    Do the previews even say there are new spells in the book?

    Oh I see, interesting. Just re-read the 5E entry, it explains that. I thought most extraplanar creatures cannot be killed permanently except on their home plane. (Which is why Yugoloths will fight for both sides of the Blood War anywhere, except on the Grey Waste of Hades). Modrons kinda work...

    More likely they are afraid of getting cancelled on twitter/facebook if they would release a Deities and Demigods book now, because of late, many bored (and probably somewhat loopy) people with nothing better to do have taken up worshiping the old gods (I say loopy because for reals, have these...

    Not really. Planescape's Planes of Chaos books gives a very easy to use system where a character can concentrate on say, creating solid ground for the party to walk on. The area/distance depends on wisdom score, and you can do it while fighting, it is similar to concentrating on a spell. So the...

    Why/how do they act horrifyingly evil? You think a spider hunter wasp is horrifyingly evil too because of the way it reproduces? (If you do not know, they paralyze a living spider, often even biting off its legs so it cannot escape, then inject their eggs into it so the larvae can eat it alive)...

    But... that is an anthro mouse. A Musteval is, as the name implies, is an anthro weasel.

    Sure, but if it was "canon" as in, official, they would have referred to its stat blocks in later adventures. Or they would have been up on D&D Beyond. We mini collectors at Minisgallery also wondered whether Wizkids would make minis of them - after all that book had art and stats for Baalzebul...

    Funny thing is, a few years ago the Baldur's Gate comic had an issue where the Elf Wild Mage girl finds herself on Mechanus and has all sorts of adventures, such as being chased by Modrons, meeting a Moigno (those intelligent equations given form), and then she gets attacked by a Parai that...

    I guess this does confirm that the Minsc' and Boo's Journal of Villainy book was indeed third party or at least not canon - since the Demodands in there had completely different art and stat blocks (no summoning for example, Farastu was CR7 and could get weapons stuck to its skin). Love the new...

    D&D 5E (2014) Glory of the Giants' AI-Enhanced Art

    I know people who instead of inking a sketch, use some technique called vektoring in photoshop. I tried it a few times, never worked... I am sticking to what I know. At any rate, looking at the Maw of Yeenoghu, it looks like the artist basically had the AI somehow do all the digital coloring...

    Well the point is, Primus did an experiment to impose order on Limbo, and it did not work. As far as I understand he did not create the Slaadi, they already existed. However they started to use the spawning stone to reproduce, and I think the theory is, the weird gemstones that are inside Slaad...

    Xanxost would have been tailor-made to do the bestiary, agreed. Well, we can hope he is in the book in some form. Maybe adding small footnotes like Elminster did in Volo's, to correct Morte? LOOOL. I like this. It reminds me of the old auto-translators like Babelfish and early Google translate...

    Ravenloft is a book I never even bought, they neutered the whole concept by removing alignments and leaving too much freedom for the DM to change the setting. I feel that book will get a re-release online once they transition to OneD&D or whatever, because as we have seen in later releases like...

    I am torn on the DiTerlizzi covers. The new art for the books and DM screen looks pretty nice too and DiTerlizzi's while harkening back to 2E which I loved, seem to have little to do with the actual book content - for example with he drew Morte for the Bestiary, not a Githyanki...

    That's funny, if he never existed, then who kept narrating and adding comments to Volo's Guide to Monsters in his name? ;) (Ah it was probably Shemeshka, she did mess with Mordenkainen and Bigby too by having an apprentice release his secret writings...) ;) But, umm, they ARE Chaotic...

    If Orcus once killed Primus - and Orcus has an 5E stat block - then logic dictates Primus will too have a stat block. Probably CR22 or over, but it is kind of a point of the Modron race that Primus can never truly be killed, one of the Secundi will be promoted instantly... unless you meddle...

    Here is hoping we see some Archons (the celestials, not the terrible looking armored Elementals, those are called Myrmidons anyway), Guardinals, Lillends, maybe even classic celestial Elf style Eladrin. It's crazy that 5E has been around for 10 years now and they never gave us more than 3 types...
