Looking at the schedule for the weekend that is out, looks like they have gone much bigger than last year with 5 studios - I worry they're splitting the audience too much outside the main stage events, but who knows.

Also, Mike Mearls does not appear anywhere - not DMing, and not in the adventure reveal panel...

On today's Spoiler & Swag, Nathan Stewart mentioned that they're announcing 4 new products at the event. Four.

Now mind you, that might include dice, DM's screen, map pack, etc. But still, FOUR.

I hope it doesn't include stuff like dice. It'd be nice to learn about the next Adventure, next Player/DM book, and Next Setting.

The Angel on the promo art is confirmed Zariel.

This site has info of the event, and they were provided a new vertical art piece featuring the angel. The files name reads "VerticalZariel_FSArt2-sized.jpg"

Just wanted to say I told ya'll so. Bloodwar adventure inbound.

Not just the Blood War, but are we getting the whole story of Zariel's fall? Are we going to watch that in real-ish time?

You mean like a time travel story, because Zariel fell long before the current in game time period.

If you cast Enlarge/Reduce on the players and infinite amount of times they can enter the "Realm of Tiny Packages" and steel the McGuffin of PLOT from Angelic Zariel.

Per last week's Dragon Talk episode, two of the products to be announced are being worked on by Shelly Mazzanoble: which means they are board game products.

In addition, Perkins spends a lot of time going into the politics of the Nine Hells, and how he has been scrounging through old Dungeon magazine articles and such to find established Devil characters to us "in the future."

I'm not sold that they are one and the same. I read it as she has products being announced, but not that they are one of the 4 big ones.

We know a bit about 3 of the products.

Bloodwar/9 Hells Adventure Hardcover
Setting Book (likely Eberron)
A new Box Set (I'd bet an Eberron Starter Set)
One Mystery product (My guess is another Magic The Gathering Setting book or a Planescape one to go with the Bloodwar Adventure)

They will undoubtedly announce new board games and other products, but the 4 announcements Nathan Stewart teased are likely all tied to the core TTRPG game.

We know 3 of the products in one form.

Shelly works for Nate too, so if anything D&D is coming from Avalon Hill, that would also be his domain.

We do not know that those first three are seperate products: the Blood War/Baldur's Gate thing might be the boxed set, or the setting might be the boxed set, or the boxed set might be an Avalon Hill product. We'll find out soon enough.
