D&D 5E (2024) Purple Dragon Knight as a background?

[bedir than]

Well at least one of them said they were leaving because they just finished and launched the 2024 core rulebooks.

I doubt either of them are credited on either of the new Forgotten Reams rulebooks and I don't think either of them are heavily involved in it. Also, I believe Crawford was responsible for rules, not creative content.

Each product is on about a two year path.
Crawford was the leader of rules, like the UA program, until he left.
The people currently there (like James Wyatt) and the people formerly there aren't young and were a major part of the game for decades.

Is it Jeremy Crawford or Chris Perkins that you think didn't know the lore?

No but look at the credits lately. They're not the ones writing this. And they left before it was finished. Losing them worries me more than anything else.

How about an "Don't know, Don't care" option. Also, I would like to see the results even if I do not care about the topic that much.

Faction in all honesty.

Cormyr should be wiped of the map and become the ruined lair of an Amethyst dragon, with the remnants of the population forced to become the dragon's services and soldiers. The PDK background is for those that were raised to be one of these soldiers.

I still don't think either of them was heavily involved. We will see in a couple months.

Actually yes, the 8 factions in the books are all getting backgrounds. Harper’s, Emerald Enclave, Zents, even the Cult of the Dragon and the Red Wizards.

Well if they do it for other factions then it is a fine idea. If not then no.
