Can't to see how far down the hole modern Dragonlance goes.

Sad thing is im so hard up for new Dragonlance material I'll probably still buy it.

If they don’t open with “Spelljammer confirmed” I’ll be disappointed.

If they want to copy all the cool kids who have been doing directs for years, they they will leave that to the end. Give all the more niche and less interesting announcements first and make you wait.

Live now. Waiting.

Hey! I'm in voice chat on discord if anyone is interested.

 

[Von Ether]

If they don’t open with “Spelljammer confirmed” I’ll be disappointed.

Even if they finish that sentence with, "Not really, but we couldn't resist," that would be the best.

I switched to a local voice chat discord

 

[Mercurius]

If they don't explain the "new format" thing, I'm going to throw a hissy fit.

Not really, but...

 

[darjr]

On both YouTube and Twitch, 10ish minutes till and this many people waiting. 5000+

 

[Thaumaturge]

Trippy intro.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

I was wondering what that listing for Darkspell Greyscape was on Amazon...

Now I have a in mind a setting called Under a Dark-Grey Spellscape where players adventure in a word where physics was shredded by a magic apocalypse until the horizon has no end and no beginning, where up is down and the world has lost its color. Navigating through clouds made of atomized planes, the characters war against living spells and anti-matter liches!
