Message: <blockquote data-quote="gyor" data-source="post: 7468764" data-attributes="member: 6670153">It appears to be the year of the Urbanite in D&D,  Sharn in Eberron, Waterdeep in FR, and Ravnica. <a href="https://youtu.be/_95EaQMvPmA" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/_95EaQMvPmA</a>[video=youtube_share;_95EaQMvPmA]https://youtu.be/_95EaQMvPmA[/video] It sounds like between these books (and even MTOF explored the Githyanki Capital City),  there will be not only setting details,  but tools for City adventures that can be used in any city/urban environment.  Also for those that worried that the MtG elements would be forced into a D&D Ravnica is a D&D setting first and fore. Most targeted to D&D fans,  they'd love it if it attracted MtG fans to D&D,  but the priority appears to be that it fit easily into D&D while retaining story and thematic elements. What this means in practice is their is no references to colours or make in the book,  Jeremy had Wyatt remove all those references from the book because he felt it was a confusing,  not useful metalense/metastructure that wasn't really useful at the level of PCs.  So this book is more Ravnica crystal sphere in the D&D multiverse,  then a complete fusion of the MtG Multiverse and the D&D multiverse. So again this is a D&D book first. Pure speculation on my part now,  but I guess that means they made space for D&D classes and races in the books,  so PHB,  MTOFs,  VGTM,  XGTE,  SCAG will all be usable with the book.  Also one of the big reasons they picked Ravnica was simply because it's next up on the MtG (card game)  schedule.  It sounded like the classes the book refers to are subclasses,  not full classes,  which makes sense. Also we have been getting UA articles for Ravnica for awhile now, Domain of Order for the Cleric,  Spore Druid as some speculated here,  maybe some others,  Minataurs and Centaurs for races obviously. Not everything in the book has been UA tested yet.  Guilds have allies,  suggested classes and races,  and so on.  Eberron Dragon Marks being subraces with a supporting feats and background is something I'm not sure what to do with yet,  are these subraces race restricted,  because that combines weirdly with anything that has subraces already,  like Tieflings,  Elves, Dwarves,  Gnomes,  Gith, Half Elves,  Changelings, Genasi,  Aasimar,  and Warforged. Fluff wise how does that even work,  like are you really a High/Dark/Wild/Shadar Kai/Eladarin/Sea Elf in appearance, but you use a Dragonmark subrace mechanics instead of your usual subrace? Because that could mean Sea Elf and Water Genasi that drown instead of breathing water for example.  I think from the way Keith talked about the Envoy Warforged,  it's new to 5e. I like it.  Wayfarer's guide simply isn't just a retread of previous Eberron Books from other editions, it focuses more on the personal IC stuff then history and geography.</blockquote>
