D&D 5E (2014) Book of Many Things pre order up.

[mamba]

It seems like this is 5e's first big magic items book.

50 items, not really big, similar to the number in Xanathars, but sure, more focused on that than anything else WotC did

Hmm. This has moved from a must-buy to a "depends on the reviews" purchase. I was hoping for a lot more PC facing options. It will really depend on what the DM facing stuff is.

I always had this under ‘why bother’, but it seems to be underwhelming even for that

Was never a book for me, but hey, if it is for (the general) you, great

 

[mamba]

They've been very clear about what this book was all along. Why did no one believe them?

I did, which is why it never interested me

"Whimsy." Eww.

This made me snort-laugh.

As we all know, D&D is Serious Business.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go explain to my players, again, why their 1st level turtle-man bard can't seduce the Queen. Even on a nat-20 roll.

Yes, yes you do.

that sounds like it belongs in the ‘player agency’ thread

Yes, yes you do.

DM: "Look, she's just not that into you."

Bards everywhere:

Looks I was wrong about it being more like Tasha's, it's for sure a DM facing book.

The question then is: is there significant value in this for a DM who doesn’t otherwise care about and has never bothered using the Deck?

I suspect we won't know until after Phandelver is out and the hype machine gears up. I'm expecting a lot of adventure locations related to the deck.
