Ironically a game I play in, just left the Forgotten Realms because there is to much lore for a new player to learn.
Greyhawk has a dark and gritty feel. Forgotten Realms is the high magic setting. 5e really pushed the high magic angle, and 5.24e is doubling down on that playstyle. I have always preferred lower magic, higher danger and deadliness. But the players seem to lean towards easy mode. Then again I always preferred EQ over WoW for the same reasons.
Sorry for the multiple posts, just wanted to share some art from the DMG that I saw else where.
Really triggering my nostalgia there. I know the cartoon was always built on the hope of the kids going home but middle age me is finding it strangely comforting that they're still out there being heroes
I thought I was the only one who forgot the TV show existed. Guess not.
Greyhawk is going to be a very welcome addition in my book! Sorry if this has been asked before - do we know if the Death Domain is getting added to this book?
Nothing I have seen so far is indicative of any additional subclasses or domains.
As the Death Domain was not included in the 2024 book, it should be possible to use it (adjusting for when certain abilities are gained) from the 2014 books.

No way of telling. The DDB staff work on Pacific Standard Time so it'll be some point during office hours there but whether they hit the switch as soon as they get in or later in the day depends on factors we've no way of knowing
Hi, my 2024 DMG was cancelled last week, order number DDB00382696. I paid in full during the preorder, and then DnD Beyond tried charging me again, then cancelled the physical part of my order. Will I get a refund of $49.99 that I already paid, or is there a way to get this fixed?

It's too bad they didn't showcase the new Monk magic items.

Can confirm, Death Domain is still available in the builder under 2024 class. On that note, so is Oathbreaker.
That's what I was figuring, didn't know if there were any changes that they wanted to do to the domain to refresh it a bit for 2024. Thank you!
Kick down the door!
I can't find the release schedule, when does the DMG2024 become available digitally for Master Level preorders?
I believe the 29th like the FLGS book release.
She/Her College Student Player and Dungeon Master
Yep. It states on the Marketplace page that it's available 2 weeks early for Master tier.
That's only FOUR DAYS!
