My prediction for the not-so-far future related to this UA: Draconomicon as a hardcover book. Dragonlance as a DMsGuild PDF (for starters like they did Eberron, to test the waters) Maybe they'll double down and make them both release in the same month, since they're so thematically related...

The cast for the DnD movie seems fine, but no actor can do well if given a terrible script and direction. I'm neither joyed nor disappointed with the announced director/writer team since they've worked on some decent projects, but it's hard to say how their previous experience will mesh with...

Water and its ingredients may be common on habitable planets, but a space empire can't just set up strategic outposts on habitable planets, otherwise there would be gaps in its border security. Transportation of large quantities of water might very well be necessary during space wars, which can...

Water is one of the most vital resources for maintaining a civilization, and doesn't necessarily appear in large enough quantities to be cheap everywhere one goes. Transportation of water can be a hassle, so space empires might fight over natural water reservoirs as prime strategic locations...

Wasn't it announced that a setting book or two would be coming this year? Perhaps Ravenloft will have a new guide by December. Not necessarily a hardcover - they might go the waters-testing route of pdf like they did for Eberron.

Since Ed Greenwood and other authors have had to keep mum about certain subjects due to NDAs, there would have to be a lore bible of sorts compiling all the legally sealed information, at least in the hands of the legal department at WotC.

Since it's a fighter, one particular spell that makes sense is Heroism. A level 8 Heroism would temporarily protect the whole party against being frightened as well as shore up everyone's hit points with temporary hit points gained per round. The fighter, not knowing much about magic, prays for...

If there's no contract, and no submittable evidence of commissioning work, then this could be as simple as an amateur getting pranked on the internet by a third party, or a person with mental health issues making up things.

Component requirements and spell limitations are not the same thing. As Resurrection is a 7th level spell, it wouldn't be beyond the limits of an 8th level spell to extend the duration limit of death on the corpse. Too far though and you might end up going beyond the limits of an 8th level...

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned [CHAOS BEASTS] up to now. Aberrantly organic as opposed to the cold, mechanical nature of Modrons. No definable form or shape as opposed to the highly purposed structures of the Modrons. A mess of primitive instincts as opposed to the programmed...

I would like to see the timeline advanced while connecting the history of the setting with the greater multiverse. Perhaps a tidbit about Takhisis being an aspect of Tiamat, and Paladine being an aspect of Bahamut. Some lore about how the gods of Krynn participated in the ancient Dawn War and...

The videogame Final Fantasy VI has a high fantasy setting that is arguably experiencing an Industrial Revolution. Magic has been militarized and enhanced with machines that can store magical energy as well as utilize magic weapons of great destructive capability. Mechanical vehicles that run on...

Big Muppet Energy in the trailer.

They are siblings and they have a third sibling named Planko. One day Planko fell ill with a magical chronic disease that is historically immune to clerical magic. The two had a falling out over how to raise the money needed for the medicine to treat Planko. As such, they argue over each other's...

There could also be rules and restrictions around spells with potentially dangerous effects such as fireball or lightning bolt, based on local laws. One could compare such controls to background checks for firearms. Invisibility type spells might also be restricted, due to a past incident...

There's a current story arc in the Fairy Tail sequel manga series that is involving a massive dragon upon which towns have been constructed. That might be useful for people trying to figure out how to approach a dragon as a dungeon. Many dungeons after all started out as something other than a...

Considering how stealing and selling pirated DMsGuild content is also stealing from WotC, owned by mega-corporation Hasbro (they take a cut of every sale), I don't think this Clockwork guy has a very bright future ahead of him.

Whisper it five times while facing a mirror and you'll get a special treat.

They're actually not. Unlike certain other similar spells, Find Steed does not specify that the steed obeys to the best of its ability. It is able to disobey orders if it feels a need to, especially if the player decides to make the PC abusive with commands. It's easy to mix up Find Steed with...

There are situations in which the steed could be trapped such as an inverted magic circle, at which point some devious necromancer could attempt to corrupt or tear apart the steed's very existence in the name of research. There are monsters that could devour souls, preventing the steed from...
