You don't need tools to play without combat. You just have to say "today I will not hit the goblin with the sword."

This sounds like an anger management affirmation for adventurers.

"Today, I will venture into the dungeon. And today, I will not hit the goblin with my sword. I will listen to the goblin, I will understand the goblin. The goblin and I are the same."

There's more rules for combat because while I can talk to the DM without issue, they usually get mad if I start swinging a sword at them.

WotC really can't win.

People have complained for quite a while that the other two pillars - exploration and social - don't get enough loving in published products. That the game as presented is really combat heavy. And, really, that's not an unreasonable criticism. Most of the modules are very combat heavy, the supplements are chock full of new ways to kill stuff or new stuff to kill.

Yeah, we've gotten some stuff like the ship rules in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, but, again, those rules were about ship COMBAT, and not a whole lot on how to actually run a ship, crew, and whatnot with a ship in the game.

So, WotC listens to the fandom and starts coming out with some stuff that isn't quite so combat focused. Strixhaven, Candlekeep, and now this.

And people endlessly jump into every thread to bitch about how the game is all fluffy and if you don't want combat why are you playing D&D?

It worked for Luke Skywalker and his goblin friend.

The worst enemy for D&D's growth has always been D&D fans.

Mostly it's different people complaining about different things tho. Wizards wins when they correctly figure out who they should be listening to and who they shouldn't when making successful products.

So far Wizards is mostly winning in that sense I think.

NPC based on Guy Fieri incoming. It's happening.

I have a PC in my game, a fire genasi using Sam Grierson's Cook Class. His name is Guy Fieri.

Intrigued by the southern inspired adventure being from Mississippi and all. They specifically shout out New Orleans and Biloxi.
