IDK if you follow the Unearthed Arcana stuff with D&D. It's basically the beta-testing new materials thing.
Lots of UA stuff never makes it into the game, and the stuff that does is often changed.
Anyway, it's usually at least a good indication of what direction they'll be pushing in upcoming new publications.
They're moving away from 5e and toward OneD&D apparently.
Races are now Species (to avoid racist implications. lol. This changes nothing about the inherent problem with humans creative writing evil cultures and those fantasy evil cultures looking eerily like irl racism.)
I kinda like some of the spell changes. Guidance no longer requires concentration. The lol memes misreading of invisibility has been treated. Level 20 class capstones are replaced with level 20 epic boons. Not really a fan of that one.
IDK. It's a long document. Lots to absorb. Prob. most of it will be tossed out or appear in a different form, but it can be fun to just think through from a game design and creation POV.
