Eh, that's not too huge of a retcon, as their origins were always shadowy and uncertain previously. Them being mindless hordes of minor demons instead of mindless hordes of humanoids isn't a big difference in the end.

Anything else of interest? Maybe a screenshot of the stat block? And ditto for leprechauns.

Here's the gibberlings and the leprechaun!

Thank you! I very much like that there's a Swarm of Gibberlings stat block. That makes perfect sense given how their behavior has been traditionally described.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the maps - good, bad and ugly. Also, Lost Caverns...does it touch on Tharizdun? I might have more, but there's a start...

At first blush, the maps are great. This book uses the more detailed, full color approach, the Lost City maps for the first 5 Levels (the original Adventure proper) are pretty exact in the dimensions, but Expedition to the Barrier Peaks has some big redesigns at first blush.

I will say that the maps for Barrier Peaks are the most original and different in presentation of any maps released for 5E, bat none.

No Tharizdun mention at a quick scan.

That's really good to hear about the maps. While I love Dyson Logos' maps, my preference is full colored and more detailed maps for this collection.

Not surprised by the changes they made for the Barrier Peak maps, which were kind of a mess to begin with. In Goodman's update, they spent a fair amount of text explaining the fixes they had to do to make them consistent with the room descriptions and numbering. Throw in how massive and empty some areas were and they were ripe for a revision. Glad they did it.

And while a little disappointed, not surprised there's no mention of the elder one. Still plan on picking this up over the weekend.

Thanks!

Could you show a picture of a lost city map. Also do we get the empty maps for the bottom five levels?

Odd? I thought the pre-order would be there on dndbeyond?

It’s only if you get the Digital/Physical bundle. It’s not changing to subscribers getting EA until the new PHB.

ah, thanks.....I'm buying books from the FLGS now. I could have sworn that I saw otherwise.....most likely I was thinking about seeing both.
