Ranking D&D 5e Sourcebooks for Homebrew and Non-official Settings (2022)

Tashas Cauldron of Everything provides optionally wizard spells for sorcerers. I hated it. It was entirely against the understanding of these two classes.

I would have a different list but the one hill I would die on is Tasha over Zanathar. Three reasons for the home brewer:
1) Tasha has a Custom linage. Using it as a template you can make a species of say Sea Otters and present them to your players. Critical for a home brewer on a time budget.
2) Session Zero. Just mentioning this should make the homebrew campaigner agree this is critical. Not saying other tables Don’t need it but to point out how important this is can’t be understated.
3) The fixes and additions. Artificer added & Ranger fixed, sidekicks to fill in party weaknesses - all of which are very useful tools you need to get the most out of a campaign.

If you only had the ability to get ONE. Doing Tasha is the way to go…then beg on the corner to get Xanathar (cause I am okay with a flat footed tie).

I think you should have included Ghosts of Saltmarsh, the adventures are all pretty settingvagnoatic and the extra rules for sailing and underwater adventures are really useful for nautical campaigns.

this a solid video

This was really informative and I appreciate the video!

I mostly agree with your rankings except for the Mordenkainen MoftheM book. I think that one is pretty optional if you have Volo's and Tome of Foes, which most people who seriously play do, let's be honest. I think no. 3 is pretty high but I see your reasoning for it. The fact they took out all the lore stuffy is pretty disappointing though and it was a bit of a cash grab imo because it was packaged as part of that Xmas gift set last year but you could not buy the individual book until many months later which was B.S.

I need to tell my incel neighbor about this channel.🤔
