[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 9727409, member: 7028579"] So, a little. But part of the drag is having Icewind Dale and Baulder’s Gate of two out of 5. Both have been done recently in campaign books so feels like filler. Maybe they want the chance for do over, and ofc Baulder’s Gate has a reason, but 2 of 5 are not new stuff (even if what they do is new stuff, has been done). So that’s a waste to me. Excited about the other three. But excited because I loved SCAG. For as much hate as it gets, it’s awesome if it’s your intro to the Sword Coast. It’s less good if you own all the old much more specific and detailed FR setting books and had 30 years in on setting books and novels. So, that’s also a drag on enthusiasm for me, how impossible it will be to please FR obsessed people, so people I like will hate on it, and bum me out. I’m excited for new parts of FR getting 5e opened. It’s gonna be pretty vague, as is WOTCs plan with settings now. They very much like to present possibilities rather than say, 10,457 people live in this city. They more, could have 10k or 500 depending on how you’d like to play it. I think some cool people will put out some great adventures on DMs Guild following release of these books. I’m very curious, but I think the reveal will be pretty middling. Give 0 care if player options are good or not. And frankly, what is a good new subclass? SCAG’s were nice, themed okish, but not exactly OP, but, are OP options good? [/QUOTE]
