But is that a format we wanted to see emulated? And this is the first of two products we're being told that this will be the approach to it. And along with this comes the announcement that they're experimenting with a different page count and price point. Sounded like lower. But details were not given.

And so maybe the idea is this is going to be like a much leaner offering, like a mini book, a half book, something like that. And that's why you're not getting adventures. You're getting like outlines of things you could flesh out and run. It's not a bad idea, but it'll be interesting to see how how much that captivates people.

If you look at the Eberron book, it had a bigger page count than more than most books. The original Last War. And it was it's I mean, a lot of people say it's one of the best setting books fifth edition has had because it has so much coverage to it from an adventure experience to the setting, to the player side, all of that.

Yeah. And can I just do things? The Dragon Delves is also using this 2024 DMG approach of short type prep style adventures. So that's kind of fascinating there for these 10 short anthologies that they're not like full fledged adventures, apparently. Also, they're doing an art style of each anthology has its own art style. I think that's a neat idea.

For this Heroes of the Borderlands set, they're playing with components and trying to, I think, sell you on the components that are in it. So like tiles that you mix and match to create characters, which is an idea we've bandied about on the show.

Like if you have a pre-gen and you have, you know, insert either block A or block B for your skills and insert block C or D for your, you know, choice of subclass or whatever, right? And so they're saying this is the quickest character creation system ever for new players. So we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, just the GeekWire, Polygon and Screen Rant all had articles. GeekWire had some interesting pieces there where it talked about how now that sort of Jeremy Crawford has a slightly, I think, elevated role and Perkins shifts over to sort of world creation and that this allows them to reestablish a world building environment with the idea that they could create new settings.

So that'll be interesting to see whether that comes out. And it wasn't just necessarily settings, but sort of new experiences, new, you know, beyond the idea of revisiting the past and having like an old setting book or something like that. They talked about bringing in Baldur's Gate three aspects to that Baldur's Gate section of the adventure guide. But also they were saying that.

All of the experience of Baldur's Gate 3 and appeal of it was, according to Jeremy Crawford, brought in as the idea of having micro settings, various disparate locations that are still technically on the same world, which are different enough to serve as the home for entirely different styles of the D&D game.

And this apparently came from the reactions to Baldur's Gate 3, which I thought was really interesting. Awesome. The virtual tabletop came up. Do we want to just quickly touch on that? Go for it. All right. So GeekWire talked about how Sigil has been a little quiet, but that they did get to test it, look at it. And there are a couple of things that I thought were interesting here.
