D&D (2024) Firearms to be made a fixed part of the game, new Weapons Rules

My biggest problem with Spelljammer is that it wasn't really a good setting book. If I wanted to run the adventure that came in the box that's great, but as far as a setting goes? Not so great.

Honestly it wasn't a good adventure euther I hate adventures that railroad characters into committing an atrocity, its why I only bought descent into Avernus for the Baldur Gate Gazette and Lulu's stats too.

We've known that they were planning it to be a Spelljammer-style slipcase for a while now. And apparently the page count has actually been bumped up to 96 pages for the gazetteer and adventure books, with a 64-page bestiary.

We'll have to wait and see if 5e Planescape will be good, or even "good enough", but they seem to have taken the criticism of Spelljammer to heart, at least to some degree - Spelljammer's biggest problem was page count (and too many pages eaten up by different ship models), and they're addressing that.

Oh I assumed that it was the beastiary that was bumped to 96 pages, which would have been a better use of space then bumping the adventure (hopefully they do better then the last adventure spelljammer had). Maybe Sigil will be detailed in the adventure so it doesn't eat most of the space in the gazetter.

Eberron doesn't have firearms for similar reasons why the startrek ships are lacking in black powder cannons & fails to equip crewmembers with muskets or tommyguns when sending them on away missions.

Disappointing Aasimar & Genasi won't end up in the PHB, but some how Goliaths do? Like Stone Goliaths are an after thought in the lore of FR, Nerath, and Eberron, and basically don't even have lore in any other setting, and the other Goliaths don't have lore period.

Aasimar and Genasi have a huge plac the lore and stories, much bigger in comparsion to Goliaths.

Also Monk and Fighter confirmed basically for next UA, but Sorcerer and Warlock will also be unveiled soon, are they also coming in the next UA?

There goes any interest I had in Planescape.

Its bigger then that, like 2 96 page books and a 64 page book.

Sounds like they said in the Creator Summit six classes will be in the next package

Also all Sorcerers will get Chaos bolt at level 1, does that mean all Sorcerers are Wild Sorcerers now as Choas bolts origins are the 4e Wild Sorcerer?

Well they did suggest that the packets would be bigger now, but by monthly I guess.

Sorcerer, Warlock, Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, and Wizard actually puts the rest if the classes out there which I think is a good thing.
