Assertions that "D&D is dead" have been going nearly non-stop during the entirety of my life and I've been playing D&D since '83. They peak immediately after new editions.

I'm actually wondering if the Luke Gygax project is going to tie into that.

D&D: Goliath hands yeti its ass.

Man, wasn't that a letdown!

I'm holding to my prediction that it will be a Tier 3/4 modules designed to be played after the ones in Adventures in Faerun. Tier 3 is when players are meant to start venturing out of their home region, so it would be a perfect continuation for a campaign regardless of which region they started in.

I did pretty good. If the fall release turns out to be Dark Sun, I'm golden.

I'm curious if the re-write of the backend to make adding new stuff easier if we will see a return of Unearthed Arcana being implemented in the engine.

I opted to just do the World and the Otherworld (or Spirit World). The Otherworld has regions where fiends, celestials, fey, etc live and the influence of these areas is often seen in the World, but the Veil (my world's ethereal plane) was created to separate the two and keep the Gods influence...

Would have been funny if that was Bigby.

There were eight "Racial Feats" in Exploring Eberron (p. 212) and they're included and adjusted for 2024. Changeling Metamorphosis (General Feat for Changelings) Focused Personas (Origin Feat for the new Changeling Traveler Background) Aereni Half-Life (General Feat for Elves) Quori Bond...

I've got it. I similarly didn't get a lot of use out of most of the mechanics but they have been adequately updated to the 2024 ruleset. Any problems they had before still exist, this isn't a rewrite as much as a straight conversion. I got it because I did use some of the magic items and spells...

Yes. Did a side-by-side compare and saw updates to be consistent with the new approach to lairs, legendary saves and actions, resistance to physical damage, and general formatting.

I still have the theme song to this show stuck in my head.

I know, I was referring specifically to location ones.

Given that all of the campaign adventures for the various campaign settings in Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerûn top out at Level 7-9, I wonder if a Thay campaign book might not in fact be focused on Tier 3 and 4 play. Those are the tiers where, according to the DMG's guidance, characters...

Given the Mystic Subclasses UA that just dropped, I'm leaning towards a magic-focused rules expansion being a near certainty. https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/ua/mystic-subclasses/mrF6k4xf0yYFJL2m/UA2026-MysticSubclasses.pdf

Weighing in: I think Dark Sun is a sure bet at this point. (Betting on a fall release.) An anthology has been a regular annual release, so I think there's a fair bet we get one this year but I couldn't guess at the theme. (These usually drop in July, but some come early.) I'm wagering on a new...

A good depiction of defiling magic:

My solution for 4e Dark Sun was that magic was defiling by default and you needed to expend your Bonus Action to avoid it. This reflected the extra effort needed and give a mechanical temptation to do defiling when you really needed to use your Bonus Action for something else.
