D&D 5E What big thing is supposed to be next week?

[OpsKT]

Perhaps they are coming out with a free version of the character builder, it just lets you pick your stuff and makes you a sheet, but has no power cards?

Maybe PDFs are coming back?

Maybe both?

My guess is more stuff that will further divide their player base, based on the last 2 years of operating procedures.

If they were smart, they admit they are doing a re-release on PHB1 and 2 in one book with the Essentials changes integrated, which would actually be a useful book that I'd consider buying...

Monday morning; 10am Eastern Time. Be sure to be looking at EN World's news page for something really special.

Eastern Time? Eastern Time? WTF is wrong with good old GMT, eh?

That is 1500Z (or 3pm GMT) or Tuesday 0400 NZ time.

Cya Tuesday morning about 7 then

Thinking big here. Perhaps they are going to announce that WotC has been sold to a different company.

Before he died, they downloaded Gary Gygax's consciousness into a computer, and, William Gibson-like, he lives on as the world's first true AI...

And will be running AD&D adventures on a VTT- for a modest fee, of course- complete with all of his house rules.

I am hoping they announce a partnership with Amazon to get the books and magazines in Kindle form. It would give me digital and them more control than pure pdf.

Is there a reason why we're assuming this is WotC-related news?

I have no idea what you're assuming or why!

The origin of the thread is a teaser in the last What's up with D&D news item.

It could be an embedded plug for something specific to Enworld, but I'd like to think more class is involved.

ENW has been bought and will in future serve as Wizards' D&D forum?

I'm kinda hoping for the return of D&D minis. I miss my plastic crack.

Not a fan of the upcoming Paizo version?
