They mentioned that they hope to find the books on the bookshelf years from now. I can tell them I still have my complete collection of both hardback and softback Advanced Dungeons and Dragons second edition books on my bookshelf.
The OGL mistake was though replaced by the radical decision to make the System Reference Document 5.1 (SRD 5.1) an irrevocable Creative Commons license (CC-BY-4.0) ! (so for any content / product using SRD 5.1)
well these guys while they technically work for Hasbro are the heads of the design team of wizards of the Coast specifically D&D who are absolutely amazing and deserve your trust
Also I would say, I am just get over it they've drastically gone the other direction correct their mistake. Evil corporations are going to evil, but at least good people like these two inside the corporation are fighting to make good.
In reaction to the option to start level 3+ : I love the level 1 experience ; it is like Christmas to me or like reading a fantasy novel where the character begins young and not yet ready...
I love levels 1-2 as well, but since the rest of my table prefers level 3, at least I can appreciate that there are now better guidance on getting starting equipment that better fits higher starting levels.
Why abandon the Portuguese translation? We are an active community, I personally have been playing for over 20 years and I can't understand, if the printed version is not possible, why not only make it available in the digital version? I hope that the new direction will bring back D&D to Brazil and all other countries that use the Portuguese language
Can I ask why it matters? I get the ramifications in the long run especially on artist, but at the same time a piece here or there that helps get the product out sooner would be a good thing?
@@mizorefan100 D&D books have prided themselves in containing fantastic art to show case monsters. On the one side it's been great for the consumer cause works like that fire up the imagination like no other. On the other they provide employment for a chronicly underemployed sector. If they opted to use Ai (as in wholly Ai generated images, not images that had Ai tools used such as generative fill) they would absolutely break that, losing them a ton of respect from players and artists alike. The compromising of such values for "getting the product done faster" is such a gross idea, which could only appear normal due to decades of the worst kind of capitalism. Plus AI generated art genuinely looks like ass, looking kinda okay to folks who just don't know how to look at art beyond a base level.
I bet it will. If not whole pieces at least some ai infused pieces. Pretty sure the wizard piece at 0:33 has AI parts mostly in the eyes and that gold chest armor/clothing which is a shame if I’m right.
I feel that you should get the pre order stuff from the 3 books regardless of getting the physical and digital bundle. The digital dice from the PH. The art book with the DMG. And the gold dragon mini for the vtt from the Monster Manual that way no matter how you preorder you can reap the bonuses
I have a question for all Spanish-speaking players, is there a way to reserve the books in Spanish from the D&D Beyond website or app? And another thing, at some point will the app be available in Spanish with the books in the same language? Thanks and may you have many 20
Just started the video, but one ask: if I buy a physical copy can I also get a single-use code for a digital copy (that can then be backloaded into my application of choice)? I know this is quite an ask, especially that last bit.
Nope, there is a discount if you buy digital and physical at the same time but thats only for D&D beyond. I doudt they will have digital versions outside of some specific areas (roll20's store for one)
Core Rule Bundle seems only to be for US Residents only, partner site for outside US only has individual PHB, DMG, MM Phys/D&D Beyond bundles. Couldn't proceed past the Proceed to Cart button. Is there certain hours to click on the Proceed to Cart or is it disabled for now?
I agree. Since they released that monsters of the multiverse, I’d be sad if I couldn’t use any of the updated races. Especially the Eladrin since they’re removed from being part of Elf subraces now
I'm sure I've just missed an interview, but with all these core mechanics and updates, what happens with all our digital source books? I thought I recall them saying it will all be compatible, so will there he updates to the digital product to revise wording and such?
I believe the books will stay as they are - the way to make them work with the new stuff will be contained in the new books with the general idea being if it isn't being replaced by something just use it.

I literally just bought all three copies of the 2014 books. I don’t have money now to order these and I just checked into the mental health hospital so I can’t earn money to order the bundle. Poor timing smh 🤦♂️
"One DnD" was just the code name during testing. 5e was "DnD Next" while it was in testing. They never intended to publish books that had "One DnD" on the covers.
I know spending money sucks, but these new books are really, really good. The GM guide is arguably the best one they've ever made. 3.5 MIGHT edge it just a bit.
