The October unannounced book first mentioned by WotC's Ray Winninger in June will be revealed at 3pm ET (8pm BST) on Friday. This book joins The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos as the next three official D&D releases this year.

D&D 5E - Ray Winninger mentions third project!

WotC's Ray Winninger has confirmed that another D&D release, by James Wyatt, will be released in between Witchlight (September) and Strixhaven (November). Strixhaven was Amanda Hamon's project, while Witchlight is Chris Perkins'. That assumes he's not referring to the Feywild accessory kit in...

D&D 5E - My guess for the other D&D book this year... Draconomicon!

We know the fifth major product this year will be James Wyatt‘s as-yet unannounced project, and we know it will be coming out this year between Witchlight and Strixhaven. Wyatt co-wrote the Draconomicon for 3E. There have been two recent dragon-themed Unearthed Arcanas — dragon-themed...

1.25 pounds, no page count yet.

Ravenloft is listed as 2.1 pounds and that’s 256 pages. So about 1/4 of that or a softback.

You can never go by weight on Amazon, it never has any relation to the actual book size.

I noticed AFR mentioned, maybe they will tell us something about the new characters in the set that they thought were important enough to bump beloved, important setting characters for.

I think I read somewhere that the new characters are just meant to represent the "stand-in adventuring group" and are not going to be major characters in books/products.

I bet it's going to be a new campaign setting featuring a Mimic that takes on the guise of an ancient and destroyed (but beloved) kingdom. The PCs will need to fight against this Mimic and its minions before it sullies the good name of the ancient kingdom to such a degree that even the old stories will be tainted.

I think they mentioned that it wasn't going to be one of the setting books

Where did they say it wouldn't be Dark Sun?

Where did they say it wouldn't be Dark Sun?

I think Raunalyn is saying that this book won't be a campaign setting of any sort, not that it specifically wasn't going to be Dark Sun. I vaguely recall someone at the last D&D Live event mentioning this - that three classic campaign settings were coming, but that this product wasn't one of them.

They are probably the PCs of the design team!

The two classic settings are coming in 2022. The October book will not be a classic campaign setting.

D&D 5E - WotC: 5 D&D Settings In Development?

WotC's Ray Winninger spoke a little about some upcoming D&D settings -- two classic settings are coming in 2022 in formats we haven't seen before, and two brand new (not Magic: the Gathering) settings are also in development, as well as return to a setting they've already covered in 5E. He does...

Their names are even from the suggested names lists from the PHB.
