The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is D&D's next big adventure storyline that brings the wicked whimsy of the Feywild to fifth edition for the first time.

The recent Unearthed Arcana, Folk of the Feywild, contained the fairy, hobgoblin of the Feywild, owlfolk, and rabbitfolk. UA is usually a good preview of what's in upcoming D&D books.

Curriculum of Chaos is an upcoming D&D release set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Strixhaven -- a brand new MtG set only just launched.

Strixhaven is a school of mages on the plane of Arcavios, an elite university with five rival colleges founded by dragons: Silverquill (eloquence), Prismari (elemental arts), Witherbloom (life and death), Lorehold (archaeomancy), and Quandrix (numeromancy). You can read more about the M:tG set here.

You will be able to tune into WotC's streamed event D&D Live on July 16 and 17 for details on both, including new character options, monsters, mechanics, story hooks, and more!

SCAG, by itself, has outsold Wildemount.

It's also been out for four years more
Give WILDEMOUNT time

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

I'd hope a Fey book has Fey stuff on the cover and not circus stuff.
Take all the words of the cover and no one knows it's a Feywild book. Cover art is supposed to hint focus of the content within.
The saying is totally "Tell, don't show."

I agree, I was hoping for a book like ''Terrible Beauty'' for Shadow of the Demon Lord, or at least ''Heroes of the Feywild 4e'' in terms of vibe.

We'll see with the actual book, but whimsical isnt how I love my faes.

Give WILDEMOUNT time

CR just quit Wildemount. Are you assuming its large, but smaller than D&D, fanbase will purchase now that Mercer & Co no longer plays there?

There was never any official info on a Dragonlance setting. What happened is they put out the most recent dragon-themed UA and one of the spells was named Fizban's something or other, so everyone said "Dragonlance confirmed!" Even though all the other named spells were named after Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk dragons.

They may still put out a Dragonlance setting, of course, but there's been no official word yet.

Hardly an official word, but Mangianello does claim to have early access to official stat blocks for draconians here.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

SCAG, by itself, has outsold Wildemount.

Any evidence for this? The SCAG has fewer reviews on Amazon than Wildemount, implying it has sold less books total (more books sold should roughly equate to more reviews total).

For reference, if we rank the setting books by their Amazon review count, popularity seems to be like this;
1. Eberron
2. Wildemount
3. Sword Coast
4. Theros
5. Ravnica
7. Ravenloft (most recent release, by far lowest review count)

So the feywild adventure, in preorder, is #771 out of all books on Amazon! And the Strixhaven book is #1,512.

Without any real details in preorder, pre official announcement. Dang.

The world is Exandria. Critical Role season one was on the continent of Tal'dorei, season two was on the continent of Wildemount. There are two more continents and a large island grouping for potential seasons 3-5, and that would mean three more sourcebooks for the world before Mercer would be done there.

If it is a Chris Perkins adventure then it's a no brainer for me. It'll be a must buy.

Mostly because Wildemount is the 19th best selling gaming book at this time and SCAG is 20th, with a five year head start

Which is why I said Exandria is more popular than the Realms, as that includes Wildemount and the other continent. Two campaigns are set there
And that book will still sell for a time as people are catching up with Campaign 2 now it's over
And more people might start campaigns there now they know the gaps and where the stream didn't visit

And the third could still be set in Wildemount. We don't know.
