Hmm, no racial vampires. Disappointing. I guess I need to look through what's available at DM's Guild.

I hope that Life in the Domains of Dread listing does does heavy lifting and gives us a good-aligned religion for the natives and some information on languages. Each domain having its own language seems unworkable but for some of us, it'll be a little silly to have everyone just speaking Common instead.

Doing varying levels of archaic Common is an easy trick.

Oh I'd love to know more about those two new subclasses

They've probably changed somewhat since the Unearthed Arcana, but probably not significantly.

So maybe I missed some lore, and I have not run Curse of Strahd, but why wouldn't Azalin be the lord of Darkon anymore? Always has been one of more favorite characters.

They're likely either reversing time to when he blew himself up in trying to escape (he got better), or they're saying he blew himself up again, or the Dark Powers got tired of him and/or decided other people in Darkon were eviler.

Must be nice to get the books for free AND unique stuff like the Ouija board box.

I’m hoping the fear and stress mechanics are good. The fear mechanic in the DMG wasn’t great. Here’s to hoping stress is something like Call of Cthulhu’s Sanity and/or Darkest Dungeon’s stress mechanic. That would be tasty.

Looks like they're keeping his "death" in the REQUIEM boxed set cannon while ignoring his return in the 3rd Ed books.

I find it interesting that neither Invidia nor Nova Vaasa are mainstream domains anymore.

And the brought the Nightmare Lands back. I wonder what they're going to do about the Abber nomads.

Well yes, of course. UA is UA. Sometimes things change quite a bit in the final version.
