They've snuck in my personal favorite Sorcerer Origin in an Unearthed Arcana post about Sea Dungeoning Minotaurs! (http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/unearthed-arcana-waterborne-adventures)
I'm not sure I'm in love with this rendition, but I'm glad to see an alternative to the two I know I don't care for.
That's actually a pretty good article. Thumbs up from me.

I really like the blend of content and design talk UA has been delivering in its current incarnation. Not to mention the actual free content they've continued to deliver outside of UA.
What a nice surprise, I did not expect the storm sorceror this soon. They must have had lots of requests. AlthoughI wish they would do these as regular blog posts with a link to pdf. I can't access pdf in my current situation. Could somebody share the details with me? It's a free DL so that ought to be kosher, right?

And there's already a storm cleric in the main book. Players just love storm imagery for some reason. You'd think pyromancer stuff would come out first, or maybe cryomancer to cash in on that
Frozen fad.

Not a bad idea, that last one.

Honestly
Frozen's brand success puzzles me. It's a good movie, but not as fun as its predecessor
Tangled, not that visually interesting, and it just doesn't feel like anything that would normally produce the merchandize sales it has among its target demographic or their purchase-making parents.
But whatever, cryomancer is going to be a more prominent character choice from now on and it would be clever to prepare for that.
Big fan of electric/storm types myself. And of course, minotaur PCs.
Are they already rolling out the splats? Ha ha, can't wait to see if the D&D crowd falls for it all over again and then complains about how it "ruined" the game. AGAIN. 😂

Do you have kids? Mine watched Frozen over and over and sing the songs. Tangled they could give a shit about. Probably because Tangled sucks and Frozen is fun.
Free articles are "splats" now?
I agree with Shipyard. Tangled is the better movie.

The definition has no relation to the price. The same treadmill the D&D fanboys keep getting on and then bitching about.

Apparently they dropped Storm Sorcerer from PHB. The fluff text for Sorcerers has one.
I don't consider free articles "splats". Splats are paid for sourcebooks, typically player-centric.
But there's already another thread where people are going in circles over rpg lingo.
@ 1of3: I bet you're right! I forgot about that mention.
I'm going to use this storm sorcerer as the fourth data point to aid in my design of an earth sorcerer for my brother. I'll probably import some ideas from the Elemental Evil campaign to do it.

Matter of opinion then. ;)
I love the Storm Sorcerer and I plan on making variants for other elements using that as a framework. Freakin' Palpatine-ing it all over the place with lightning bolts and sparks... So cool.
Tangled's pretty good, although I wish that they'd have stuck with their original plan and kept it as a 2D animated style inspired by 18th century paintings. Oh well. I miss 2D animation :(
