D&D 5E UA Kobold & Hobgoblin: Possibly for a Forgotten Realms Setting Book

[Henadic Theologian]

You consider 4 pages of material on an entire country a "deep dive" of that country...?

Okay.

By the standards of a FR campaign setting book, I'm comparing it to the SCAG were most got a paragraphy or two at best.

Fingers crossed that the Jabberwock makes it into Witchlight.

As they are going on about it in detail in this interview, I would say it's highly likely...

Funny, D&D taking a lot of inspiration from Pathfinder...

Based on reading the AD&D description, I think both are borrowing from AD&D with the Jabberwock here, though I have no doubt that WotC is aware of this design (note the plummagein the 5E version, however, followign the AD&D description).

They're both doing John Tenniel's 1871 illustration, minus the waistcoat.

Now put the snark in Witchlight, you cowards!

One of the leaked pictures for Witchlight showed a greenish guy with a shovel, I believe. Maybe that's the hobgoblin?

I'm leaning towards the Domains of Delight book, though. If only because it sounds really cool.

I appreciate that they made it look a lot like John Tenniel's original artwork. Minus the vest and booties, of course.

I mean, the jabberwock is from a beloved book that's in the public domain, so it's hardly copying from Pathfinder. Heck, the same poem gave us the vorpal sword!
