You've got to be able to do something with it while you're adventuring and that you want to put in player creativity into it and all these kinds of things. Everything at the high level sounded to me fantastic, but I had a lot of caution around hearing that. Everything sounded great, but I didn't love the UA, so we'll see how it gets better over time or what we actually end up with.

I went back and reread our Acquisitions Incorporated, what do you call them? Franchise rules. Franchises. And I also went back and looked for something that James Intracaso made for the Oracle of War campaign, because you could have salvage bases that you could build over time as you went into the Mourne land, salvaged things and brought it back.

And I went back and it had been taken down from the DM's guild. And not trying to start any conspiracy theories here, but I was like, huh, I was going to point people to that.

So, well, it was removed in theory because a while back because they they had stopped the program. So the idea was that you shouldn't find the rules because you're not supposed to make more salvage adventures and missions. But yes, those rules actually look a lot like bastions. Right.

I would say so. So I was going to try to compare the two, but I, alas, can't. Well, I can send you a copy, but... But, yeah, okay. I will at some point. And then we get talk about the art, how there is more art, and some of the art has been revised for magic items. The magic items from the 80s cartoons are available. Those are really strong. Somebody says they're really strong. Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Okay. Okay. We'll leave that at that. There are some changes, like the Flame Tongue no longer needs to be a sword. Magic item crafting is in the Player's Handbook, but it's limited in the Dungeon Master's Guide. It will cover more than just scrolls and potions. We get more description of the multiverse and what it means to D&D.

There's one thing that I thought was really interesting. So they said, you know, we're going to take... You're going to have additional crafting.

They are decorated with baby monsters. And then Chris ends the video by saying that he is grateful for the time that he spent with 2014 and the opportunity to make these new core books a better experience. And then two days later, a Bastions, a whole Bastions video came out. I did not see this video, so you're going to have to help me here.

It walks through that new system. Honestly, it sounded a lot like the Unearthed Arcana version. And but maybe that's me having a bias, just not expecting it to be vastly different given how design works. But a nice part that they covered is the vision that this gives PCs something to define, that it can help players think and act like DMs in designing their bastion.

And that led to another listener question, Sean.
