D&D (2024) August 18th Tarrasque-sized D&D News (Poll)

[Parmandur]

did you expect the race stat mods to be removed? How long BEFORE they did it did you except it?

I remember Crawford talking about that about 2018.

Giants, multiverse, MtG crossover. That's my guess for one of the announcements.

I just had an idea... And if the big change today is the release of 5.5... Today? Hear me in this: if you have the PHB, DMG or MM, starting from today you have access to the new books in D&D Beyond. After that release, they can fine tune and apply errata live, with just a news to tell people what has been changed, following people discussions. In 2024, they will print those book as the 50th Anniversary Revision, and they have plenty of time to do the transaction between online to book: typesetting and new art.

• They will boost the sale on D&D Beyond of the core books
• People will check and give feedback on the books...
• ...that still will be sold in two years, but what probably will be the cleanest and not needing errata version ever!

What do you think?

Maybe they're opening a tarrasqueic park on an island off the coast of costa rica

Some kind of business partnership?

This is a really interesting thought. They could even give users the option to toggle between the old and new rules both as a playtest of the new and a market test to see how many people switch over.

You would need something bigger than Isla Nublar for a Tarrasqueic Park. May I suggest the British Isles? I reckon WotC could pick it up dirt cheap in the fire sale.
