I assume "thrilling challenges" is interpretating the new stealth rules?

I'll see if we get more in the "Future of D&D" beyond "Here's some more details from the DMG!". It feels like they need to at least hint about where the 7 excluded subclasses from the 2014 PHB might end up, and common concerns like "What about the Artificer" and popular things from previous books that didn't make the cut.

This is about the time when they have, on occasion, gone over the next year of forthcoming products. Might see details on post-Core products, at least big picture things like titles and concepts.

Since they explicitly stated including what awaits your heroes in addition to the releases of the remaining 2024 Core Rulebooks I'm assuming they are going to talk about releases further out.

Yep, we're probably getting at least a rough road map for 2025, and probably some idea of some post-MM products.

 

[DarkCrisis]

It's going to be great. I can't wait to see how WotC innovates such a fine fantasy hero story simulator. With the wealth of worlds and lore at it's fingertips that they heedlessly pay respect to, I'm sure many fine expansions books and well written adventures will keep the game going for years to come.

And I'm sure a good chunk of their time and money will go to make playing on DDB the preferred service to use whether you like it or not because of course you will come to like it. It's the best!

I will definitely be tuning in!

I was wondering how long before the disgruntled people show up and turn this into a lot of complaining but I see the over/under should have been set at less than 7.

Agreed. Hopefully we will get some information on when the subclasses that didn’t make the PHB will show up.
