They might also be beginning to change that way of operating and starting to lock projects sooner. Well, this is all fun speculation, in two days we'll know more...

His main points are: Make 5.5 Fully 5e Compatible. Include Easier Encounter Building. Include "Theater of the Mind" Guidelines for Combat. Strengthen High-CR Monsters. Fix Certain Spells and Abilities. Include Tasha Upgrades. Provide Less Problematic Race Descriptions. Update the System Resource Document under the Open Gaming License. Leave the Rest Be.
Of those only one or two need any more explanation than the above. And a few of them we've been told are definitely how they're moving forward, such as backward compatibility, and they've already included others into newer products, such as Tasha's racial bonus flexibility and beefing-up higher CR monsters (as seen in Monsters of the Multiverse).
What I'd Love from the Next Iteration of D&D
I love 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons. Many have complaints, some justified, and some making mountains out of mole hills. But none can ignore how successful D&D 5th edition has been over the past eigh...

Pretty much entirely on board with that, though I would like to see some tweaks to Classes. I am very happy Winninger gave this the thumbs up and wink treatment.The post Mike Shea humbly submitted to Ray Winninger.

In terms of writing books, probably not: and whybwould they launch previews of something theybjust started writing...?They might also be beginning to change that way of operating and starting to lock projects sooner. Well, this is all fun speculation, in two days we'll know more...
I am sure we will get some fun announcements, but notnofnstuff thst hasn't been substantially worked on yet. Even in the old days of WotC overcharging everything they had coming down the pipeline they didn't go thst far ahead.

Agreed. Personally don't care about the changes from Tasha's (not against them either - just ambivalent) but the rest looks good.

Yes, I'm also hoping for a few tweaks to classes. They wouldn't impact compatibility and would be most welcome (at least by me).

Honestly, I'd love if they straight-up lifted the Encounter rules from Doctors & Daleks. Include columns for hard and deadly encounters instead of all medium, and you're set. Extend the chart to cover CR30 encounters and you're done.

We do know they're going to reduce or eliminate short-rest mechanics. So there will be changes to the monk and warlock at least. They might simply get some kind of recharge ability used X times per long rest or prof bonus per long rest. I really hope they update the classes to include some of the options from Tasha's. The ranger especially needs some help.
