In that same vein, karaoke should be renamed "substitute singing"

Since Eberron is coming out, I would like to amend my answer to include a Spelljammer book, one that actually details some places.

Enjoying that we are getting: Druid-flavored Bard Wizard-flavored Cleric Ranger-flavored Fighter Arcane-flavored Paladin Warlock-flavored Ranger Divine-Flavored Rogue Cleric-flavored Sorcerer Fighter-flavored Wizard

My wishlist: -More Radiant Citadel content. -Cities of the Multiverse: a series of Urban Adventures and City Gazetteers, with cities like The City of Brass, Tu'narath, Neverwinter, etc., as well as build-your-own-city tables, and urban subclasses, feats, n' such. -Bloomburrow MtG campaign...

Renfield finally gets a statblock, lol. All these new vampire-adjacent statblocks makes me feel like Curse of Strahd will be up for a remaster in 2026.

Someone does a funny voice. Jeremy pushes up his glasses. Something akin to "We wanted the art to tell a story." Easier to read, easier to run.

Official 5e Witch Class. More Eberron stuff.

The Twilight Cleric is notoriously powerful (some say the most powerful subclass of any class). Maybe your DM thinks that combining it with the 2024 rules will somehow break the game. I personally think it is fine, but who knows?

I think the 2024 Ranger has a lot of its power in the subclasses. Interestingly, I made some level 1 pre gen characters for some people that had never played before (8 classes), and the table unanimously agreed that the ranger seemed the strongest. (Level 1 mind you). I think it's capable of...

I like it a lot. Even the introductory sections had some useful advice, like tips on running exploration, which can be a weak spot for me. And I LOVED how it calls out antisocial players.

I was also averse to 3rd party content, but then someone showed me Valda's Spire of Secrets from Mage Hand Press. It's basically my 5E PHB2 now.

Spellshaping? Ring of Spellshaping? It's simple and intuitive. You could also just call Sorcery points "Magic Points" or the classic "Magica."

Good points. I always check in with my players re tone, themes, and setting. I would love for the "established assumptions" to change. I am starving for new types of settings

You are right in describing what most settings actually are. But it doesn't have to be. A campaign in ancient Egypt or Sumeria could be about creating those artifacts, traveling to the underworld or Mount Chimera for the raw materials. Or maybe it's in a sort of Ancient Greece, and there may not...

I thought about including that as an example too! It's a common trope of fantasy settings to have lost technology from an fallen empire, but you don't necessarily have to have a dark age. Maybe your not-Europe didn't forget Greek stuff for 1,000 years. Maybe your Rome never fell!

Here is my take: A fictional, non-Earth world cannot have "anachronisms," or be "historically inaccurate," since it has no real history or chronology to adhere to. Just because the zipper was invented relatively recently in the real world doesn't mean that a fictional civilization couldn't have...

I saw somewhere that Chapter 8 was actually Bastions. I will try to find it. Edit: Found it! The 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide (First Look) | D&D News Chapter 1: The Basics: This section will cover important information for new DMs. This will include discussions of what makes a good DM as well...

@Christian Hoffer Good to see you here! I think we live in the same city.

I also noticed that you regain all your spent Hit Dice on a long rest now. So that's nifty.

The comic looking bits are credited to a guy named John Grello. Here's a photo of its manufacturing info...
