>>98404032Does this mean I might get the Runeterra 5e sourcebook I've been asking for?
>>98404032>which saw various class abilities and spells changed to “at will,” “per encounter” and “per day” abilities.Which is just like WoW.If you never played WoW that is.
>>98404032>“at will,” “per encounter” and “per day” abilities.Ok, what do those mean gamemechanics wise?
>>98404346you can use at will whenever (A), like heroic strike, encounter you can use once per battle like bloodlust (E), daily would be the Shaman Reincarnation for the 1hour cooldown (D), and utility spells would be non-attack power support things (U), and those fall into the previous categories.

>>98404032>D&D doesn't even have all of WoW's classes>WoW leans heavily on class and spec identity, so you can't just make the missing classes into subclasses since then you can't have the specs as your subclasses>the missing classes are literally the ones of the franchise's most iconic characters (Arthas, Illidan, Thrall)>but WotC has only added a single new base class in the 12 years since 5e releasedEverything else about how WotC has handled this edition would imply that Death Knight will be a paladin subclass, Demon Hunter will be a warlock subclass, and Shaman will be a druid subclass...but I feel like that would get a lot of pushback from WoW players. At the same time, it would be somewhat ridiculous for them to add 25% more classes to the game solely for a crossover product. And I'll shit a brick in anger if THIS is what causes them to finally add a shaman class.
>>98404032>Biggest crossover ever!>They don't know about the existing D&D-Warcraft crossover back in 3rd
>>98404032it's all ogre now
>>98404856>Of course, World of Warcraft also drew inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons. World of Warcraft previously had a tabletop RPG published by Sword & Sorcery Studios that was compatible with D&D 3.5E.Literally in the same article, retard.
>>98404032Warcraft lore peaked around the end of Witch KingEnough to close some storylines but enough to keep the mysteries and some fun stuff goingNow everything has been over explained, reconnected and changed to death and now the world its devoid of anything interesting
>>98404856Wasn't there also one for Diablo? Or was that an attempt at an independent system?
>>98407500That's technically a different game. That one doesn't have the 3e D&D logo at the top of it, and is 3.5. The one posted was for 3.0.
>>98404095finally!
I wonder how they'll handle shamans; they don't fit neatly into any of the existing D&D classes, but I can't see something like a third party crossover book being something they add a whole new class into.
>>98407975That was in 2e.
>both of our franchises have been milked to extinction >the source is unrecognizable because bandwagoners and performist' fuck with the AI social media scanners on what customers are buying>LETS SMASH THEM BOTH TOGWTHER AND SELL THEM AGAIN!There really does have to be a complete wipe of current media to see a renaissance again.
>>98404655>Shaman will be a druid subclassFeels more like a cleric thing, since they wear mail and enhanced is a melee-focused spec
That's not fair, I'm not done pretending to mistake Age of Sigmar for World of Warcraft.
>>98404032Who asked for this?
>>98404032>Sloppified MMO gets hyped up by a sloppified tabletop gameWeird. I care enough about the article to say it's garbage, but looking at the game itself, I can't even force myself to care enough that it exists. Success or failure, I won't care what happens. Damn, I really hit the apathy stage of fandom-death...
>>98409497Having put an unbelievable amount of hours in both of these as a kid, just to look at them both together right now with disgust must be what they mean when they write about maturing. Im still a fucking nerd but holy shit WoW is such low level slop and dnd lost its soul decades ago.
>>98409419investors
Where is your epic level 1-20 Warcraft 4 campaign plans anon?
>>98409419I love WoW (pre-Cata) and I liked 5e, but I'd never ask for this.
>>98409419I asked for this (I needed a laugh)
>>98404032This is like the 4th or 5th time they've done this and its failed every single fucking time
>>98407471>it's all ogre nowAlways has been.
>>98409417>Age of Sigmar is World of WarcraftWhat makes a fantasy design style like Warcraft?I played Warcraft 3 (demo) as a kid and I still don't get it. Is heroic scale inherently Warcraft because proportions are exaggerated? Is calling something Warcraft here just a phrase that lost all meaning and is just "thing I dislike" now?
>>98410685It's bound to work eventually if they just keep at it. I look forward to the AD&D 2nd edition WoW reboot.
>>98404032>generic template slopI hate the antichrist.
>>98404042Why didn't they use the cute black April?MTG has a bad habit of being so woke it's racist because of how ugly it makes its women.
>>98407471>>98410691>Ogres are STILL not playable in WoW
