I'm not like a crazy druid superfan, but I can't help but notice that we haven't seen any playtest for new druid subclasses. Unless I'm missing something? I DM for my library and I have several kids that are foaming at the mouth waiting for a new druid subclass (especially wildfire).
Having more Druid options wouldn’t necessarily make more people want to play Druid.
Having fun to play Druid options would. I don't know if you have access to the Crooked moon Druids published on dndb, but that's how you make fun to play Druids.
Honestly I find it weird that druids aren't more popular. d8 health, solid armor, an awesome and versatile spell list, versatile shape shifting. One of the most versatile classes in the game to me. Maybe it is just people want more specialized or something?
2014 druid was a huge turnoff, and I think it likely that word about how much the 2024 druid has fixed may just not be out. The metal armor thing was problematic; you CAN, but you CHOOSE not to was both stupid and annoying. Also, shape shifting is not everyone's cup of tea, and 2014 was heavy into shape shifting. If you didn't like shapeshifting, 2014 druid was a hard sell. Those problems have all been fixed, but "druid sucks" is probably burned into people's heads now and they're not being given a reasonable chance.

Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
Yes. There is a series of "Druids are Awesome" videos on YouTube by Enter the Dungeon. He, too, is a druid fan and he goes on a tear about all the great things about Druids. They are really versatile, healing, scouting, area damage, control, and support.

Hey all,
I'm not like a crazy druid superfan, but I can't help but notice that we haven't seen any playtest for new druid subclasses. Unless I'm missing something? I DM for my library and I have several kids that are foaming at the mouth waiting for a new druid subclass (especially wildfire).
Does anyone know why this is???
No one knows, but I will assume it’s because Druids are the one of the least played classes
That should have made them a priority, to be honest.
Having more Druid options wouldn’t necessarily make more people want to play Druid.

What someone considers fun is extremely subjective. The people who already play Druids will tell y/ou they are fun.
I play Druids. My first Druid was in 2nd. What's wrong with wanting more people to enjoy the class?

More subclasses doesn’t mean more people will like Druids.
