From the ones I own I'd have to say the storm giant mini from Wizkids. Just by awesomeness of plopping it down on the table and the players freaking out.

Of the core books the DMG was definitely my favorite cover. Looking at the whole of 5e though Monsters of the Multiverse is definitely my favorite cover. With Tashs's alt coming in second.

Finally got to get back into our game after a brief hiatus due to my dad getting sick. So we finished up the first two levels of Zorzulas Rest in the Shattard Obelisk game. Everyone hit 5th level and are really starting to get powerful. We left off waiting to go see the BBEG of the dungeon...

That is a very interesting article. Thanks for pointing me to it! Sounds like the demise was a combination of a lot of issues.

I feel like 5e has a ton of lore. More lore than I could easily digest in detail, and way more lore than my players will ever learn or care about. It's in my opinion the lore is fine. I can appreciate that it might not be enough for some (or even most?). To touch on 2e for a bit. This is a...

I'm kind of right there with you. I got started in late 2e era and I was all about the Forgotten Realms. Once I figured out there was a lot settings for D&D I wanted to learn about the earliest ones.

Oh yeah, no doubt. I'm not very familiar with Mystara but you are right, it definitely has some problematic content.

This makes me wonder what the new (if they make a new one, I'm sure they will) starter set setting will be? Do yall think it will pick up from where the new DMG left off? Or do yall think they will safely set it on the Sword Coast? The possibilities! It will definitely be an exciting year(and...