No discounts for the these books give me no reason to preorder these books, especially this far in advance. This after the Vecna no early release fiasco for many, does not make me feel good about DND Beyond for 2024
I preorder at my friendly local game store to make sure I get Ove of the limited edition alt covers. Isn't there a bundle discount if you order all three core books together?
I am so looking forward to this new content. I got into D&D right before Tasha's was released, so I've had a good few years to really absorb the material. I'm not done with all of the videos from D&D beyond yet, and I'm sure there will be even more in the Player's Handbook that isn't mentioned. But, one thing I hope receives a change is the Piercer feat. I just dislike that it adds an extra layer of decision when rolling a single damage die on whether or not you want to reroll it. Even though the majority of the damage from an attack comes from static bonuses like ability score modifiers and feats like great weapon master. I wish the piercer feat just gave something like "keen" as a weapon property. Like, you roll 2 damage dice instead of 1 and choose the higher number. It does raise the average damage, yes, but barely. What it does do is remove a decision of rerolling a 2 on the damage die and still ending up with a 1 or a 2 anyways. It just wastes time at the table and I think is unnecessary.
All this new granularity in the rules and new subclasses and abilities, not to mention the addition (and changes!) to the spell lists is certainly going to give **Players** lots of new options. (Maybe **too** many, causing analysis paralysis!). This is also going to make being a DM a **lot** harder; DMs will need to put a lot more trust in their player's ability to keep track of what they can do (and not take advantage of the DMs inability to keep track of all of these new options).
The more I listen, the less compatible this sounds to 5e. I know they don't want to call it 6e, but it seems pretty disingenuous not to call it that when clearly it is.
Why are there not preorder bundles outside of the US and why are there no digital bonuses either? 200 euros for just the three books plus digital versus a 170 dollar bundle plus goodies is just enraging.
Yes, totally upsetting, especially if it means missing out on extras everyone else is getting. What’s the point of preordering directly from Wizards then?
Backgrounds shouldnt give ability scores, your race should primarily give you the ability scores. A tabaxi sailor is not the same as a goliath sailor. Dont argue that you would distribute them differently. Ability scores should be restricted to the base race and through your adventuring you become better
I dont know, i think it makes more sense. Being a criminal would probably make you more dexterious, and being a scholar would make you more intelligent. Many races give abililty score increases to things that dont make sense, (In the raw race context) where it makes more sense that your background made you gain those abilities. Of course a Goliath would have strenght or constitutuon upgrades, but yea.
This new update pretty much makes race - or species, a term which I actually like better - almost purely cosmetic. They should have at least kept the bonuses and minuses for physical attributes (Strength, Dexterity and Constitution) *in additional* to the ones provided by the new backgrounds.
Or, just make AS their own thing altogether? Not all elves have to be dexterous. Some might be born unnaturally strong. Not all dwarves are naturally durable and tough. Some might be incredibly frail but supremely charismatic. Not all goliaths are strong, some might be really fast and intelligent. Kinda over the whole "your race/background determines your character's capabilities, not you." Tasha's origin rules solved this issue completely to the point it became mainstay. Don't see the reason they shouldn't be in the new edition.
@@dontme6996 Animals have different natural abilities over other animals but have differences among themselves. Lions are stronger than all dogs but some lions are stronger than other lions. Humans are smarter than worms but not all humans are smart as noble prize winners.
Have they made the game too complex? How is a DM to keep track of all of the new mechanics, all the races, classes, subclasses, feats, and be able to teach new players how to play?
I think the only added complexity is the new weapon masteries mechanic and ,arguably, bastions (but who's gonna start a game with bastions?). They changed rules, but didn't actually make more rules. I've read the PHB 2024 and it actually has less rules than the 2014 version. If you could keep track of all the races, classes, subclasses and feats before (which there were technically more of) you are not gonna have a problem doing it in 2024.
yes they dropped that branding, its still '5e' even tho this is a remaster. they dont want to 'split' the edition or change to 6e because they dont want to lose an audience
@@williamwalton9154 yes, skills made characters more unique. Just because you have athletics doesn't mean you understand climbing equipment or how different knots will effect how much weight it'll hold before breaking ect some of it may have seemed tedious but it made things less cookie cutter.(dependent on the players still to be fair)
Backgrounds necessarily need to be flexible, as 10 to 20 cookie cutter Backgrounds (with set Feat, Skill, Tool) will never cover the variations and creations in a fantasy universe / multiverse, and with homebrew worlds.
