Well poop

Well, what is happening in this story opens up some big possibilities for the Magic story going forward, so let's see where this goes.

The first Dominaria United story is up, which leads up to Wizard Presents.

Episode 1: Echoes In The Dark

Alone in the Caves of Koilos, Karn searches for a way to activate the Sylex—his ultimate weapon against New Phyrexia. He discovers, to his horror, that the enemy is closer than he imagined.

I chuckled at the use of "Phyrexianizing" as a verb. I know this isn't supposed to be high prose, but eh.

But so far no major crossover with the D&D worlds seems to be imminent. We'll see how the storyline will go!

Next week, we will unveil some tarrasque-sized D&D news during Wizards Presents. Tune in to D&D Beyond's YouTube or Twitch on Thursday, August 18th to watch exciting announcements and exclusive reveals together!

It's probably being hosted by the D&D Beyond channels as well as on the normal D&D channels.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have the first articles after the press releases though.

Giant's book, perhaps? Or a further Magic/D&D collaboration.

Ilkoria: lair of Behemors? That is the perfect setting for Hasbro if this wants its own pokemon-style franchise.

I mean, that is a good choice!

I suppose a Giant themed monster book and an Ilkoria setting book could be a single product.

I don't recall Ikoria's inhabitants having a particularly Stone-Age or Giant-y aesthetic, but at the same time maybe they used that flavour only for the UA and will change it to something more Ikoria-themed once the actual book comes out.

Wizards will add a category on their Discord server after the announcements. Seems like something big that people can start talking immediately. Maybe "tarrasque-sized" as a 5.5 preview UA will be released at the end of stream, with feedback on Discord channel (do you remember the recent tweet from Crawford, about seeing something about new rules real soon?). Or a new Videogame (as games, tabletop or video, will have each a category).

Or... A beta of their VTT. That would be tarrasque sized change indeed.
