Commentary: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasbro has in fact dropped and abandoned a large section of its Fifth Edition Game, this Easter you’ll find out in my server blog that here in Halifax there’s some condensation emergency with Fire Alarm Systems and the Halifax Fire Department has us all up this week with apartment condensation clean up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, the perfect setting to set up my Dungeons & Dragons set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds good to me, so now I gotta sit here babysitting that with my new dehumidifer for who knows how long drying roof or celing condensation from city ice damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get Dungeons & Dragons 2024 you’ll find out it’s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many titles have been abandoned such as Candlekeep Mysteries, Baulder’s Gate and Waterdeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All from Swordcoast Adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new book has left the look of Forgotten Realms and is now Greyhawk focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside publishers claim to be continuing these titles, Hasbro says they are out of print at the Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Hasbro has launched my new favorite part of the game which looks like a new Starter Set series launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overzealous, overprinted, too many titles and character plots remain the forgotten legacy of the biggest Dungeons & Dragons sale ever, Fifth Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pleasing anyone with a “still compatable” tag on new 2024 rule books while discontinuing most old titles at Mall bookstores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A throwback to TSR for the 50th annivarsary of the game, just more incomplete Unearthed Arcana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 rule books are a new game edition if players, easy using house rules, only use books made after 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me the biggest failed part of the mass commercialized version was plot guides to make adventures using extended cartoon characters to narrate books, extensons of the Dungeon Master’s guide, that also expanded into adventure modules using the cartoon characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All dropped by Hasbro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Probably too large of material for most players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sword Coast dropped for a new Greyhawk Setting in Dungeons & Dragons 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really though, all they managed to release in that ten year period was a small list of books and only they had cartoon character narration with no commercalization or action figures for the characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lame I mean to most players anyway which I understand anyway…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, most of them use house rules and don’t use adventure modules anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let alone, extended game settings with cartoon character narration and rules expansions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not Fifth Edition had it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My point…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need you know all that to write full adventures as a Dungeon Master in Fifth Edition, which is now dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasbro’s biggest success to me is the rule changes in Dungeons & Dragons 2024 will differentiate this version for house rules players, most people, will keep new titles seperated from the commercialized Fifth Edition version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
