Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

WotC has been using codenames for its upcoming products for some time, mainly to stop anybody figuring our what's in the pipeline. Those codenames end up as placeholders on bookstores and the like. Eagle-eyed reader Sean spotted some upcoming items on McNally Robinson, a Canadian bookstore's website.

The items spotted were a 192-page hardcover accessory codenamed "Marathon" (May 2018); a 256-page hardcover adventure codenamed "Broadway" (September 2018), and another 256-page hardcover adventure codenamed "Catacomb" (November 2018). There's also a set of "Broadway" dice.

Past codenames have included "Labyrinth", which turned out to be Tomb of Annihilation, and "Dust", "Midway", "Cloak", and "Dagger".

Let the speculation begin!

Marathon is the first Adventure of the year (Modron March?), Broadway is the big Adventure in the fall, and Catacomb seems to be the "Player Supplement" book.

Edit: Marathon seems to be a supplement and Catacomb an Adventure. But the release dates are backwards?

 

[Kramodlog]

An adventure in September and in November, and the supplement in May? How... odd.

[MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]: "Dust" was Tomb of Annihilation. I think "Labyrinth" must have been Tales from the Yawning Portal.


Midway = Xanathar's
Cloak = Curse of Strahd
Dagger = Storm King's Thunder

 

[Omega9999]

2 adventures, one in september and one in november? I hardly think this is correct

 

[LordEntrails]

How do the page counts compare to previous products?

My Guesses:

Marathon = Planar Supplement
Catacomb = Undermountain Adventure
Broadway = Lantan Sea Adventure

I made my best guesses last week: https://nerdsonearth.com/2017/11/evidence-future-dnd-books-storylines/


I was merely speculating based upon my research (and my gut), so please don't jump on me. Just feel free to let us know your guesses!


Regardless, I'm super excited for whatever they release. They are on fire right now, so I don't suspect that will change.

Nov = Campaign Setting? Dark Sun? Eberron?

Catacomb = Undermountain Adventure
Broadway = Lantan Sea Adventure

I like where your head is on a sea adventure. I was thinking Moonshae Isles though. Undermountain hadn't occurred to me as I didn't recall many breadcrumbs for it in previous products. Regardless, I like your thinking!
