This Week’s Community Questions

What do you think of the Ravnica setting crossover? Excellent way to expand the D&D multiverse, or a waste of resources that should have been used to bring back established settings.

Early Access to future modules. Is this something that you want to see WotC doing more often, or should they leave selling unfinished games in the hands of Star Citizen and No Man’s Sky?

Have you used the points system of Leveling from XGE? What was your experience? Do you think it’s good that they brought it to AL?
