I agree, but again, you're assuming that the work hasn't started, which is isn't the case. At least some options that make it into any upcoming sourcebook have been floated in UA. These concepts will have already had internal playtesting, and the wider community has already been surveyed about...

You are correct, of course! But even that is a big start, as the actual writing of a product is one of the easier bits. As you have products over on DMsGuild, I'd expect you'd agree that coming up with coherent rules and concepts can be the hard part. Turning words into sentences is relatively...

I feel like even though Mearls says they are just considering an expansion, a lot of the initial work has already been done. There have been quite a few UAs that have presented drafts of additional rules. Not saying that we would see anything before the year is out, but I do think it could be...

I'm always curious about what other people put in their comments for these surveys, so I thought I'd post mine here - or at least the stuff on psionics... Mystic Class Overall, I really like it a lot! Giving the class a medium armour proficiency seems a bit off-theme, though. I feel like...

Well, it actually looks like Mike Mearls has something to say on this topic. Referring to Curse of Strahd, he writes, "I have to admit, the overwhelming reaction to it has definitely pushed doing more updates on to my radar." Here's a link to the tweet that I'm quoting...

Well, hello Planescape.

I seem to remember Island of Dread coming with a player handout that talked about a treasure hidden on the island. Maybe that hook was only added in the version that came with the old D&D Expert Set? (That's the version of the module that I'm familiar with.) Anyway, it doesn't matter - you...

I was thinking of doing this too. Looking online at the composition of a Rider-Waite tarot deck, here's are some quick instructions that would work... Common Deck. Each minor arcana in the tarot deck corresponds to a suite in the tarokka deck. The ace cards represent the "1" cards in the...

I unfortunately suspect you're going to be disappointed. WotC hasn't signalled much interest in doing higher level adventures at the moment, and if they were going to do it, I don't think they'd come back to Barovia after the events of CoS. But then again, who knows what would happen if CoS...

Likewise, I ran Caves of Chaos from my crew during the playtest. I agree that it was pretty slap-dash, but that made sense in the context of what it was getting used for. That is one nice thing about 5e. But (as you pointed out with Isle of Dread and Caves of Chaos), I think that many old...

Yeah, and based on reviews that people have put up about the originals here at EN World, it sounds as though they would benefit from an in-depth rework. It sounds like they have lots of problems from a contemporary perspective...

Depending of the success of Curse of Strahd relative to other 5e adventure releases, I think it could potentially lead to the release of other remade/expanded classics. There is, after all, a really big back catalog of amazing adventures that would be ripe for this sort of treatment. Now...

You know, Greyhawk never blips on my radar on these sorts of things - it would simply never get my vote. I have no association with it, so it never stands out as anything more than another generi-fantasy setting. But when you consider the support it always gets (at least from the grognard...

Cool, just noticed another Eberron reference in the Monster Manual's owlbear entry.

I don't see that successful CoS sales would lessen the chances of us getting non-adventure sourcebooks. Good sales for one product doesn't translate to "don't try selling anything besides this type of product." If anything, I think that really amazing CoS sales might even cause WotC to consider...

I really hope it's doing well. For those of us that want to see settings outside of the Forgotten Realms represented, CoS selling like hotcakes seems like our best shot. I expect that selling about the same as the other adventures (or even just a little bit better), wouldn't raise too many...

This is cool for you to have pointed out, as there's probably more on the line with CoS than there has been with other 5E releases. As this is the first time WotC has tried putting out a setting-specific product that doesn't take place in the Forgotten Realms, I think it's likely that Wizards...

You know, I don't think there is one particular D&D lich that is as iconic as Strahd is for D&D vampires. At least, if you're counting "iconic" as having a high degree of name recognition. Vecna would fit the bill, if you were to count him as a lich. However, as has been pointed out, he's more...

It'd be great to see Tomb of Horrors back in print and available at my local game store, but I wouldn't expect a redo anytime soon. Chris Perkins was asked about a potential update over on Twitter a couple days ago - he responded that the version of ToH published in Dungeon #213 (Apr 2013) is...

When Chris Perkins did a Reddit AMA a couple weeks back, one comment that stood out for me was this: "Curse of Strahd represents an acknowledge of D&D's greater multiverse. We will continue to tell stories in FR, but CoS is a shot off the bow of everyone who professed that Wizards would never...