@@20storiesunder Yes, true in the 2014 book, but I was reacting to how it is presented in this interview. I will certainly continue to see them as examples.
Whelp, I was so excited and hoping they did away with bonus actions and just called everything actions similar to Pathfinder. Looks like a nope on that.
I really hope that yall have made a better system for homebrew creation, the 2014 monster creation system was so annoying to use and balance to get things right imo.
The preorder is around $200 US so I doubt there will be anything for free unless they make a mini basic rules digital file again like they did with the 2014 rules
@20storiesunder now being able to deflect melee attacks and spell attacks it might well beat fighters for survivability in many scenarios. I wouldn't be so quick at judging that it's still the weakest class judging from the UAs.
Custom background is the default. They have been very clear about this in previous videos. The others are simply examples to speed up character creation. That's actually also how it is described today in the 2014 PHB, but they should really emphasize it to avoid it getting overlooked this time around.
It's an update. They're not going to give it an addition number. We're basically past the point where new editions come out with distinctly different rules. From now on it will be updates and revisions.
@@Jason_Bryant You apparently don't understand how these gaming companies really work. When you grow up and been around D&D enough you'll figure out how crooked and deceitful these A-holes are.
Will there be new Dragonlance campaigns books coming in 2024? I am interested in seeing how much changes they did with the Monk Subclass. Is FIZBAN'S TREASURY OF 🐉 DRAGONS going to be revised for 2024? So it will be Playable with the new Handbook? I hope weapons like Samurai Swords and Ninjato swords and brass knuckles and other martial arts weapons and etc are in the new Handbook.
My takeaways: 1. Potions as a bonus action is something I've never let my players do, it takes time to dig through your bags, find the exact potion you want, take off the cork, drink it, do you action, & move just simply cannot be done in the 6 second turn time window that you are given. 2. If the community did 75% of the work and giving you guys so much information and feedback...why is the book bundle so expensive? 3. The change to inspiration becoming "Heroic Inspiration" is welcomed, I like giving my players more options and letting the campaign do what they *can* within reason is what makes the sessions that much more involving. 4. I am not sure I want to give WoTC that much for this, their scummy actions over the past few years just makes me support them less and less from not using D&D Beyond & cancelling my Master Subscription to just finding compendiums online for much cheaper and have more meat to them. I'll probably wait till this goes on sale years down the road if I get it at all.
Why is the book bundle which comprises the work of designers, writers and artists cost so much? Heck, I dunno, so they can be paid and still make enough profit so Hasbro doesn't can the whole thing?
You do realize that potion belts exist right? Or hell, even just a bit of string and a knot tied to your belt. Why would someone rummage through a bag to find a potion when they've already got it strapped to them?
Your 100% right. I quit playing D&D after 43 years because of their scummy business practices and crappy books. Your also very correct on the drinking potion issue, they are catering to the whiners and trying to make things "cool". They fail miserably of coarse.
@tarodnet ability score boosts from backgrounds and heroic inspiration from Pathfinder. Weapon mastery from Level Up. Circle of the seas druid sounds like a rewrite of the pact from Critical Role.
@@noahjackson1363 Not everything is exactly the same or works in the same way, but I see your point. It's not a bad thing to get inspiration from other sources; the opposite - other sources taking from DnD - is also true. Thanks for answering me! In my opinion, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) is trying to address concerns and complaints from people about the 2014 rules, character choices, linear combats, and unbalanced classes, etc. All the new content is very interesting for me.
You said that 5e is mainstreamed and balanced. But the way it is setup; it will never be balanced. And it starts on baseline of the character and development. For example, all marshal characters should have some basic rules that are the same. For instance, the monk is a marshal class; and this marshal class d8 (instead of a d10) HD. And this balance needs to be continued into the class. They should be equalization of being equally strong. Paladins are viewed as the strongest class. So, every class needs to be equal in strength as the paladin. Rangers and monks are viewed as the weakest classes. Even though the monk class was a knee jerk reaction to previous editions of how strong they were viewed. Every class needs to balanced with each other and they are not. And the same goes with backgrounds and a character’s race. You eliminated nature versus nurture. You only have nurture now. In real life and in D&D should match. Not all or nothing type thing. And getting something from both. Feats from nurture. There needs to be some kind of anchor into nature instead of just eye color or skin color. Which most people ignore especially after people describe their character, last a total of 30-60 seconds in the entire time they are playing if ever. You can ability modifiers primarily in nature and then perhaps secondary in nurture as a compromise. You have totally eliminated the need for the character’s race. I know that you put a lot of effort re-creating the current system (or edition).
