    I do not remember how much of the rules in the Essentials it was, but the sidekicks were new. But you're right, we are circling so I won't push any further.

    I'm getting deja-vu here of when folks were saying the Essentials Kit was not a main product, we'll get another book instead, and then that didn't happen. I mean, the Essentials was almost all new material. The new Stormwreck box I think will probably be almost all new material.

    I don't know why we should consider Stormwreck an extra though. It's unlikely the D&D team considers it one, they have to make the thing.

    Last year it was Witchlight in September, Fizban's in October, Strixhaven in November (pushed to December). Still a robust schedule, but not two in a month.

    I'll concede it's possible. But it seems like the release schedule so far is March, May, June, August. There will also be a box, and another book, both probably coming after August (if it was before their amazon pages should've sprung up by now). That's a four-month period for two products. It's...

    Delays typically mean more delays. A movie delayed to December means that the studio's movie planned for December is also delayed, and so on. I imagine WotC doesn't like when too many products are released at once to cannibalize sales.

    Yeah ironically to explain something that doesn't exist, I am having to use terms that also don't exist! :giggle:

    I mean, maybe that will happen. And although I do appreciate your threads and tables, I think you've consistently over-estimated numbers of books and settings? Maybe I'm wrong there, and it's not really a criticism, I'm just trying to set the bar low here so folks aren't disappointed. The only...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think the three books are for the August D&D placeholder?

    So, the Radiant Citadel, which is already announced, it THICKER than 2 inches? I mean, I don't think we can take these dimensions that seriously, they're obviously not accurate.

    Categories is something this forum has invented to label products. It is not a term used by the D&D team. It's just been repeated so many times here that folks think it is something official, which it's not. I remember the year the Essentials Kit was announced, and it absolutely was considered...

    They (well, the Essentials did, i dunno about R&M) counted as taking a product slot. I don't think I've heard the D&D team ever specify products in terms of hardcover vs. box unless explicitly asked in twitter threads (and I don't think even that has happened). The hardcover distinction is...

    The D&D absolutely counted the Essentials Kit as a main product when they announced it. Perkins was its lead. Debatably, the Rick & Morty box was too as Kate Welch (who worked for D&D as a lead at the time) wrote that box too.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think the three books are for the August D&D placeholder?

    Am I doing this wrong? This is Radiant Citadel; This is the Mystery Book; It's actually less thick? I'm not sure where the 2-inch thing is coming from. Plus, it's way lighter, making me think these are just placeholders.

    I know. Spelljammer is likely the August book, Dragonlance probably coming in November/December, that's 5 books and one boxset.

    So far; Netherdeep released in March. Monsters of the Multiverse will release in May. Radiant Citadel will release in June. Mystery book to be released in August. Box releases... sometime. So far this year, pattern is about a product every two months. Box could be released in...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you think the three books are for the August D&D placeholder?

    The dimensions look almost identical to another upcoming hardcover, Radiant Citadel. The item weight is almost certainly a placeholder though. Where is this idea of it being a slipcase coming from?

    D&D 5E (2014) New Capenna is releasing for Magic the Gathering... will it join D&D too?

    Looks like Kamigawa is getting minis. Could point to it getting a book, as if it's not I'm not sure the minis are useful for anything but collecting. Although, you could just use them anyway!
