WotC So, when do the announce the July book? Guesses on what it'll be? 🤔

what?

what?

A new D&D Live is happening this July.

 

[Mind of tempest]

ah I get it.

Well, we don't actually know a book is released July. There should be one, as otherwise the release schedule is a little wonky (a book in March, then May, but not July). But stranger things have happened!

Anyway, if there is one in July, it should be announced shortly before or after Van Richten's is out. Announcements I believe always happen on Tuesdays (sometimes a little hint or something on the days prior) and an Amazon template as well prior.

So my guess is May 11, the week before Ravenloft's release.

As for what it is, I'm going to say a monster book in the style of Volo's and Mordenkainen's, with some additional subclasses included. Heavy dragon theme, but it may also include fey material as well.

I would kill for something DM facing this time. No feats, no subclasses, no spells.
DMs need fun too.

But, again, in comparison, it looks like pretty much every 5e book is in that league or even higher.

That actually looks good for other publishers, not bad.

A game's core book that makes the same kind of money that is made by a DnD book during DnD's most successful time ever, has done extremely well. I'm not sure what greater level of success you could even ask for?

OK, make you ONE guess now. I wanna see em.

Genuinely just curious: what would that consist of for you?

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

OK, make you ONE guess now. I wanna see em.

Ok, my one, only, totally not wasted guess:

Witches, Warriors and Other Waghalters: a Tale from the Nentir Vale

and yes, this exact same title!

 

[Urriak Uruk]

OK, make you ONE guess now. I wanna see em.

Moonshae Isles: Fury of the Wild Hunt (it's a Fey book).

 

[Remathilis]

OK, make you ONE guess now. I wanna see em.
