It's also the name of a city that is actually a worldwide cityscape, so the naming convention is easy but confusing. As someone who has always combined setting material to create new combinations, I approve.įor those of you who haven't played MtG, Ravnica is one of the planes. Some will – and do – grumble over this approach but empowering home games has also been hallmark of 5 th Edition.

That's because in 5 th Edition, instead of making explicit, heavily detailed settings they've focused on what Mike Mearls has called “genre toolboxes” to unleash a GM's imagination. It doesn't even thoroughly cover the entire city of Ravnica, just mostly the Tenth District. There is a lot to like in Ravnica, but a thorough exploration of the world (well, plane, actually) it is not. And since I've talked to or read comments by members of all four groups since Ravnica was announced, the reaction will probably be split, though not necessarily into even quarters. This feels like it is missing something.Really, the biggest complaint I have about Ravnica is that Wizards of the Coast might not have managed expectations for it well, as explained in the examples above. Like how in merchant rpg you have customers to level up, crafting stations to level up, gear to strive for, and the adventures to level up and a ship to maintain. I would like it if there was something else to do in the game to hold my attention that the effort from farming mobs could go towards.

I like how there is more info and visual flair in the combat report compared to Merchant RPG.

I have over 11 hours in it and I’m still farming enemies from the second map to get the gear and upgrades. I literally spent the first few hours fighting the same enemies to get gear to go to the next stage. Sure that leads to endless customization, but it is a lot to manage. I feel like it could get overwhelming quite quickly with how many different equipment stats there are. I love Merchant RPG but there is something about this game that just doesn’t hold my attention. Too much farming not enough variety in content
