D&D (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

Sometimes people think "like 5E" means "roll a d20 and add some numbers, as long as they aren't too big" plus advantage/disadvantage. People do it all the time with Shadowdark.

I think what makes a game 5E is deeper than that and built into all the system of the game.

You're probably thinking about this in a more sophisticated way than I am. If I can take my 5E players and say, "It's a lot like 5E, you'll figure it out as we play" then that's "like 5E". And Shadowdark fits into that category for me, yes.

I can see WotC putting it into a compilation of crazy alternate settings (a 5E Manual of the Planes, at long last?) but I suspect it's low on the list of projects as far as return on investment goes.

If we do get such a book, I think it is far more likely to be titled Manual of the Multiverse than Manual of the Planes.

It would be cool if the named it the Codex of the Infinite Planes after the artifact in the 1e DMG.
