What’s your opinion on multiclassing in 5th edition? Questionable tool for powergaming, or necessary method of character customization?

What do you think about more Spelljammer-ish content in Mad Mage? Nice flavor to hold us over, or a cover for the lack of spelljammer and an annoying intrusion of sci-fi into the fantasy world?Is Lennon being over-critical, or should the lore inconsistencies in the Eberron AL supplement have been rectified before publication?
What unique or non-standard noble titles or systems have you used in your games? We particularly want to hear about any homebrews you came up with

About Heroes Rise
From the publisher's feed
We're a show all about D&D. Each week we will bring you our take on the latest news from Wizards of the Coast (and the wider D&D circles), along with advice for players and DMs of all skills…
and abilities, as well as reviews of some of our favourite apps, books and other tools to help you with your games. So, if you’re a brand new player taking your first steps into the world of Dungeons and Dragons and just looking for some helpful advice, or you’ve Dungeon Mastered for so long you can still recite the THAC0 tables without looking, we’re sure to have something for you.
