    D&D General Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Coming From Luke Gygax & WotC

    ...yeah, watching the entire panel does not at all leave me with a definitive impression that this will be a proper wizards-of-the-coast-produced campaign sourcebook akin to eberron rising from the last war or the explorer's guide to wildemount; that conclusion is ambiguous conjecture at best...

    D&D General ShortQuests Are Digest-Sized D&D Adventures

    ...oh i don't disagree, which is why i make a point about material expressly for 5.24; generic 5e is fine but 5.24 mechanics carry homework and genre assumptions i'd rather not bother with in a market saturated with other options... (mind, none of this speaks specifically to this project...
