D&D 5E Full preview unlocked!

[SilverfireSage]

Not when the designers constantly say that it will have lots of optional modules to tweak the game...

You want to link me to a quote where they say that?

Ooh. Never heard of this one! Can you tell me more about it?

It's a world focused around defeating wanderers from the nearby realm of Bolton.

You are upset that the entire book is not optional rules? You said a Lot... it appears to be a lot of optional add-on stuff and stuff we dont even know about, along with traditional DMG stuff from pasts.

It's blast from the past dmg meets UA light meets modern dmg

and if it was all modular add-ons then what would they put in the Unearthed Arcana?

Sorry the Table of Contents is a /ragequit for you

You're talking about this quote, correct?

Most of the optional systems will show up in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. They focus on options that people can use to more closely mimic a specific edition or optional rules that people like having available. For instance, stuff like detailed rules for combat, gestalt characters, lingering wounds, and so forth. It feels kind of like a mash up of Unearthed Arcana for 3e and a traditional DMG.

I don't see how any of that stuff is lacking. He said most of the optional systems will show up, but he never said how many there would be. As far as we've seen, all of the things he listed later are in either the table of contents or hinted at in other previews (lingering wounds).

Don't forget the Rangers sworn to defend Queens Park

No. the 1E was Unearthed Arcana.

Arcana Unearthed was Monte Cook's variant d20 corebooks... shortly after leaving WotC.

Yeah, I knew Monte has written Arcana Unearthed as I bought Arcana Evolved (a revised and expanded version of Arcana Unearthed. I mistakenly thought the 1E optional rulebook was also called Arcana Unearthed (instead of Unearthed Arcana).

Cheers for the responses all!

I had similar expectations of the DMG to Derren, which was based on comments from Mearls. However, I'm holding off on judgement until I see the DMG in person.

 

[Zaukrie]

Right...that's why I said appears. I won't actually judge it until we see it. But this was a thread about the ToC

Also, you left Eberron off the list.

Heh, sounds like fun, but that was autocorrect raking my thumb spelling of Ebereon to task...all my posts are phone types.
