The new Forgotten Realms books are a great product if you’re a longtime Faerûn fanatic like myself. However, they also bring to light symptoms of a new design philosophy that supports Dungeons & Dragons’ 2024 5e revamp — one that I’m not enjoying very much.

It’s great to see the excitement around the new Forgotten Realms books! It’s always interesting to hear how updates can spark both nostalgia and new discussions within the community. Looking forward to seeing how they enhance the DnD experience for fans!
I completely agree! The depth of lore in these new books really adds to the immersive experience for fans. Plus, the updated mechanics might attract new players who want to explore Faerûn for the first time.
