[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6366567, member: 59082"] While it seems that 5E product will be few and far between, at least from Wizards of the Coast, I thought it would be fun to see what people most hope to see. My wishlist: [B]Worlds of D&D Book [/B]@DnDPhilmont started a thread about this, although I had also mentioned something very similar a few years back.
