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

[Zaukrie]

I own that I believe if it is the same book Im thinking of. Or one of the other book in that series.

One of these

Huh, I was wrong, they don't have a taverns book? I could have sworn!

There probably is. My experience has always been that when I go on DMs Guild it's because I'm looking for something specific, and I can come close but never quite find it. OTOH, if I get a nice shiny book in my hand titled, "The Inglorious Yawning Portal", I'm going to read it and come up with 100 campaign ideas. 2E "Cult of the Dragon" and "Secrets of the Magister" we're like that.

Also, I'm glancing at both sites, and not in love....so maybe I'm thinking of an alternate universe?

It was Loresmyth, though I don't own the product, I thought I did.

A "DMsGuild Annual" might be an interesting product: a collection of the best DMsG material put in a 300 page hardcover and given a layout and editing pass. They could even make it a public vote/competition thing.

Speaking of competitions, I still want the Setting Search to come back. I am really curious to see what folks would build for a quintessentially 5E(2024) setting in the same way Eberron was the quintessentially 3.5 setting.

From the ones I own(ed) they're 90% random tables and the other 9% is explaining those tables, and 1% is "huh, that was cool, wish I'd thought of it"

I want a book about participating and then leading a rebellion

I recommend State & Revolution, a Hobgoblin's Tale by Vladimir "the Impaler" Lenin

The Book of Exalted Deeds and The Book of Vile Darkness.

The Book of Exalted Deeds would be a primarily player facing book. It would have player options that allow for the creation of archetypal Good characters. The DM side would have a few stat blocks of monsters and Good-aligned characters and example organisations from across the multiverse.

The Book of Vile Darkness would instead be a primarily DM facing book. It would be filled with stat blocks of monsters and Evil-aligned characters and example organisations from across the multiverse. In terms of player options, this would be where the Death Domain Cleric and Oathbreaker Paladin would be located. In addition, due to what this book would be about, I would have a section at the start on Safety Tools that expands on what is talked about in the DMG and another section placed before the player options about why you shouldn’t play Evil characters or campaigns, but if you are here are some ways to mitigate the inevitable problems.

Essentially, a book about creating Good heroes, and a book of Evil monsters for them to fight.

Make it a flip book with two front covers and bound upside down from each other, like an old Ace Double paperback.

Now I am thinking about something I read time ago about a group of Japanases creating a new official D&D settings with a clear inspiration in manga+anime.
