D&D (2024) Where to next, WotC?

[Paul Farquhar]

Like @pukunui days, that isn't an ironclad case against Desertt of Desolation coming along the path by any means...juat not what I see in the tea leaves, personally.

The second part was an interesting sandbox, but with worse racial stereotyping than Pharaoh, and the third part was just a terrible adventure. They did Pharoah in IS because it was the only bit that was worth doing.

Seems plausible enough: T1-4 is...somewhat uneven...in the oeiginal, but I do think they are planning to hash something usable out of it.

They might do something revolving around genies set in Calimsham, loosely based on some DoD content.

True, we are about to get a bunch of Asventure material in those 5 core areas (similar in style to the DMG low Level material, apparently).

I think they'll do Strahd again because the new MM has a bunch of new vampire types and other cool things they'd wanna throw in there. We'd get a cool alt cover and stuff.

Here's an out there idea: they do an updated VRGR and a new Fizban style Undead-themed beastiary (updating all those shadow themed subclasses) and sell it as a Ravenloft boxed set.

Called it?

I think it is going to be Ravenloft sourcebook a la the new Eberron book, rather than yet another reissue of Strahd.

Possibly an Undead Bestiary, as well...

Van Richten's is a solid book that only needs minimal updates to work with 2024. I suspect this will be a third thing, maybe a new adventure or, more probably, some sort of players guide to the Domains of Dread.

 

[DavyGreenwind]

Here's my predictions for 2026:

Curse of Strahd 10th Anniversary Edition.
Dark Sun.
Adventure Anthology: World Tree themed.
Feywild Setting/Beastiary, or an Undead Beastiary.
Something out of Left Field
"Everything" splatbook

Called it (Dark Sun)

Wait, has Dark Sun been confirmed and I just missed it? Or are you just assuming because Psion is in playtesting?
