My personal opinion is that the Art is the most compelling part of DS and if Brom isn't back, what's the point?

I don't think.there is any indication it was ever anywhere on their radar. The oy reason we are seeing the BG3 characters in the FR books "DLC" is WotC was completely caught off guard by the game's success.

That may be true, but so does making a Spelljammer or Planescape book, and WotC did that. Even more niche is Dark Sun, which seems inevitable. "not everyone likes it" in relation to high level material falls apart a bit in light of niche settings and adventures.

I'm trying to figure out why new features costing additional money is a bad thing.

Lots of people make high level play seem more daunting than it is. I think part of it is 3.x trauma, which is valid, but high level 5e is not nearly that hard. Just do it. Play high level. When you run into stumbling blocks, find or create solutions.

Why there isn't a BG3 module, I will never know.

Typically speaking, how much time do you prep for any given unit of time you actually play? For example, when I run convention games, I typically prep for an hour to effectively run a 4 hour game slot. it is less (half an hour) if I am running something a little lighter like Shadowdark, and a...

Great introductory DMG> I am not sure how "great" it is for utility after you have run a few sessions. I don't like the layout or organization at all. I wish they had not a Phandelver level Starter Set and put all that intro DM stuff there (and made that material available for free on beyond)...

I did this to good effect for a high level, god-hunting D&D game for a convention. I tweaked the formula a little each session and finally landed on a pretty good solution. There is a thread around here somewhere.

This is a good question. What is the point of these languages? Outside of simulation purposes, what do they add to the game?

The format has or is soon changing as well: big fat quartly hardcover instead of monthly softcovers.

A couple players from my steampunk/aetherpunk supers convention campaign Carole me into running a monthly game of it. The Arcanopolis Knights Live!

For clarity, I did not mean reducing the number of levels. I meant eliminating or replacing low level.abilities with higher level ones as you level, so the total number of things the players have to juggle remains manageable.

I have considered this a number of times for a convention campaign, but have yet to pull the trigger.

You said I was just responding to that. We all know Eberron is not coming to Daggerheart.

Sure. I agree. My post was meant to say that whatever Keith is doing has next to no impact over whether I would still want a Daggerheart version of Eberron. For clarity: boy would I.

Military Urban Fantasy is about as close as I can get, but I will totally run that game.

Okay. i'm pretty sure we are talking more about genre classification.

The shake out happened pretty early on, though. What's the old addage? Science Fiction has a rocket ship on the cover, and fantasy has a dragon? Despite fuzzy genre lines, I think anyone can look at Spelljammer and see that it is purely fantastical, with no real "scince" elements at all, even...

That is the real "Vancian."
