Not much going on yet, but it is February. I expect to be fully sick of WotC 50th stuff by December.

Worth noting that this is coming bery soon: it will be run at GaryCon.Descent Into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. The classic 1982 module updated, and will include a tournament-style scoring system!
I mean, it is being written by Jon Peterson himself, and they did say thst it has all new recently discovered documents regarding the composition of the game. That along with a full size reproduction of the entire original game is pretty neat.The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons: 1970-1976. I mean, it's not like we don't have plenty of other great historical account already. Ahem.
...Obviously, I am concerned that the history book will have to be "sanded down" and "corporatized" to make sure everyone is happy, and won't have the truly interesting (and controversial) information that you can get from other books like Game Wizards. I suspect it will be nice, pleasant, and redundant for those who are familiar with the history.
No, it is not a one and done: they specified that it is the first in a series of scored competition modules they plan to do.While I think that including tournament-style scoring in Tsojcanth is a great idea, I have a feeling that it will be a one-and-done; if they don't make further competition modules, what's the point?
In the DMG.Where is the setting? A reboot of Greyhawk? Or a real FR setting? Either with an actual map?
Those are already available on the DMsGuild, usually in nice PoD even.Or something as simple as special, 50th Anniversary hardcover (or boxed) reprints of their classic rulebooks (such as 1e and B/X, or even all of them?)
