    Default Consolidated list of upcoming 5e changes?

    For those who weren't following the UA articles and testing, is there a consolidated list of what people can expect from the new books? Our group isn't playing 5e but I'm curious about what is happening to the rules.
    Gary Gygax: "As an author, I also realize that there are limits to my creativity and imagination. Others will think of things I didn't, and devise things beyond my capabilities".

    Also Gary Gygax: "The AD&D game system does not allow the injection of extraneous material. That is clearly stated in the rule books. It is thus a simple matter: Either one plays the AD&D game, or one plays something else."

    The PHB is coming out about 17 September of 2024, you'll know then. If you are on DDB, you can get it in digital version before the print version comes out. (Or so the rumor goes).

    There is an extended thread on the last UA and feedback, but that will only cover some of the changes since the 'final' changes are of course still in work.

    Suggest you drop by that thread and ask for more detail.

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.
    b. greenstone (paraphrased):
    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!

    There's a consolidated playtest document covering the latest material across all nine 8.5 playtests, available here: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/H8iRpbGyNtM4

    It might take a little while due to its size, but you can print the whole thing to PDF for ease of play.

    Beyond has a physical/digital bundle on books where you buy both and get 2 weeks early access on digital.

    No reason to think it will change for the new ones.
