Greyhawk DMG 2024

Nope. No. No way. NOT happ'nin'. Talk about breaking the immersion.

While I know, no one really cares about WotC's game, I find this news to be a bit telling. Perkins and Crawford were avid supporters and essentially the faces of the latest edition before the books started hitting the shelves, extremely enthusiastic. That fact that both of them have now left the company, speaks for itself. After Mike Mearls, these two were really the only ones that were there when the game changed hands from TSR. The current, remaining staff behind the creative direction (and I use that term loosely) of the newest edition are going to be essentially new blood, part of the new generation of "D&D" players. In my personal opinion, to paraphrase Spock, "It's dead Jim."

The Dungeon Delver

Yikes! This is why rulings over rules is so important!
I’ve definitely made some mistakes, and when that’s pointed out after I never mind changing things in the future. Sometimes not even. I think good example is spiritual hammer, I made it a to hit. When my buddy pointed out that it was a ST after, we decided just to continue to roll with a TH roll. As long as it’s fun who cares.
Being out of the game searching through books is no fun, unless you are Gandalf. And even he did that crapola off screen.

Not Greyhawk but it's been a while since I pointed out something WotC has ruined, so here it is.
Welcome to the new Ravenloft.
I think it speaks for itself.

Five strangers armed with steel and magic awaken in a mist-shrouded land, with no memory of how they arrived: Rotrog, a prideful orcish wizard; Chivarion, a sardonic drow barbarian; Alishai, an embittered tiefling paladin; Kah, a skittish kenku cleric; and Fielle, a sunny human artificer.

After they barely survive a nightmarish welcome to the realm of Barovia, a carriage arrives bearing an invitation:

Fairest Friends,

I pray you accept my humble Hospitality and dine with me tonight at Castle Ravenloft. It is rare we receive Visitors, and I do so Endeavor to Make your Acquaintance. The Carriage shall bear you to the Castle safely, and I await your Arrival with Pleasure.

Your host,
Strahd von Zarovich

With no alternative, and determined to find their way home, the strangers accept the summons and travel to the forbidding manor of the mysterious count. But all is not well at Castle Ravenloft. To survive the twisted enigmas of Strahd and his haunted home, the adventurers must confront the dark secrets in their own hearts and find a way to shift from strangers to comrades—before the mists of Barovia claim them forever.

Nothing says "gothic horror" like a bunch of characters that resemble circus freaks that should be NPCs or outright monsters.
