D&D (2024) Wizards Presents show on August 18th! Update: WotC announces guests and time.

I pay no attention to Magic at all. It's a very different thing than D&D.

Right.

Do you think your average D&D fan, will have more or less knowledge of MTG than the average soccer mom who can tell you who Batman and Superman are?

Yes, all three characters on the right are all "planeswalkers" from Magic: The Gathering. That suggests yet another D&D/MTG crossover.

Not necessarily. This isn't a D&D event. It's a Wizards event, meaning they'll talk about all their products.

Very plausible, but they will be announcing a bunch of stuff, probably mostly Magic, but some D&D. They will probably talk about the Lord of the Rings Magic Set coming down the pipeline.

Oh, good. I sincerely hope I was wrong. I know there are people who really dig the Strixhaven and Theros crossovers, but if this announcement is just another of those, I'll be disappointed. Here's hoping for something juicier.

I imagine we'll get some more info on the Dragonlance release (as this will be after the Spelljammer release - although they may hype that up a bit as well), and maybe some hints on further upcoming products...

Is this event for the average soccer mom?

I think the hope is they will give info on all of the D&D products coming in the next year as the would MtG products

If they are doing another crossover, they might announce it here, but that is not the purpose of this event. This is meant to be more of a "Here's what's coming up in our various product lines ..." news piece. They'll have separate segments for D&D, M:tG and whatever else.

Unlikely, since WotC is only.juat starting work in what's coming next Summer in d&D, whereas Magic is all baked in at this point. We'll hear about some things I bet.

Nope, not at all.
