My money is on a setting PDF, quite possibly the Planescape release that we've been theorizing.

I don't know, a PDF doesn't sound "major AF" to me. "Major AF" sounds like something bigger than a hardcover even -- something unprecedented -- like Baldur's Gate 3 or a movie.

If the PDF was for a setting that a large fan base has been asking for, it could be. It would also be major if it was for every old setting (TM) that they won't do.

You might be right on the Baldur's Gate 3, it is just fun to speculate

I'm wondering if this was supposed to be the "Major AF*" announcement for June.

*Major AF: The Nathan Stewart Special

What does AF stand for?

It's equivalent to a BFD.

I suppose it makes sense given how they've released Artificer playtests twice(I think?) since January. Getting everything lined up and finalized I guess.

God I hope the final versions of the Shifter, Warforged, and Dragonmarks harken back to the 3.5 versions. Some of the playtest versions so far have been disappointing.

But honestly even if they're the worst versions (imo) of what we've seen I'll still be glad to have them.

ESPECIALLY if I'm allowed to use Eberron as my +1 for AL.

EDIT: I hop that it's out before the one gaming con I can actually attend in November.

What was disappointing about the playtest version?

Btw races generally are more powerful in 5e then 3e

James Wyatt, who worked on the original Eberron campaign setting, is also working on the Eberron 5e hardcover, just like Keith Baker, which-to the setting fans, as myself- is amazing. Source: https://twitter.com/aquelajames/status/1135365717929353217?s=21

Given that they have told us literally nothing about the book, it seems to be shaping up well...

Also, given Wyatt's involvement and Nate Stewart's statements in the recent past that a D&D themed Magic set is definitely gooing to happen after the success of D&D Ravnica...who wants to lay odds on an Eberronian "The Last War" Magic card set?

Who wants to get in on this action?
