Ooh, I haven't heard anything about the spell cards. I love those things and they have been immensely useful to me, any word on what sort of revisions (or additions) they are making?
Hadn't seen that about the spellcards, it's essentially just repackaging though? Are they changing the cards or just the "decks" you can buy them in?
Likely these versions will be updated to incorporate Errata from the PH (I don't know if previous printings did), but I'm guessing the major thing is that they're repackaging so that you don't have to buy two of them to properly get the spellcards for your class (e.g. the original cleric deck lacked the domain specific spells)
If GF9 would just put out monster cards of a similar quality I would buy them in a second.
I'm afraid I would. I consider it wishful thinking they would address such a small minority share of the customer base with a print product.I wouldn't be surprised if WotC released something like the SCAG for Greyhawk or Eberron. It would be an easy way to tell fans of those settings they are not totally ignored.
Just to pause Jester David there to make it clear that here ends actual D&D RPG products. The rest of the list is figs, decks, 3PP products and even unrelated games.Mearls has said they're working on the "first rules expansion" for D&D, which will likely be released in November if releases follow the pattern set by Volo's Guide to Monsters and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.
No other real details of the name or general tone of the book. Expect news of that in June.
The spring adventure was the one Pemberton Ward consulted on, and has the name "Labarynth", which is apparently a codename. Like Storm King's Thunder was "dagger" and Curse of Strahd was "cloak".
Nothing else is known. Expect a press release in January or early February.
I'm afraid I would. I consider it wishful thinking they would address such a small minority share of the customer base with a print product.
(Based on the figure of 50% homebrewers, 25% realmsers, and 25% all other official campaign worlds.
If you consider that probably more than half of homebrewers are open to using Realms-specific material like Volo's Guide to Monsters in their home campaigns, it's easy to see why all product to date has been placed in FR: it covers perhaps 50% of the total customer base. That in itself might not say much, but if you consider that the next possible world placement would probably struggle to cover even a tenth of that (5%) of the customer base it all becomes clear.)
More realistically expect Greyhawk or Eberron support to come through Unearthed Arcana articles.
