Here’s something brand new: Monsters from Guild Wars 1 statted up for D&D 5e, region by region, starting with Pre-Searing Ascalon (we may or may not go in strict chronological order). People might reasonably be afraid that this is a trend towards abandoning projects to work on whatever seems shiny right now. Fear not, because that is actually the opposite of true. One of our contributors has recently written up a list of all abandoned projects and is trying to complete them all. In the case of this particular project, an effort to make a homebrew Guild Wars 1 RPG is being re-examined and is being redesigned as a D&D 5e hack rather than a totally standalone homebrew.
