Every day I find myself more and more distanced from D&D

Every day I find myself more and more distanced from D&D

Why?

 

[Neal Freeman]

Especially ones who actually know how to play stringed instruments.

They might at least have tuned it

 

[Neal Freeman]

Why?

OK someone bit! Because the kind of game I want to play is gritty and dark, does not rely on being a Catford or a Turtlefolk or a Hedgehogfolk or whatever is the latest thing, and because they have removed all jeopardy from the game and replaced it with a kind of My Little Pony version. I don't say these things are bad, it's just not the game I want to play.

An adventure and not a supplement on the Feywild?
Nice to know Chris Perkins had a hand in this, now any idea why they didn't consider a book on both the Feywild and the Shadowfell?
Still leaves those two classic settings I keep hearing about being hinted at.
I assume news about them will turn up eventually?
Pre-order something when I have the Pathfinder equivalent already?
"That" might be set in Falcons Hollow and not the Feywild, but it still holds up from my point of view.
Hope this release is much better though!

I don't know about hedgehogfolk, but catfolk and turtlefolk have been in the game since the 80s.

Tabaxi and Tortle I believe they're called now aren't they?

 

[wicked cool]

is the person in the video a wotc developer?

No, she's a Girls, Guts, Glory D&D social media star, and now clearly a surrogate for WotC (for good reason).

From WotC's page on the book:

June 7-11: Week of Legend Lore
Check the D&D website for more news and announcements rolling out all week—starting Monday, June 7 with this first look at The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, D&D's next campaign storyline!

All this week, join Ellywick Tumblestrum, bard of the multiverse, guest of the Summer Queen, and bearer of Morningmist, as she investigates several stories from Earth artifacts and spells such as the Tube of Yous and the Box of Xes. Played by Erika Fermina from Girls, Guts, Glory, Ellywick is a fascinating character fans will learn more about in upcoming stories from Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering's Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, and more!

Lastly it's mentioned in stories so she is likely a key character in AFRs fiction.

She's pretty much the OC for AFRS probably. So far she's checking off all the boxes for that by being THE Bard of the Multiverse, has clout(guest) with Titania(Summer Queen?) AND has a legendary item in the form of Morningmist.