lol - People talk about these rulebooks like you can't just play the game however the hell you want to. You people know that you can do that, right? You can make your own spells, make your own tables, make your own rulesets, kitbash rulesets from different versions, etc. After seeing the way people talk about D&D these days it seems pretty antithetical to the whole spirit of tabletop roleplaying. It's your imagination, use it however the hell you want to. Hell, you could port your make-believe stories back to D&D red box and they would still wind up largely the same.
People know that. The reason you by the books so some of the thinking and rules testing has been done for you. If the base is crap the more work for the dm and players. Many people buy the books so they have a solid base to built around.
You might have misinterpreted what they were saying. There is backwards compatibility, just not the other way around, so you can use 2024 rules with almost all 2014 things, but using 2014 rules with 2024 things might have some difficulties. There shouldn't be any problems unless you only like 2014 rules for some reason.
Please fire Jeremy Crawford. His understanding of the very game he is in charge of is...painful. Having a lead designer whose takes on the rules are so illogical that the default assumption should be that anything he says is wrong is not good. Frankly, it's amazing that he even kept his job this long, given what a train wreck 4e was.

I think you can be optimistic and even joyful about wotc products while never forgetting that their executives are a bunch of crap weasels.
It does seem they manged to legit improve the game against a backdrop of Hasbro execs desperate to squeeze every monetization drop out of the brand

yes they dropped that branding, its still '5e' even tho this is a remaster. they dont want to 'split' the edition or change to 6e because they dont want to lose an audience
Yeah it's kinda 5.5 now
Chris Perkins has head nodding down to an art form.
Is there a release date for the PHB?
I've seen 17th Sep as the release date on D&D beyond
What's going on with skills in 2024? I love 5e but the skill list is just not granular enough. 3.5 skill list was a lot of fun.
The optional rule of multi attribute skills really fixes this I've found.
You liked the use rope skill?
@@williamwalton9154 yes, skills made characters more unique. Just because you have athletics doesn't mean you understand climbing equipment or how different knots will effect how much weight it'll hold before breaking ect some of it may have seemed tedious but it made things less cookie cutter.(dependent on the players still to be fair)
Backgrounds necessarily need to be flexible, as 10 to 20 cookie cutter Backgrounds (with set Feat, Skill, Tool) will never cover the variations and creations in a fantasy universe / multiverse, and with homebrew worlds.
Backgrounds are just examples, there's rules in how to make your own. And that's good imo
@@20storiesunder Yes, true in the 2014 book, but I was reacting to how it is presented in this interview. I will certainly continue to see them as examples.
@@Baraz_Red Ah I see. Yeah so it seems the rules on making a custom background is in the dmg
Finally, this alt to be fun, I wonder what they did for sorcerer
Whelp, I was so excited and hoping they did away with bonus actions and just called everything actions similar to Pathfinder. Looks like a nope on that.
A paraplegic gunslinger. Because people wanna play themselves in a game.
Wish there was a Shaman class, using spirit magic.
27:20 I'm sorry, fighting styles are a feat now?
They've been available as a feat since Tashas.
It's so other classes can get it as a feat, but fighter for example gets them for free
Wotc seems to want classes and races to be more similar.
Love the barbarian on the cover
When will the new 2024 rules impact character creation on DND Beyond?
I have a feeling there will be a toggle to change between rule sets as the 2024 rule book is separate to buy.
@@humanoidrkangel I suspect so, as well. I'm just curious when it will 'go live'.
Maybe someone can answer this, but is this still considered 5e? AKA if I currently have a 5e campaign will this be used in said campaign?
It is up to the dm and the players of that campaign.
I really hope that yall have made a better system for homebrew creation, the 2014 monster creation system was so annoying to use and balance to get things right imo.
Are these new books free??, or do we need to spend our hard earned cash on a load of new books?
