D&D 5E Kate Welch's adventure anthology. What happened to it?

I don't know why corporations are so afraid of saying: "Hey, we made a mistake and..."

The elemental adventurer's handbook was what I was referring to when I said "since the beginning." When they said it couldn't be cancelled because it was never announced. They did end up offering most if it for free didn't they. I don't know why corporations are so afraid of saying: "Hey, we made a mistake and..."

Actually, I'm given to undertstand that much of what they tested never saw the light of day. We'll probably get some details in 25 years in the definitive coffee table history of 5E...

At least one gem dragon is in RotFM.

the chardalyn dragon is a truly terrifying foe found within the upcoming adventure Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden.

Behold their Majesty! Three Brand-New Dragons from WizKids!

I'm pretty sure the Chardalyn dragon is not technically a gem dragon, and is just a completely original new monster.

The chardalyn dragon is made by fragments of the crystal shard, and crystals are gems.

From the description I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually a construct, not a dragon when we see the stats (which would make not a gem dragon IMO). What is the clockwork dragon? I forget which book that is in.

EDIT: clockwork dragon is a construct

Is suspect it is some other dragon (Icingdeath resurrected?) that has absorbed chardalyn and been transformed, similarly to a shadow dragon.

Could be, but the article you linked says:

"This dragon is a construct crafted from chardalyn, a mysterious substance that is cold as black ice and yet harder than steel. "

PS - That is one big mini!

No, it's a construct

made by a Druagar attempting to build a surface kingdom due to the weather Shenanigans.

I wish they would make that stuff public. There was a ton of cool content that never made it into either the free Elemental Evil Player's Companion or the SCAG. I can't talk about any of it, though, because of my NDA.

Harassment from fans is the issue in the videogame industry. ("We can't trust Blizzard! Blizzard lied to us when they showed us something two years before the final release and changed things along the way!") I have to imagine the tabletop industry, where there's less separation between creators and customers, has even more of it.
