D&D 5E March 2022 D&D book to be announced on October 12 as per Amazon.

Looks like Amazon spilled the beans again, although these days they're being much more canny about it:

Dungeons & Dragons March 2022 Title: Wizards RPG Team: 9780786967865: Amazon.com: Books

Amazon doesn't spill anything, the publisher decides when a product page goes up and what is on it. WotC now uses these sorts of teasers to generate buzz.

So anyone know the where and what time of the reveal?

Haven't heard anything. It's after midnight Eastern, and Amazon hasn't updated the page yet, so no help there...

Give them some time guys! WotC will likely stream and/or post video during business hours Pacific Time. Let's get all worked up tomorrow evening if we haven't heard anything. It's still Monday in much of the world!

Well WOTC spilled the beans because they provided the data and know that Amazon puts these up.

Well, this will be interesting. Monsters of the Multiverse is coming out in January, right? So it isn't that. Either a classic setting or and adventure.

I know: tremendous deductive reasoning .

It could be because Multiverse coming in January is just the one in the boxed set. They said the general release will be later in the year.

A release date of 15 March 2022. Isn't that kinda tight for it being connected to this UA? Five months out, including over the holidays. The UA dropped 8 October 2021. A week to argue about it online before they drop the survey. Say a week to argue about the survey. Anyone know how long it takes to get a few million books physically printed in the USA these days? With the supply chain apocalypse already delaying things, this will be pushed back at least a month.

The tagline is "Tune in on October 12 to find out what adventures await."

Could be a setting/adventure, a la Curse of Strahd. Could be an adventure anthology, similar to Candlekeep.

This is the Australian store that leaked the Gift Set title. They don't have anything new listed as yet.

I also doubt it is a million books let alone a few million. That would put them on the NYT best seller's list.

I find that unlikely. Why would they hold off on announcing the book that we already know is coming? That doesn't seem like something they would do.

It's what they said in the stream so I don't know. I'll find the news page quote for you.

Pertinent quote:

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse
A treasure trove of creature related material from previous products compiled into one book and updated.

Opportunity to update material with a feel for how the 50th Anniversary books will be.

Improvements based on feedback, rebalancing, new and old art.

Over 250 monsters, and 30 playable races. All of the setting agnostic races that have been published outside the Player's Handbook.

Some content from Witchlight, Fizban's, and Strixhaven was influenced by Mordenkainen's.

Available first in the gift set, but separately later in the year.

Monsters alphabetized throughout rather than using subsections.
