The new rulebook era for Dungeons & Dragons says goodbye to cute traditions

In the wake of last year's 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, Wizards of the Coast has prepared a new version of the core trio of the players' handbook, Dungeon Masters' Guide and The Monster Manual. These releases, like Jeremy Crawford, the leading rules designer for D&D, have said in 2024 that they are “the best versions of these books we can make,” but There are small details that may not be disappointing for the fans of the club. As Polygon discovered, the era of legal disclaimers in fantasy is over, and it becomes, for example: “Disclaimer: Coast Wizards split up parties and grab appendages in their mouths No responsibility for the outcome of the green demon face, accept dinner invitations from the Bug Bears, raid the corridors of the hill giant banquet, anger the dragon, DMs say ” Are you really sure?” I say yes when I ask, “Is it really certain?” Polygon rounds out all disclaimers over the years, inspiring nostalgia to longtime fans, noting that the final example of the 5th edition of the fantasy disclaimer appeared in the quest from the Infinite Stairs in July 2024 please. The outlet said from Crawford himself, “There are no more legal disclaimers of fantasy. He said, including the characters from the original Saturday morning cartoon show of the 1980s. He said, but these fantasy legal fiction snippets go down the path of THAC0 (now a discontinued roll to hit Armored Class 0).
