It's art, there are few things as subjective- calling it good or bad is going to be an opinion. I think any art on the cover of the new PHB would trigger discussion.

Wait, I thought the dragon was watching them, not fighting them. It's a gold dragon specifically- sure they party CAN come up against a gold dragon, but if they're confronting a dozen kobolds and THEN an adult gold dragon? ... Probably trouble. I guess the dragon is also/instead kind of looking...

I think some folk can forget that not everyone on the internet is the same person. You see a bunch of people hating on "new blue" on a subreddit/forum/etc, saying that they miss "classic blue." Then when they bring back classic blue, a bunch of folk in the forums hate on that! But those probably...

I'm not a Greyhawk fanatic, though I like a number of interesting wonky parts of it. I was just trying to put myself in other folks' shoes 🤷‍♂️

Like I said, there were suggestions for how new things could fit in. But they weren't automatically assumed to be added- it was an option to add it to the established setting.

I use psionics for NPCs and monsters in my 5e games... Usually to make them "alien" or strange because they're largely not abilities the PCs have. I like it where it fits, like eberrons kalashtar, but I don't like just any character having access to it. For players, I would also like it to be...

I love fresh ideas- to me, the question is if there is a need that these are filling. For instance, A5e has Confused. Fantastic. There are plenty of things that caused a confusion-like effect, it makes sense that it'd be a condition. I think it would help if you provided a descriptive example...

I'd recommend against doing a sandbox at high level unless it's a premade adventure. Basically, at high levels the characters (mostly spellcasters) can start covering a lot of ground, very quickly. They can get answers to things very quickly. They can hit a lot of things that you're either not...

I imagine some test combats would be important for people to learn their characters' features. On the GM side, be prepared for a higher mental load. There's gonna be more stuff you need to keep running in your head from all angles. Expect combat to take longer. How much longer depends on a...

I think some fans want to avoid having their favorite setting become another "kitchen sink" where everything that WotC sells is put into it canonically. Some settings exclude certain player options to help them feel more "special," or even just to fit the theme. My favorite way of doing this...

Any changes etc that you have to make using those rules for 5e?

Found the tweet in question: https://x.com/vyderac/status/1790578547628658777

Funny how different people feel about this, but this is both art AND fandom so folks are gonna be quite opinionated about it. Ben Milton of Questing Beast posted something pretty critical of it 😆

Same, I've backed all the MCDM stuff- I adore their art direction (especially Arcadia, wow) and I really enjoyed a lot of S&F and K&W. The FM! monsters are a little over-designed IMO. "Best Monster Book" so far goes to Monstrous Menagerie for me- that's how I got brought into A5e 😂 That isn't to...

Based on the reactions in this thread, Greyhawk fits into the new edition by selling books people may not have otherwise bought 😆

Can you elaborate on expecting WotC to carefully vet these settings?

Where's the Cavalier??

13th Age is explicitly HEROIC fantasy. The characters start as powerful heroes. The system provides ways to make them slice through multiple foes with a single attack. It's basically what MCDM RPG set out to do with their system, but I didn't really know how to describe 13A until MCDM stated...

Oh sure! I get that. I'm curious if you have an opinion on the situation though, if you'd care to share :) You run games in the same setting, say homebrew or greyhawk or FR, whatever. You finish a campaign using 5e, where mtn dwarves aren't fire resistant. you start a new campaign/adventure...
