For people new to tabletop RPGs, this is the equivalent of a DLC expansion. It's new content, new rules, new classes, and so forth to augment your 5e game.
Notable contents include:
Racial Traits
-
Racial stat bonuses can be moved around at will (i.e you can change a Half Elf's +2 Charisma to a +2 Strength)
-
Races with negative stat bonuses no longer have negative stat bonuses
-
A new "custom lineage" race exists, which allows to pick any race, and replace their features with a +2 to any stat of your choice, a feat, and darkvision.
Class Variants
These modify class features. Unfortunately, many of them are somewhat controversial in the community because people do not believe that they fixed many of the classes that are considered to have poor design, notably rangers and sorcerers.
For the spellcasters, spell versatility (a feature which allows you to change spells you know on a long rest) was not implemented, disappointing many
New Subclasses
A few subclasses from other books are reprinted so you don't have to buy them (example: Eloquence Bard, from Mythical Odyssey of Theros), and a few are new, like Order Cleric, Wildfire Druid, and so forth.
In particular, the Clockwork Soul Sorcerer is one piece of good news for Sorcerer players.

Do you read 'old news'/article archives?

Asked because I like the idea of reading about the past and feel unsatisfied by r/history and r/askhistorians mainly because reddit's search isn't that great and those subs have a much wider scope than most news archives.
I'm gonna do this on a Q&A format. Note that "old news" doesn't need to be news articles, it can be blogs for example.
If you read old news/articles, where do you get them from/find them?
What kind of "old news" do you read?
What historical period do you tend to read about?
If you're reading an article about a historical event you remember, how does your memory tend to compare to those articles?
How often do you do it?
What do you think about subreddits like r/twentyyearsago, since they're basically trawling through those news archives?

It's been one year since I asked Tildes users what they're thankful for.
2020 has been an insane year, but even among the despair and uncertainty, I still think there are things to be grateful for and things to be hopeful for.
So, what are you all thankful for to have had in 2020, and what are you looking forward to?
