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.

This image was in the announcement article and has been discussed a lot in that thread already.

If they made a Red Wizard adventure and didn’t give players the chance to fight Szass Tam, who is on the cover of the book, they messed up.

Its telling people the history of the game? I am not sure what is hard to grasp here. This site is for the brand. It covers the TTRPG, yes, but unlike D&D Beyond it is also for covering the movies, shows, video games, cookbooks, and various other ways the D&D Brand is used.

It is just a brand page. A landing page for people that visit the domain looking for the game, made to give people a jumping off point. If you're new to the game, you're googling "Dungeons and Dragons" not "D&D Beyond" or other relevant online terms.

Maybe. They also did the Arcane Subclasses UA. That had 8 subclasses, but some maybe didn’t make it (like Tattoo Monk).

We can see in his write up from the preview that he isn’t being tormented like other Dark Lords. The Dark Powers are just keeping him at bay. If he’s the dark lord of the domain, he isn’t active. It’s likely his dreams or just his presence that are causing the torment in the domain.

Much of Ravenloft is just recycling horror stories. Strahd is Dracula, Mordenheim is Frankenstein, etc etc. It makes plenty of sense for Ravenloft to have a domain to cover every version of horror, including Eldritch. Now as to why Cthulhu and his mythos specifically? Name recognition. If...

They could have. But with how improved some of the 5.5 versions are, it’s fair to assume people want the same treatment for their favorite subclasses. Necromancer comes to mind especially.

I do not believe it was confirmed that there is more than one book for the Season of Champions. In fact I’ve seen other articles saying it’s only 4 books this year, so it likely is just one more.

So they will be releasing two new Artificer Subclasses over the course of two years and not touch it again for the life of 5.5? Sorry, but I do not see that happening.

Honestly it kinda fits the criteria for both ideas. What better way to follow up on a High Magic book than Dark Sun, which is in many ways low magic.

This feels like they just had the domain and needed something new for it, so they made an ad that pushes to D&D Beyond.

Which may be the case, but in that case even more reason for them to release Artificer in the Basic Rules. They cannoty afford to reprint that much material over multiple books if they are going away from "Of Everything" products.

Not saying it isn’t a player book. But in many ways so is Heroes of Faerun, but it’s not the generic “PHB 2 Replacement” that stuff like Xanathars and Tasha’s are.
