Critical Role LYSK: Gods and Geography of Wildemount

[gyor]

Some interesting stuff like they added a God to the Dawn Pantheon (likely to replace that Pathfinder Goddess which they can't use, but simular function I guess).

For a product that's not taking up an official product slot, this book sure is getting a lot of official marketing support.

Something tells me we're not getting another release this spring or winter. This is it.

I guess we will find out, but the marketing is simply related to it clear profitability.

This book is 2020 Q1, right? What makes you think we won't be getting a Q2 release? Since the bulk of this book was by the CR team with WotC only serving an advisory role, then there should be enough time and resources for them to stick to the 1 book per quarter they've been doing since 2018.

Because except for Ghosts of Saltmarsh last year, all the Q1/Q2 APs (Princes, Strahd, and Yawning Portal) were announced in January. They're unusually late in announcing the next book if it is an AP and if it is slated for Q1/Q2.

Chris Perkins did help out on the book, and there was still some editing and design done by Crawford and the editing teams.

I could definitely see another book, likely the Welch compilation adventure book, being announced soon after Wildemount's release in March, with its release in late May, early copies at D&D Live.

I did notice that Chris got his CritRole history a little mixed up. The "new" goddess is called 'Rae', which is short for Sarenrae, the Pathfinder goddess that Ashley Johnson's original character Pike was a cleric of. Chris however, said it was for Ashley's character 'Tasha'... which is doubly incorrect. Ashley's current character is named 'Yasha', not 'Tasha', and Yasha is a Path of the Zealot for Kord, the Stormlord, not Rae.

They did say Kate would be talking about her upcoming book in the next Dragon+ which should come out in February. Not sure when the product will come out, but the announcement should be soon.

Per last Month's Dragon+, Kate will discuss her book in this month's Dragon+. Whether that is an official announcement or not I am not sure, but we will get more details sooner than the release of Wildemount.

You forgot MToF, there. Ghosts of Saltmarsh is the important precedent, however, since they have upped their staff. Moreover, we know of three projects coming down the pipeline: Welch's unannounced compilation book, Perkins AP and Crawford's UA project. I expect a Q2, Q3, and Q4 release set.
