Gotcha. I'm pretty sure we've talked back and forth on the FGG forums. I can say for sure that there are 5e versions of some cool things on the way (Rappan Athuk and Tome of Horrors Complete) and there are quite a few more being considered by certain Frog Gods that I'm familiar with. :)

Don't forget Dying Earth. Add me to the list of people who would love to see the DCC 3.x redone for 5e. I've been planning on converting DCC 51 & 51.5 (Castle Whiterock) to 5e but haven't had time yet.
Barghest, Champion, Conjurer, Enchanter, Evoker, Illusionist, Leucrotta, Martial Arts Adept, Necromancer, and Transmuter are from Volo's Guide to Monsters. The rest appear to be new (I didn't look at the list in the MM so I could have missed some).
November is the time for lore/mechanics/expansion books - 11/3/15 was Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide and 11/15/16 was Volo's Guide to Monsters. September has been the time for the APs - Storm King's Thunder, Rage of Demons, Rise of Tiamat (I think this was actually October because Monster Manual...
DnDBeyond - will characters be able to be exported? In XML or JSON? It would be great if they could be exported and imported into a VTT like Fantasy Grounds. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and participate in an informal Q&A. :)
Shawn Carman - I backed their last Kickstarter, Trudvang Chronicles, and that was one of the prime concerns backers brought up - translation issues. The translators they hired are experienced in translating into English and are native English speakers. They have also been working with some of...
No chance. Much like MNblockhead mentioned above, my players need to fear death, and not just when starting out. They also need to learn that they should run from some situations instead of trying to stand and fight. The fear of death keeps them on edge and makes them think situations through...
I pinged NikChick on Twitter asking if Winter 2018 meant early or late in the year and she did confirm early. I'm looking forward to this and will definitely be backing the Kickstarter.
Good call. I hadn't even thought of Fria Ligan. They've done a fantastic job with Mutant Year Zero and I'm excited for Coriolis and Tales from the Loop. I think they would do a bang up job with WFRPG.
While I would bet it is Modiphius, I think C7 would do a great job with the WFRPG license. Yggdrasil & Keltia are both very well done. I haven't read through any of the Lord of the Rings stuff but it wouldn't surprise me that it is high quality. I did find it interesting that Asmodee was...
G) None of the above.
None of them interested my players and after reading through them, none of them really interested me other than Strahd. I have taken pieces parts from them for use in my games, but most of my material is either homebrew or a mix of older Basic/AD&D or from 3PP like Frog...
The Coriolis PDF has only been released to backers in a pre-finalized format so far. I would have to check the last update for backers, but I believe they said it would be going out in final form to backers by the end of January, at which point then you'll likely see it appear for purchase.
