I was hoping for Eldraine, but I will definitely take Strixhaven.

When it comes to another MtG crossover settings book, this is my exact same thought as well. I'll take either or! Even both if it meant that one becomes a book and another just ends up being a revived 2021 Planeshift series of articles.

Planeshift doesn't seem to be something they are doing moving forwards?

I would love for Magic Books to become a ranged weapon option ala Crossbows/Guns!

I never said I was smart when it came to hoping for things.

It'd be a lot easier to just give them a non-magical version of the Jump spell.

The jumping rules are a bit of a mess at the best of times, and the Jump spells only really makes them worse. I think the intent here is to effectively add an unpredictable amount of speed to rabbitfolk PCs, with the additional flavour of that speed being jumping distance - while engaging as little as possible with the messy jumping rules. But the d12 just introduces more messiness, in my opinion. Not sure what a neat alternative is though - extra distance of d2 x 5ft or d3 x 5ft seems obvious, but 5e doesn't like anything smaller than d4s very much, and d4 x 5ft makes this the fastest PC race i can immediately think of, and not by a small margin.

Honestly I think the "Hobgoblin" in this should be renamed/reflavored as Boggart.

I think that I still prefer Walrock Homebrews's Faeries to the Fairy in this article.

The weirdness around the naming there is one of the biggest red flags that they are dancing around what they are really doing here.

Honestly that should be in there in place of the "Hognoblin."
