Well, they have done both to an extent, and the MCU style multiverse has been a firmly established thing in D&D since the 70s.

It was implied around the time of the MM release that classic Duergar would also be here, IIRC.

Noted for latter, but anyone care to share the TL;DW? Just how successful are the numbers?

Oh, no, that's nostalgia. Their current willingness to entirely rewrite it is why they are taking advantage of it now: when Yawning Portal came out, the designers were not in a mood to edit the classics, ut probably knew better thant l try to sell Blrderlands unedited.

So, this information seems to give a really solid idea of the structure of the Adventures Guide.

OK, cool. That explains a lot, thank you!

I think your understanding seems reasonable, however in the quotes fromt he article they brought up the "10 regions" (called "10 locales" in one of the writejps) specifically in regards to the 50 Adventjres. That, and the of the 10 Backgrounds ties to the regions, we have already seen they...

So, tge five Gazateer regions are or are in five od the "regions" they mentioned in thenGame Informer article in relation to the 50 Adventures...

Any interesting information, like what the concept of the Adventjre was, that you were able to glean?

100% both: this Set has the same product lead as Quests from the Infinite Staircase, which went ehond fixing up those classic modules, at least Expedition to the Barriwr Peaks was fundamentally new Adve gjre written from scratch with a BBEG, rationale and plot. I think k what we will see here...

SCAG is 159 pages all told. Tge Adventures book has a big Bestiary with 40 stat blocks, a detailed Level 1-3 Adventure, 50 (!) quick prep Adventures in the style of the 2024 DMG glgrom Level 1-15, and 5 30-40 pages gazateers.

What stye of map, more detailed or the old school sketch style? Or a mix?

It is an interesting question how these Factions will be handled.

I mean, that's just core D&D now, as laid out in the DMG.

Greatwyrms cpmbine ghe consciousness of their echoes on multiple worlds.

The ivory fishing industry is, however, exclusive to Icewind Dale. The "other parts of the Heartlands" are jjat part of the am it of the Dalelands. Remember, "Locales" is the verbiage we got here.

I would imagine that the more traditionally nefarious factions for player facing options will offer more "Heroic" sects or versions, like the anti-Szass Tamrebel red Wizards or "Self Improvement Through Dragon" CotD. As noted on the OP, the Purple Drafon Knights haven't juat evolved into a more...

One aspect of this, it makes the Purple Drqgon Knights somewhat of a foul for the Cult of the Dragon, one of the other Factions in the books.

Groovy, love it. Interested to see how they tie this into the First World Dragon mythos, amd maybe connect to other Settings. Given that the Heroes Guide still has a couple Monster stat blocks per the Beyond contents, I wonder if the Dragon Companion rules from the Fighter playtest might be...

Shadowmasters Exile is the interesting odd duck here, though I agree it probably stands in for the Unapproachable East Asia a whole, bit the others are pretty clear: - Purple Dragon Squire and Harper Agent for their respective factions, interested to see what they do for the others in detail...
