D&D 5E Revisited Setting News: Its not the 2023 Classic setting, but rather for 2024

[Demetrios1453]

I'm actually not really trying to argue here, as we're talking about what hypothetically the format might be... I'm largely happy to wait and see what it is tomorrow, and then complain about it!

I can only imagine what the response will be if it's a random anthology or something similar that we didn't expect, with everything we've been discussing actually being a later release...

By the way, has anyone been keeping an eye on the various Amazon sites as it becomes October 12 around the world? We might get an accidental spilling of the beans like weve seen before...

I haven't see anything... I think D&D improved their leakage with Amazon, and the last few ones have actually been sites like Barnes and Noble, D&D Beyond, and Fantasy Grounds that leaked covers.

Reddit is pretty good and finding those when it happens, but not a peep there. So maybe no leaks this time!

So the revisit is a CR adventure, apparently.

Revisit is in the context of full setting books, and isn't coming until 2024.

This is the "peek" into a setting that was also previously mentioned.

No, the revisit is a 2024 product, if it comes to fruition. This is the cameo.

Huh. I don’t see how a 100+ page $50 adventure set entirely in a setting could possibly count as a cameo for that setting. The spelljammer ship in Mad Mage was a cameo. This isn’t.

 

[Demetrios1453]

An idea has just occurred to me - what if they have separate Spelljammer and Planescape setting books, but bundle them together in a "non-traditional" release, with "Multiverse" naming? As in, say, the May release is two setting books (and maybe a related adventure or two) sold in a slip case? That would technically fulfill the promise of two setting books this year without using two release slots (and like the Monsters of the Multiverse book, they would be available separately later).

Well, it's not a setting book either, so cameo or not, the setting book slots remain unaffected.

Well, this book certainly isn't a classic setting either.

Either this is the cameo or isn't; I'm not sure it matters too much.

Right...but the new to 5E classic settings are not the revisited 5E setting. They're separate things. They specified that the revisited setting was one they already did for 5E. So they're revisiting a setting that already had material published for it in 5E. That doesn't mean it has to be a setting book. This qualifies. A cameo is a small, walk-on appearance. This doesn't qualify. A full book about one setting isn't a cameo. This is a revisit to a setting they've already published in 5E.
