D&D 5E Where We've Been and Where We Might Be Going (or, What I Think WotC Is Doing)

[glass]

And yet, I think that you perfectly understood what I meant, especially since it was much clearer in the following sentences.

You meant to imply that Essentials was a separate edition from 4e, when it was not. Hence the correction.

Well, how would you call it ? I have called it a revision twice in that post, is that the word that you were looking for is it something else ? Because call it what you will, it does not change the basic facts...

Critical Role will be publishing their own material as with the already announced update of the Tal'Dorei book. WOTC won't be doing it now that they've established Derington Press.

Hmmm...

 

[whimsychris123]

My humble predictions for 2022:

Monsters of the Multiverse (a given)
Spelljammer
Dark Sun
Far Realms/aberrant-inspired adventure arc
Anthology of Critical Role adventures

I was off in that I thought it would be an anthology of adventures, but I was pretty close! Wildemount made a ton of money, so I figured WotC would keep that ball rolling. I think we'll see Tal'Dorei stuff by Darrington press but Wildemount stuff as a collaboration with WotC.

And it's also the Far Realms adventure as well!

Hmmm...

That idea was toast even before this announcement, back when Witchlight came out.

The relationship between Exandia and the rest of the D&D multiverse is the weirdest and most precarious since Kalamar was an official D&D setting owned by someone else. It's part of the official D&D multiverse, but some of books aren't published by WotC, but the setting gets mentioned in none Exandria books by WotC.

Oh true... the Netherdeep must be the "scary, wonderful" place we've never been to before, as described by Perkins.

But it's not new setting, which is what had mislead people, he should have said a new adventure.

That aside, I suspect like Wildemount this won't "count" as any kind of slot as it would mostly have been crafted by the CR team with assistance from WotC.

It actually sounds like one of the coolest adventures in 5e, but I'm holding off for now.

I think Winninger may be counting this as the cameo, but it matters little to me if he does or doesn't. A cameo is just a cameo after all.

This definitely isn't a classic setting, so it's not that slot. The Spelljammer UA still points clearly to something in SPAAACE but looks like it will release later in the year.

I'm almost certain that the "revisited setting" that Ray Winninger mentioned for 2023 is going to be the continent of Marquet.
