Bring back à la cart to the D&D beyond marketplace. It was really nice seeing all the usable content itemized not just the amount of each thing (new classes, species items, and spells) available in that book separate from the compendium. It really helped deciding if I wanted to buy the book or not as a player. Where a DM would be interested in the monsters available in that book. Especially if the book is just a campaign setting that they wouldn’t necessarily want to run/play.

On the other hand, I definitely get where you are coming from. That kind of change to a creature who has been at the core of the game for 50 years in all of the production art sets the tone for what people expect.

Got my basic set of D&D for Christmas 1980. This was the set with the famous "Keep on the Borderlands" adventure! It's hard to imagine that so much time has gone by and that so many versions have been printed. Looking forward to the new rules. Hoping my wish list gets some answers... better range of weapons... like an actual 1-handed sword (the old broadsword)... that represents the most common sword created in the middle ages... like a Viking sword, or a Crusaders / Knights sword. (NOT a short sword) There have been ongoing arguments of "what is a bastard sword vs what is a long sword" IS a longsword in D&D actually the Bastard Sword from history? I hope there is a return of Master Craft gear. I hope there is a return of more materials and metals for weapons and armor. What are the rules for Siege engines? Trebuchet's, catapults, scorpions, ballista... Can you substitute "Siege Engines" for "Land Vehicle" if you have a military background? Do you use Dex for attacking with a trebuchet? Or do you use wisdom or Intelligence? A massive engine doesn't really rely on agility... Are you disadvantage if you aren't skilled with siege engines? I'm glad there are rules for buildings and construction cost. In many low-magic settings... you don't have a "magic item super center" to spend your piles of gold. So players end up wanting to buy property, or a wizard tower, or a private keep. I've had to wing it or looked to 3rd party sources to come up with costs to buy/build a roadside inn... tower, or a small keep... I can't wait to dive into the bastions rules!

I REALLY wish they would add a chapter into the DMG or a separate book down the road that is specifically for props to use during gameplay. I feel there is a massive enabler there they are missing out on to help DM's use props, both made with simple household or dollar store items or more elaborate 3D printable items, which not only feeds in-person experiences, but also could be a good market for WotC such as STL files you could purchase on DnD Beyond. When you talk about enhancing an experience, simple things like parchment paper or a D&D elven or dwarven fonts, the infamous reusable glass/plastic tubes with D4's in them for potions or printable trap/puzzle boxes that go with a specific adventure, really makes the game immersive and fun. In a world with everything digital, keeping a connection to tangible items brings things back to the table.

I wondered this too. I own the digital 2014 PHB and I want to buy and check out the new version but I’m in an online campaign where we aren’t switching to the new rules (at least not right away) so I need just the 2014 rules to apply to that character in dndbeyond.

What about the roleplay features from pre-2024 backgrounds, like having three commoner retainers who fetch wine or shine your armor from the old knight background, or entertainer letting you perform at places for food and stay? And what about custom background?

It’s interesting to watch the handbook shift from prescriptive to descriptive in some ways. Rather than setting rules, they are now describing how the game has been played for years, sometimes in spite of the rules.

This has me really excited for the new 2024 edition rule books. My only play experience with DnD is through BG3, which I loved, & now I'm getting into painting minis (as I await the new PHB, DMG, & MM). The art & overall project's awesome, & I'm looking forward to reading these I hope y'all make more games like BG3. DnD seems like such a well-constructed universe... &, with all that World Building, so much is possible. I'd love to see games, like BG3, that let you take your character to level 20 & feel like you've got as open a world to experience as WoW (but still feature offline modes & are console-friendly). There could even be real-time versions too

Even though I’m not super super stoked about 5.5 because it’s pretty much just a revamp of fifth edition with nothing super significant that we’ve seen so far, here’s to hoping that I am greatly mistaken, and they completely blow my mind with the new stuff today. I still love dungeons and dragons. It was the first system I ever played back in the Mid90s when I was a teenager and I will always have a special place for dungeons and dragons on my role-play shelf. However, the system is definitely getting really really boring at this point lol for me at least. But I hope that everyone that still enjoys it gets to enjoy it and has many many great adventures for the years to come, here’s another 50 years of dungeons and dragons.

I think it will blow your mind. The changes are pretty significant in areas in which change was sorely needed.

I disagree. The fighter will be so different and "fresh" that players will not want to play the old version. Also, i suspect many of the species (previously "races") will be different as well and the players will want to play these. This is a different version of 5th.

Strength for perception might be related to something like “Scent” where you try to take a deep breath to smell what might be around you. Also constitution option in the same vein. For dexterity perception I would imagine something along the lines of a “sixth sense” or “Spider Sense” or Will’s goose bumps from Stranger Things where your body senses something off in the environment

The alternative art covers are usually only available at your friendly local game store. Meaning you may need to shop around your area to order one. They are often posted on that one marketplace site as well at a markup from third party sellers. Best bet is to find a local game store. The alt covers may not be available for pre-order yet.

Remember that not all of the 2024 Core Rulebooks are coming out in 2024 so I see that phrasing becoming difficult over time.
