How far in advance do you expect them to announce new products? They announced 5E two and a half years before the PHB was released, but I think we can agree that won't be the norm going forward. Going off of Tyranny of Dragons and Elemental Evil, they're going with about a six month leadup from...

I get that, but they've given us some sense of that - an Alice in Wonderland inspired adventure and sourcebook later in the year, probably Q4. Sure they've not officially given us titles or other details yet, but they just revealed the cover art for the Elemental Evil books for crying out loud -...

Right, and there's nothing wrong with speculation, I've done plenty of it myself the last few years. The problem is that people are taking speculative assumption as facts and building further assumptions on them. People are agonizing about the fact that we've only been told about four new books...

What exactly are people expecting to hear, and how far in advance do you expect to hear it? I.e., what if Trevor Kidd from WotC were to respond to this thread and say, "I asked Mike, and he asked his boss, and I've been given permission to list all of our 2015 products for you: The deluxe DM...

Traditional, formal one-on-one combat to the death over the last morsel of honey cake according to the strictest standards of the Infernal Code Duelo, on the other hand make for a common popular form of mid-course entertainment in the Nine Hells...

...may have spent the last ~5 min. on said wild chase. Apology accepted! I really shouldn't EN World at work.

Was it this pic of Chris Perkin's DMing at Gamehole Con? Being an internet detective is fun.

There's definitely another panel on the other side of the Halfling, and comparing it with this picture of the front of the screen, you're correct - there's definitely 4 panels altogether. Which has me feeling much more positive about it. With another panel and a half to work with I'm sure a lot...

Yeah, it's under $10 on Amazon so it's likely that is the route I'll take with it... I'm hoping there's more to it off camera, but worst case scenario I'll tape my own version over the inside.

I did a Google image search and turned up an interior shot here: http://www.dicejockey.com/2014/11/gamehole-con-day-1/ I'll be honest, I was hoping for more content on the inside. This image doesn't show the whole thing, but there's too much unused space and I'm not seeing many of the tables...

I'd say my preferred level of lethality is a tug-of-war between both those extremes - 1), I want death to always be a legitimate threat to the PCs, as that supports both willing-suspension-of-disbelief and the kind of stories I want to tell, and 2) I want any given character to have good odds of...

Too much cheese right before bed, in my experience.

If I was going to reboot my campaign, I'd have druids be the bad guys. There's a great CR spread there too - blights and charmed animals savagely attacking you as you trek through druid territory, savage wildmen (Tribal Warriors and Bersekers) that the druids have taken in as their own after...

Oh, I've no doubt they've gotten considerably farther than loose notes lying around - they posted a relatively solid skeleton of the system in Legends & Lore earlier this year, and they were still talking about including it in the DMG just a couple of months ago - but the entire reason they gave...

Eh, I've seen others speculate the same but I don't buy it. The humanoid form and Gulthias tree lore, it's intelligence and capacity for speech, and the fact that IMO the assassin vine should be a tad deadlier than CR 1/2 means they're separate entities in my campaign. YMMV!

Nice list so far - a few that I'd add: Ant Lion Assassin Vine Babau Choker Dracolisk Green Slime Grues Ironmaw Jann And then Giant Ants in the appendix I guess. Not to mention that any edition that's lacking the Rot Grub, Ear Seeker and Throat Leech isn't REAL D&D!!1! ... I was going to type...

The edition as a whole? Virtually certain... eventually. From the previews we've seen so far however, the DMG's not likely to be contain them. Other products down the line will have to provide them. Personally, I'm fine with that - I'd rather be lacking an unknown new item, which I may or may...

I'd have been a little more cynical, but I'm honestly surprised how many MM critters they've already made freely available in Basic and the supplements. I'd not be at all surprised if new monsters first see daylight in Basic - I'm just expecting a hardcover MM2 at some point with some exclusives...

Heh, I think we're looking at the same statements and coming to opposite conclusions. Future Monster Manuals (or maybe they'll avoid calling it the MM2; "Fiend Folio" seems likely) are just about the only non-adventure-path related splatbooks I do see them putting out. There's simply too much...

Well, they wouldn't - which is why I suspect we won't see a Planescape adventure path (or any such product requiring dozens of new monsters) until the release of the MM2. That would contain the majority of the Outsiders missing from the first MM, and stragglers could then be included in the...
