I’m most excited for the new Eberron book, followed by the FR books. I’m not sure about Dragon Delves, and I’ll probably skip the Borderlands box set.
Might just be because we have actually gotten previews for it, but right now Dragon Delves is the moat interesting, particularly given how well the past several anthologies have been done. Amd more dragon art is always nice.

I think the Lorwyn book may end up being the most wild and original of the year.

I am finding the poll numbers very interesting at this point, 4-5 days in. Dragon Delves at 18.6%; and the rest within roughly 10 points of each other, including "None of the Above" (31.4 to 41.5). Appreciate (and am curious about) those folks who defined the term "excited" in a way that may have not been my intent - but hey, communication is hard; and I posted this with an internal dialog of "I'm not sure I'm super excited about any of these products - is anyone else?"

Upon further consideration, I decided that I'm excited about the Eberron book, I've been wanting to run something in that setting for a while, maybe that'll push me over to do it. Also, I've been hoping for an expansion beyond the Sword Coast in the FR, so am very glad for the two FR books. I'll be interested to see how splitting into two books will go from a sales point.

Dragon Delves - well, I didn't get Bigby's; and am sort of not so interested in this one either - but since it's different, I may pick it up anyway.

Starter set I'll probs pass on, unless reviews come in and say that the adventure is amazing; or that it's great for teaching new folks how to play.

Not really like Bigby's, it's more like Keys from the Golden Vault, JourneyThriugh the Radiant Citadelor Candlekeep Mysteries. A series of small Adventures, each themed around a different Dragon.

If i was to be "excited" about anything it would be the FR books, but i just can't get excited about anything Wizbro is doing the last few years.
 

Enworld is becoming a bastion for people who hate current D&D and want to see it fail. It's legit exhausting that any thread that tries to discuss anything positive gets bogged down with the same arguments over and over again.

To be honest though, go on Facebook or Reddit and you get the same smug comments and tired arguments. It legitimately saps my interest in the community.
Feels almost like 2011 again.

And when it comes to good and innovative mechanics in D&D I'll take just about anything by WotC over anything by TSR after 1980. Possibly after 1975.
 

Honestly the product I'm most intrigued by is the one not listed in the poll: the October mystery book. Is it a Magic: The Gathering setting? A do-over of some older product, like how Tyranny of Dragons combined two books under one cover? All we know is that it's not a full-length adventure campaign.
 

The Forgotten Realms books. Mostly for my son as he's DMing for the first time and is in love with that setting (he's currently reading the Drizzt books).

Plus my curiosity about how they'll tackle the setting post-Baldur's Gate 3.

edit: oh also because the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide was pretty disappointing, except for maybe some of the character options and the chapter on deities.
 


I'm eyeing the FG realms books, but I'm a late adopter to 5E in general and have a hideous backlog of books to go through and run. In general, I'm more interested in how they've developed any lore or fleshed out settings beyond the Sword Coast. That aside, I probably won't be needing any of the player options unless they provide something really novel I can incorporate to the 2014 edition of the rules.

I'm also curious how relations in the Lord's Alliance are going, but that's mostly because I'm midway through a Dragon Heist campaign.

The Player's book is where the general lore update of the setting lore is, the Adventurer's Guide to FR is deeper dives on five regions and I think monsters and magic items.
