I don't really care unless it's Eberron material.

Man... at this point I already lost all hope of anything Eberron related. I wish, really wish the D&D gods hear you though.

192 pages is comparable to SCAG and XGtE, 256 is comparable to the other APs, aside from Tyranny of Dragons.

Dunno how much stock to put in the designations at this point, but the release dates and page counts sound legit. They have said they are moving to one big Adventure product a year, though, and away from any level of interbook dependency...

I imagine that the page counts are not the actual counts. 256 and 192 are very computer-y numbers (multiples of 64). They are probably placeholders representing approximate or relative length.

Offset printing requires multiples of 8 (or 16 or 32).

I would love to see something new about Myth Drannor. I loved that boxed set, and think it could use some fine polishing and maybe an updated story line.

I am thinking at least one of these products will be the psionics and/or artificer supplement that's been in the works. This could include setting details for dark sun, eberron, etc. as required. But who knows.

I think Mike has said they are only going to do one major story adventure per year. Can't find the reference, for the life of me.

Didn't Mearls say there were four books coming out in 2018? Or is the fourth product the dice?

Should be four books - they don't normally count accessories in release slots like that, they just come out as they're ready. Tomb of Annihilation's dice were announced in tandem with the adventure back in June, it's likely that there's probably all sorts of random side-products plan, least of which includes 2-3 new miniature sets from WizKids.

My wallet already aches at the mere mention of more books, less alone any other enticing peripherals they can whip up in their spare time.

Broadway _must_ be Dragonlance because of the soap opera reference ;-)

They've said they will be releasing a book with both Mystic (psion) class and Artificer class next year. What campaign setting would need those two things? Don't give up hope yet.
