The adventure appears to involve the factions from AU. So it would make sense for the PCs to have a background associated with that faction from AU. But it won’t be required. However everything you need to run a specific NPC member of that faction will need to be in Deadfall. My view is that AU...

I will just point out again, that in the 5e era WotC have never published an adventure that required anything that was not in the core rules to run.

I think it will have a lot of feats - a background feat for each school of magic that is functionally similar to Eberron dragon marks, plus "advanced" versions. And each school of magic has a new faction associated with it. each of those will need a couple of pages of lore. There also exists...

It’s to distract people from his missing moustache.

Aside from Wash, I felt that River’s storyline is pretty played out (not to mention not “the kid” anymore). I feel a revival would be better with an at least partially new cast.

Does Serenity have showers?

As I said, everything seems pushed back. June release is about two months later than normal. Years traditionally have four seasons, like the pizza. So something bumped to Q1 2027? Not unlikely IMO.

Indeed. Money and religion operate on the perception of reality. But a cheese sandwich? The perception of one isn't enough to make a lunch.

Deadfall is a half size adventure book - a new thing, but most similar to the adventure that accompanied Planescape. But most significantly, it is only adventure-type content so far announced for this year. All the way from the TSR years on the D&D publisher has made a significant part of it's...

No on is suggesting they aren't doing Dark Sun*. Just that it may not be this year. You do realise that a year is a purely artificial division of time, it is only one month between December 2026 and January 2027. And the whole schedule for WotC stuff looks pushed back. Nothing from November to...

But they work with WotC, and have their stuff regularly featured on the WotC site. WotC are very interested in their products featuring in other media (especially computer games). That’s why they appointed a Head of Franchising.

You would be surprised how often writers use in-jokes (I.e. jokes for no-one but themselves) for titles. Anthony Horowitz even makes it a motive for murder.

It sounds pretty typical for the UK. Indeed even if already paid in full it wouldn’t surprise me if one or two people didn’t show.

Of course. But it shows at least that there remains a continuing view that there is money to be made from the Dragonlance IP in 2026. And it might even be that “Champions” is is an idle in-joke.

For those who haven't seen it, from DDB article, dated 2nd March:
