    Not yet, but the book is full size, and a thick Bestkary seems likely.

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    I would bet against that, actually: it may cover similar areas, but it is probably formatted differently, similar to Forge of the Artificer.

    They kind of were already doing that since Theros.

    I totally called that they would go there.

    D&D’s 2026 Announcements: Roadmap Contains A Mix of New and Familiar

    I was pretty delighted to find that when I got the anniversary box set with limited background in the game. Not something Chaosium has continued to pursue, which is a pity because the old Universal films and Hammer do tie in to that sort of pulp fiction that the Mythos came from. I mean, at...

    Based on THE UA, a Ravenloft equivalent to Forge of the Artificer struck me as super likely, which is this.

    What videogames are you playing in 2026?

    I am over 50 hours into Donkey Kong Bananza at this point, 758 out of 777 Bananandiun Gems collected and got all the fossils and clothing. Might be running out of steam and not quite 100% it, but this is one of the greatest platformers of all time.