The preorder is around $200 US so I doubt there will be anything for free unless they make a mini basic rules digital file again like they did with the 2014 rules
@@noahingram2120 Which they did make a free 2024 basic rules online edition.
You did better for the monk class. But it is still considered as the weakest class, even in this new version, by a mile
Whaaaa? It can absolutely rock the pants of enemies if built correctly. It's never been intended to rival fighters when it comes to survivability.
Apparently hot take: DPS isn't the only aspect of a class that matters
@20storiesunder now being able to deflect melee attacks and spell attacks it might well beat fighters for survivability in many scenarios. I wouldn't be so quick at judging that it's still the weakest class judging from the UAs.
@@SortKaffe Oh yeah deflect attack is amazing.
@@SortKaffe Wait, deflect spell attacks, how?
I love summoning, why cant yall make a summoner class or a sub-class of wizard
I hope they have upgraded all the monsters to account for all the PCs upgrades....except of course the poor Ranger who got screwed again.😢
Sadly I doubt that wotc helped the monster/npc get stronger. I sometimes make a strong character and use it as a monster/boss/npc.
So here's my question, I'm a total dnd noob but is this like 6th edition or still 5th?
Just having created a Water Genasi Druid "Circle of the Sea Druid" so you made a circle for me?
No preorders from me, WotC lost that when they tried to monopolize the RPG market. IF its good, I'll buy it. But otherwise I'll pass
Lol Todd is so excited he snorted. It's okay I did too I'm very excited.
So no custom background.
@@-Lindol- yea... not what I seen being hinted at
Custom background is the default. They have been very clear about this in previous videos. The others are simply examples to speed up character creation. That's actually also how it is described today in the 2014 PHB, but they should really emphasize it to avoid it getting overlooked this time around.
@SortKaffe that changed.. apparently, it will be in the DMG.
Custom is the default
Is it going to be a new edition or an update to 5th
It's an update. They're not going to give it an addition number. We're basically past the point where new editions come out with distinctly different rules. From now on it will be updates and revisions.
@@Jason_Bryant You apparently don't understand how these gaming companies really work. When you grow up and been around D&D enough you'll figure out how crooked and deceitful these A-holes are.
@@SamanthaAnnFox When you grow up and stop telling people to grow up, you'll be liked more.
Is the character sheet getting a nice glow-up?
That would be fantastic.
Probably the smallest new detail but as a disabled player it is awesome to see artwork including wheelchairs. Love love love it.❤
It's fantastic to see the hobby evolving.
❤❤❤
-10dex, -5stre ,-4con as an example for some disabilities. I am disabled. I know my disability gives me disadvantages.
oleeeeeeeee, ojala resumen en español con todos los cambios de la 5.5
Oh man I’m so excited!!!!
I may be nit picking but that doesn’t sound backwards compatible.
correct
Will there be new Dragonlance campaigns books coming in 2024? I am interested in seeing how much changes they did with the Monk Subclass. Is FIZBAN'S TREASURY OF 🐉 DRAGONS going to be revised for 2024? So it will be Playable with the new Handbook? I hope weapons like Samurai Swords and Ninjato swords and brass knuckles and other martial arts weapons and etc are in the new Handbook.
Sounds interesting, but your new marketplace is a mess. I can´t filter products I already own.
My takeaways:
1. Potions as a bonus action is something I've never let my players do, it takes time to dig through your bags, find the exact potion you want, take off the cork, drink it, do you action, & move just simply cannot be done in the 6 second turn time window that you are given.
2. If the community did 75% of the work and giving you guys so much information and feedback...why is the book bundle so expensive?
3. The change to inspiration becoming "Heroic Inspiration" is welcomed, I like giving my players more options and letting the campaign do what they *can* within reason is what makes the sessions that much more involving.
4. I am not sure I want to give WoTC that much for this, their scummy actions over the past few years just makes me support them less and less from not using D&D Beyond & cancelling my Master Subscription to just finding compendiums online for much cheaper and have more meat to them. I'll probably wait till this goes on sale years down the road if I get it at all.
Your campaigns sound really railroaded I want my players to have fun and create awesome moments regardless if they are “possible” it’s a fantasy game.
Why is the book bundle which comprises the work of designers, writers and artists cost so much? Heck, I dunno, so they can be paid and still make enough profit so Hasbro doesn't can the whole thing?
You do realize that potion belts exist right? Or hell, even just a bit of string and a knot tied to your belt. Why would someone rummage through a bag to find a potion when they've already got it strapped to them?
I like the image adventurers keep their potions on a belt, like grenades or something
Your 100% right. I quit playing D&D after 43 years because of their scummy business practices and crappy books. Your also very correct on the drinking potion issue, they are catering to the whiners and trying to make things "cool". They fail miserably of coarse.
Pathfinder 2e, Level Up: Advanced 5e, Critical Role. Anything else they're going to cherry-pick their "new" content from?
What was taken from each of those?
@tarodnet ability score boosts from backgrounds and heroic inspiration from Pathfinder. Weapon mastery from Level Up. Circle of the seas druid sounds like a rewrite of the pact from Critical Role.
@@noahjackson1363 Not everything is exactly the same or works in the same way, but I see your point. It's not a bad thing to get inspiration from other sources; the opposite - other sources taking from DnD - is also true. Thanks for answering me! In my opinion, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) is trying to address concerns and complaints from people about the 2014 rules, character choices, linear combats, and unbalanced classes, etc. All the new content is very interesting for me.
Bigger does not mean better
I am beyond hyped
You said that 5e is mainstreamed and balanced. But the way it is setup; it will never be balanced. And it starts on baseline of the character and development. For example, all marshal characters should have some basic rules that are the same. For instance, the monk is a marshal class; and this marshal class d8 (instead of a d10) HD. And this balance needs to be continued into the class. They should be equalization of being equally strong. Paladins are viewed as the strongest class. So, every class needs to be equal in strength as the paladin. Rangers and monks are viewed as the weakest classes. Even though the monk class was a knee jerk reaction to previous editions of how strong they were viewed. Every class needs to balanced with each other and they are not. And the same goes with backgrounds and a character’s race. You eliminated nature versus nurture. You only have nurture now. In real life and in D&D should match. Not all or nothing type thing. And getting something from both. Feats from nurture. There needs to be some kind of anchor into nature instead of just eye color or skin color. Which most people ignore especially after people describe their character, last a total of 30-60 seconds in the entire time they are playing if ever. You can ability modifiers primarily in nature and then perhaps secondary in nurture as a compromise. You have totally eliminated the need for the character’s race. I know that you put a lot of effort re-creating the current system (or edition).
The beholder going to eat those two kinda annoys me what did they roll a 0 and have a negative perception to miss that big thing
how about misty step as a reaction..
You lost me at 4th Edition. So far great decision on my part
lol - People talk about these rulebooks like you can't just play the game however the hell you want to.
You people know that you can do that, right? You can make your own spells, make your own tables, make your own rulesets, kitbash rulesets from different versions, etc.
After seeing the way people talk about D&D these days it seems pretty antithetical to the whole spirit of tabletop roleplaying. It's your imagination, use it however the hell you want to.
Hell, you could port your make-believe stories back to D&D red box and they would still wind up largely the same.
People know that. The reason you by the books so some of the thinking and rules testing has been done for you. If the base is crap the more work for the dm and players. Many people buy the books so they have a solid base to built around.
Going to stick with 2014. I will not spend any money on 2024 dnd don't like any of the changes I've heard about.
No backwards compatibility that sucks same with multiclassing being more of a struggle but hey the art is cool I guess
You might have misinterpreted what they were saying. There is backwards compatibility, just not the other way around, so you can use 2024 rules with almost all 2014 things, but using 2014 rules with 2024 things might have some difficulties. There shouldn't be any problems unless you only like 2014 rules for some reason.
@@mydude4807 ok cool clarification but multiclassing still sucks tho
@@mydude4807So we can for example play the echo knight subclass from ‘14 with the ‘24 fighter?
Remade all old wizards?
Are aasimar going to be in the core rule books 😂
Species.... Really.
Emi's a baaaabe!
Nothing on the digital table top
Spanish Book ¿?

Please fire Jeremy Crawford. His understanding of the very game he is in charge of is...painful. Having a lead designer whose takes on the rules are so illogical that the default assumption should be that anything he says is wrong is not good. Frankly, it's amazing that he even kept his job this long, given what a train wreck 4e was.
