Honestly in practice the faction system was a waste of space that could have gone to more lore or character options (like a Purple Dragon Knight Dragon Rider Feat).

Oh, I think that will see a lotnofnuse at tables. Just interesting that AL is not using it, since in 2014 thwt was abig AL push.

Disagree there the faction stuff is pretty cool to me.

Hard disagree. The Faction system is the thing my players are most excited to try in our next campaign.

And once again we see diametrically opposed views on what is useful in a D&D book. I am somewhat interested in the faction system and may use it in the background to track relationships with major players in a new campaign.
More character options are all to the good but I would not have wanted more lore.

I agree more options is always nice. But not at the expense of the Renown and Factions system, which is more player options and in ways that tie to the campaign directly.

I hope the way Renown and Factions are presented here are the standard for Setting books going forward. I’m happy to see they are at least coming back for Eberron, based on the Table of Contents.

I have an upcoming convention with a couple of these games offered. I have been trying to look at any official information and not seeing much. There is this LegensofGreyhawk site saying that they are the official site and some stuff on DDBeyond tying in and whatnot. The players guide does not have much.

I'm basically seeing the regular Adventure League (AL) but you start at 1st level and you could die. You also get less magic over play. It seems that all the books are legal to make a Pc. I would be only using the PHB, so I'm not seeing any changes that I know of that I'm missing.

Does anyone know more about any big changes I'm not seeing?
