[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6623048, member: 37579"] I honestly no longer know. I originally thought we'd get a new themed sourcebook with each storyline, but that expectation went out the window. I also expected one sourcebook every year, but they could surprise us and not even do that. Two storylines a year with a free PDF of content varying depending on the storyline. I think we'll see fewer races this time (maybe just kobolds and goblins) but also some more subclasses and maybe a background or two. Or not. This year could be almost anything. It's unlikely we'll see psionics, as that will likely be playtested publically. I expect that next year in 2016. At the earliest. For this year's GenCon I expect a Forgotten Realms book. It's needed and people are curious. But this might also take longer than six months, so it might come out much later. Making a setting book is a lot of work... It's too soon for a second monster book. We need more time to use what we have and see how current monsters handle. A second monster book should be more like the 4e MM3 where the math is tighter and abilities improved. Or they could just release the adventure. It could happen. They might not have anything else. I expect the OGL is dead. It's been too long, which means it just isn't a priority for the people at WotC or Hasbro. The window of relevance for it has passed, so even if it comes out all the 3PP who had been planning books would have moved onto other projects or worked around the lack of a licence and produced stuff using the 3e OGL. It'll be a long time before anything useful emerges. It's also too soon to see what will happen with Dragon+. They might do some cool stuff with the app, or they might just slowly cease updating as it ceases to be a priority, no longer being new and not being a source of revenue. [/QUOTE]
