkins’s work. Crawford has never been a narrative/story guy, so interesting to see him assigned a campaign book.

Oh you’re right. He’s almost imperceptible, without any of the oomph the other 3 get. Among the villains, I see Nihiloor and Xanathar, best buddies in crime, and Acererak the lich. I’m assuming that green ghostly lady is Valindra.

That is beautiful. It's so much better than the regular covers it might as well be from another planet. I'll get the variant cover this time.

Many thanks to all who responded thus far. Here's how the List looked on Page 2, a few days ago: @Xenophon223 had argued for Tymora, and I understand her popularity--but as @James Gasik points out, she comes bundled with Beshaba. I'm hoping Garl Glittergold takes care of luck. Is there...

I enjoy this as a worldbuilding idea, and have put it considerable thought, but ultimately I think it doesn't lend itself to very clearly-defined gods and divine relationships. If players need to pick a god at character creation, the matter shouldn't be too esoteric. I think aspects are fine...

No, there’s no need for that. I can write new piety rewards for each just fine. I was asking for advice on two things: (1) What gods I should include, since I want players to be able to select from a handout I will create to resemble Theros’s player-facing section on gods. They’re new to FR and...

The new cover art is fine and serviceable. I don't mind it and I won't think too much about it. I do think Tyler Jacobson's SCAG cover is a vastly superior execution of the same concept. Tyler Jacobson's other covers are even better (I find Rime of the Frostmainden's gorgeous, for example). I...

The preview looks great, and the character designs are all very distinctive. The animation also looks more fluid than it is in the Legend of Vox Machina, but that may be just for the teaser.

This looks fantastic -- thanks for the link!

Personally, I love Tolkien, and LotR is probably the greatest fantasy influence on me bar none. But I think that it's difficult to overstate Tolkien's impact, even to those who don't like him. The entire genre was shaped by his works. That fairly famous quote by Terry Pratchett is still valid:

Here is my current list: BAHAMUT, god of justice, wisdom, peace, rulership, selflessness, and redemption. TIAMAT, goddess of pride, power, wealth, greed, avarice, arrogance and might. CHAUNTEA, goddess of home, hearth, agriculture, familial love and simple joys. Known to the halflings as...

In-universe, he rose to godhood when he devoured Azuth in 4e. Azuth got better eventually somehow. Out-of-universe, 4e (maybe later 3.5?) rose devils to greater prominence and Asmodeus got a promotion to godhood across multiple settings as a result.

Sincere thanks to all and everyone who responded, it's deeply appreciated. I've started from the roster that @GreatestHonor kindly provided and worked from there. I agree with @Derthwen's suggestion to include Bahamut and Tiamat, as they (a) are iconic, at this point, (b) are the dragonborn's...

I am starting an FR game (2014 5e) soon, and I would like to give the Piety subsystem from Mythic Odysseys of Theros a try. For those unaware, Theros offers players a detailed breakdown of 15 gods, with associated benefits depending on how much the player furthers their patron god’s agenda. My...

I really like Fzoul; I tend to use him often. Somehow he survived his god dying, his second god going mad, and his first god coming back, all without losing his lofty station as high priest. There's some humour in his total willingness to turn coat, even against a god, and still walk away from...
