D&D 5E (2014) Companion thread to 5E Survivor - Sourcebooks & Campaign Settings

Without Tasha's we'd be out of choices deserving upvotes.

Luckily, there's still one book deserving downvotes to balance this out.

Yay, Eberron is dead! Now on to downvoting Monsters of the Multiverse!

When this contest started, there were 14 items on the list: 6 of them were 'splatbooks' like Volo's and Xanathar's, and the rest--almost two-thirds!--were campaign settings/sourcebooks. Now after just ten days, every single campaign setting has been eliminated compared to only one splatbook (Fizban's).

'campaign setting' is a very generous use of the term though, and I imagine that had something to do with most of those casualties.

I'm shocked Tasha's is doing so well though.

My prediction: Tasha's will be the next targeted elimination now that Eberron is out. It's the better product, but it's not new enough to have the fan support that Xanathar's has. I expect lots of people will be cheering for that beholder.

I only down votes Eberron because I know nothing about it and have no ties to it. Sad to see Wildmount go. I agree Tasha’s was a turning point, one I wasn't enthusiastic about but seems to becoming standard for ASIs and such.

Close.

It's not the better product.

Is anyone really surprised it has come down to Tasha's and Xanathar's?

They are more options books and players books over part setting books or just a setting here the DM would likely buy it over players.

I'm honestly surprised to see Tasha's make it this far--I figured it would be eliminated right after Eberron, since downvotes are worth twice as much as upvotes. I guess there's not as much Tasha-hate as I had been led to believe.
