Are we under the impression that this is going to have a lot of backgrounds? I’m expecting 8, for each school of magic, and that’s it.

Sure, but the Idle Champions team isn’t WotC, and the ideal clicker has not been regularly promoted by or highlights by WotC for years now. This article is the most they have done for it in recent memory. I just don’t think they are that interested in the idle clicker.

There’s just no reason to think December is anything but a player supplement. They aren’t going to do back to back big adventures, and we know Dreadfall is coming out 3 months ahead of the December book. It’s also very clear now that they have been testing all those UA subclasses for the 2026...

Not a chance in hell that WotC is making an Idle Champions joke for the title of their big winter season initiative. IF somehow Dragonlance is the December book (I’m 99% sure it won’t be), then the title and naming convention aligning with Idle champions would be purely a coincidence.

I do not think the placement of the figure has anything to do with where Soth is appearing in the release calendar. It’s more likely it was just placed there because that was the negative space that needed filling.

The PHB also has Orcs. Which don’t exist in Krynn. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If Orcs in the PHB work for Krynn, so does the Lunar Sorcerer.

They did post an article on Beyond about Idle adding Raistlin, for what that is worth.

Sure, they won’t pick a title that glorifies slavery. That is 100% on point. But they absolutely would pick a title that’s catchy and can refer to the heroes of the story. Dark Sun isn’t “about” Heroes. But D&D is. And as far as Dark Sun goes, the best stories to tell are the ones of people...

Dark Sun consistently ranks in the Top 5 of their setting surveys. It’s one of their most popular settings, regardless of its absence from published materials recently. The common trope among all of the most popular settings are their diversity in terms of genre. They all are different, unlike...

The seasons are pseudonyms, they are overarching banners for a quarter. That includes the main book, and all the other products that release in that space. And while Dark Sun isn’t a heroic fantasy setting, that doesn’t preclude them from using the phrase “Champions” in relation to the...

Care to explain this thought process? I see no reason a “Champions of Athas” book wouldn’t fit the season concept.

Exactly! If it isn’t Dark Sun, then this is a major Marketing blunder to me. The only possible book that would warrant the same treatment is a fully revised Tasha’s and Xanathar’s book but I don’t think that’s happening anymore.

Last off topic post I’ll make, but there’s little to no chance the Champions book is Dragonlance or a Martial Champions book. They held the announcement back for a later reveal. Likely at something like GaryCon or maybe even GenCon. That means they think it’s a big announcement that would...

A reminder to everyone discussing UA (not specifically to you, Remathilis, just you have the most recent reply to this thread) that UA isn’t their only playtesting method, and probably not even their primary playtesting method. They have a team of private playtesters that they work with that...

Just because she left the office happy doesn’t mean they discusses Ravenloft at all. It is more likely about Dragonlance novels or the fabled TV series.
