    Ok, I'll say it:

    You finally made a post that I don't outright hate.

    I actually chuckled.

    spook of spookiness:

    1) a new condition: spooked (it's like frightened but more whimsical and fun)

    2) a few new spells that cause the spooked condition

    3) at least one enemy that causes the spooked condition somehow

    Hey now, I resent your implications here. I would have hated the Greyhawk initiative even if they hadn't made me wait for it.

    I'm half convinced that one of their favorite things is trolling us... It can't all be pure laziness (though things like Greyhawk Initiative are clearly a combination of both).

    And am I the only one that finds it immensely disappointing that, with the vast amount of artwork they have the rights to, they almost always use the exact same piece of artwork to head all of these UA articles? Sometimes they change the zoom, and that is enough for them... I'm not impressed by it.

    They have more than enough stock art around at this point that it shouldn't be this half-assed. Yes, I agree entirely.

    WotC has always loved using old art in new editions.

    The female barbarian in the 5e phb is actually from 4e as is some art from the bard.

    This also happened in 4e with art from 3e.

    You right. We hated it before it was on the podcast and despised it as a UA article

    Also isn't the podcast live? I've never watched it but if they get any messages from the audience it better be nothing but "Where the UA at?"
