D&D 5E Musings on the likelihood of future products

I would also add that if I were WotC, I’d iron out some of the 90sisms of Planescape - not necessarily make if more generic, but less tied to 90s culture.

The guide commentary must be kept. Those were goddamn hilarious.

If nothing else, The Good Place showed that philosophy can be made interesting to a broader pop culture audience.

I love all the art I've seen from that but I'll be shocked if it happens before 5E is done.

If a Magic world book becomes a regular feature, and 5E has a number of years left to go, I see no reason why not.

Amonkhet has already been done as a free PDF from WoTC. It was a downloadable file of about 40 pages. Here it is. If I do not have to right to share this Freebee. Plz, ask a moderator to remove it.

For sure, but I could see a more, shall we say, full treatment.

yea because me and the several groups who tested it are delusional. It’s great on paper but not in play. We were far from alone.

The basis is there nonetheless.
Nothing prevents you to use it and adapt it to your taste.

Mathematically, it probably was pretty OK. But WotC is testing for feeling more than math, and if the vibe isn't working for people it doesn't matter if everything works out on the spreadsheet.

This makes me think that the best approach to psionics--as with the planes and epic stuff, as I said earlier--is to offer it as a toolbox, with a variety of options. All they have to do is make sure the math is OK, then individual groups can decide whether they allow the Mystic, Psion, psionic talents, etc.

Without going and digging around for it, I am almost sure I read or heard an interview with Wyatt where he said the Magic settings he had done as free pdfs were not likely to get the hardcover book treatment, or they would be at the end of the list behind all the other settings, or something like that.

On a side note, if they ever do a hardcover adventure for Ravnica, I hope it is based on this:

The Art of Magic: The Gathering - War of the Spark

Magnificent hardcover art books featuring the incredible images and lore of Magic: The Gathering®!Danger and adventure await in these pages, lavish...
