The Wild Beyond the Witchlight: An In-Depth Review

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight isn't just Wizards of the Coast's latest Dungeons & Dragons adventure. It's the first official, full-length adventure from WotC set in the Feywild. While often mentioned, the counterpart to the Shadowfell has gotten much less attention through the editions...

From Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos:

The idea that Harry Potter is new fangled to me is somewhat strange. I'm 37. The first book came out when I was in middle school. Not saying it has to be your bag, but it's not really all that new. I mean the actors that played the kids are all in their 30s.

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD!!!!

Is it troublesome and offensive if I say this looks like utter poo?

I so miss when D&D was darker and more Tolkien-inspired. Now it's Harry Potter, but as an anime.
Makes sense however, since the majority of D&D players in general either choose to play as their favorite anime character or as their idealized waifu/husbando.

Are we not yet past the one-true-way perspective? They literally just released a Ravenloft setting guide a few months ago that's as "dark" as you can get without making something R-rated. If Strixhaven isn't to your taste, COOL DON'T BUY IT. Stick with the stuff you like, make up your own setting, do whatever. It benefits no one to denigrate products just because they don't fit into your narrow aperture of preference.

Though I started playing in the early 1980's, it always tickles me whenever a grognard thunderously proclaims "By the brazen beard of Gary Gygax, things were better then!!" and a fresh new gamer innocently replies, "Who?"

STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD!!!!

I was only 6 when the last Harry Potter book came out. I've grown up with Harry Potter being a huge thing. It's older than I am.

I was 10 when the first movie came out, and almost 11 when I read the book. That made the series even more magical to me, because I grew up with the characters (If I remember correctly the newest book to come out at the time was 4). I hoped for a letter as a kid, became a teenager with them...

Sadly the writer ruined the franchise for me as an adult :/

Dang whipper snappers.

I grew up with the later half of the movies, not so much the first half (I was only 6 weeks old when the first movie came out).

I also agree with the last sentence. It's sad, but I was never a huge Harry Potter fan. My younger sister is, though.

Okay, now you are a toddler in my mind...

You got to learn how to compartmentalize.

Not trying to make this thread about this topic, but it's really hard for me to do that about this particular franchise. It's a world I really loved, being created by (and giving profit to) a person with beliefs absolutelly oposite from mine, who I believe does real damage to society. I can't forget that while reading/watching the story.
