Aren't the later Mistborn books basically noir second world urban fantasy?

Other reports suggest this film is set well after the Return of the King and folds in elements of Return of the Shadow. So Tom will appear in a sequel to LotR, if the reports hold.

Because a key defining feature of "Urban Fantasy" the genre is that it is set in the contemporary world (or a second world very, very close to it). I don't quite understand what the confusion is.

It is so strange that some folks want to fight against the simplest reason: it is fun to be excited for official D&D things.

The genre terms are well established. That doesn't mean there aren't fuzzy line or corner cases, but you having an internal, personal definition based on your understanding of the words does not have any impact on the existence or viability of the genre terminology. I have no idea what you mean...

Sure. They "could." But that would also mean reviving d20 Modern (or make a 5E Modern or whatever). That all sounds much less likely than even the high unliklihood of them doing a Urban Fantasy setting at all. I only brought it up because someone asked what fantasy subgenres were not covered by...

I have not looked deeply into it, but based on the campaign page, it seems so. I think D&D could have a setting like that. I personally wouldn't do 2026 modern, but maybe 1926 modern.

I find it very strange that folks don't know what urban fantasy is in 2026. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy

I have a table of brand new players, ages 30 to 40, who are hyped and enthusiastic about the game. I don't know where everyone is finding these apathetic players, but maybe invite ones that are actually excited to play?

Like I said: an idiot... Thanks.

Neither of those are Urban Fantasy.

Sure. I am among them (although I would guess I first discovered GURPS in the early 90s). It is just so very granular and crunchy and I don't know anyone who still plays it.

Like, why wasn't it on a map IN THE MODULE?

You seem to keep missing that this is NOT about me not liking or "wanting" settings from other publishers, large or small. it is about the desire to be excited for something great from official D&D -- in this case a setting that creates the same excitement and wonder as Eberron when it came out...

We played session 1 last night and I must be an idiot. For the life of me I could not find Nightstone on any map of the sword coast.

You are a week early (I hope).

So based on this being EN World, I am not surprised that 5E is the largest share. I am a little surprised that GURPS is so high, tho.

Just finished the first real session of my "teaching millenials" campaign (however long it lasts.) My personal trainer expressed interest in trying D&D along with 3 of his cousins. They range in age from 30 to almost 40 (I'm 50). Last week we did a session zero for them to create characters and...

If you are talking about "stuff happens in the setting" then you are probably right. If you are talking about "people writing about it" not even close. You could fill libraries with Tolkien scholarship and screeds, and twice as many with Harry Potter fanfic.

Sorry. Pet peeve of mine. But I agree insofar as things that ARE steampunk can be aethetpunk'd up in order to fit in Eberron.
