[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7728791, member: 6801060"] If that's not just Mearls mistakenly referencing a 2019 product, or making a lesser product seem to be a major one, this is HUGE news. I've always thought they could ramp up to quarterly releases without seriously causing bloat, and it appears that they may now be going that route. Combined with what you say later about campaign settings, as well as campaign settings being mentioned in the recent WotC job posting, makes me wonder if we'll be seeing a campaign setting book later in 2018 as the fourth yearly product. I'm guessing (should this all pan out), that a four releases a year schedule will continue to have the September release be the big adventure path, with the other two being rules supplements (I wouldn't be surprised if one of these we see a continuation of Volo's-type monster books for dragons, fiends, undead, etc. as one of the yearly releases), and the fourth yearly release being a campaign setting book, quite possibly tied to the yearly adventure release. (My guess for the first setting would be Planescape, as it would allow them to test the waters without it being fully committing to a completely different setting than the Realms/generic D&D, as the planes are built into duch settings by default. The planes would also function as a bridge to other settings). [/QUOTE]
