Matt Colville has released a revised Ranger and an entirely new class—the Illriger from r/dndnext
I doubt it, but we'll update the PDF as we tweak the class. Maybe it'll make its way into another MCDM book!

At what time period was Earth temporarily reconnected to Toril? I could imagine Shakespeare gaining a following in Faerun. Judging by the frequency with which Elminster shows up at my various back doors, and drops casual comments about what he saw, experienced (and mainly drank and ate) at historical Earth times and events, I'd say Earth and Toril have been constantly connected for a long, long time.

As someone who, not too long ago, visited Waterdeep and saw it with my own eyes, I must concur. Elminster is the best tour guide. #wotcstaff https://t.co/Wm9cyhOevl

#dnd tip for new DMs: #dnd in general, and DMing in public in particular, taught me so many great skills and lessons. One of the best ones was getting over my fear of looking foolish in public. I'd been doing it in private so long….

One of my goals for the year is to run a game at a convention, for pretty much this reason. I know it’ll be good for me, but the idea of it is absolutely terrifying… It's like skydiving, only saner. 😉

Dear Mr. Greenwood, I returned to play 5e after 32 years away from D&D. I want to run a 5e campaign in the city of Neverwinter and am seeking details. I’m frustrated I can’t locate shops and streets mentioned in canonical materials on a city map. Can you please help? Sure, but this is something I've answered a LOT, here on Twitter and on Facebook and at Candlekeep. (Where others have answered, too.) You do have the Neverwinter Campaign Setting book, and have looked at the Locations in Neverwinter on the FR wiki, yes?

Thanks for responding to my inquiry. Sorry for wasting your time. I have the Neverwinter Campaign Setting, but no maps of Neverwinter come with street names, only a few buildings identified unlike the
No worries! Here's the first relevant previous tweet of mine: Dannar’s Mechanical Marvels (from Volo's GuidettNorth) stands in the Blacklake District, next door to Jaesor’s Fineware Porcelain Works. Jaesor’s is on the NE corner where The Street Of Storms (which runs along…— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 8, 2019
…the inside of the NWern run of the city wall) meets Hantor’s Lane, which runs SE. Dannar’s fronts on Hantor’s Lane.
Blackule Lane (which several schools and academies front on) is also in the Blacklake District.

Thanks again. I collected enough fragments of information that I can proceed assigning locations on the excellent map I purchased from Mike Schley. I realize that my assignment of some businesses and shops will be somewhat arbitrary, but will suffice for my campaign purposes. Great. Some of the shop/building locales are "fuzzy" even when we designers discuss things privately, I'm afraid, because the maps don't QUITE match what was said in fiction prose or in published adventures. The computer game locales don't exactly vie with the maps, either. If…

…I were you, I'd put it down to businesses moving after fires or to upsize while enjoying successes or downsizing because trade is bad, plus the upheavals within the city, and site individual things where they work best for you. …

Who then in the word of kings shall trust

It looks like the Invoke Tweet of Jeremy Crawford feature has been nerfed. Official rulings are now found in the Compendium only, with this account merely providing a “preview” of possible future ones. Yes, I decided I don't want people feeling they need to dig through my tweets for official answers.

I gather from Cormry Novel & Stormlight that nobles are likely as not to call war wizards things like “drunken louts” or “voyeuristic nuisance” [paraphrasing] & Purple Dragons have “happy dancing mages” if memory serves.
Do the Blue Dragons have any names for ‘em? Sure. "Vangey's hounds" (sometimes with "panting" or "baying" or "non-housebroken" added). "Lubberspells" (because they sometimes hurl magic w/o thought for effects on a ship), Also "idiot figureheads." ;}
BTW, all non-nobles in Cormyr call nobles "highnoses." ;}— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 22, 2019
