What will WotC do when they don't have Stranger Things to help prop them up?

I want to be excited for D&D, I really do, but there is nothing on the slate that isn't a rehash of a previous product in theme or topic.

We have a new MTG setting book coming next year at some point. We otherwise don't know anything other than this year's schedule, which is intentionally weighted with nostalgia bait for the anniversary.

The only other Stranger Things boxed set was 7 years ago. I think any claim that Stranger Things is propping up D&D is… hard to support.

What anniversary? The 50th anniversary that they did nothing for?

Too much to unpack there. That’s a very reductive view though.

Wouldn't know. I don’t watch clickbait YouTube.

I think I'm just salty with a lot of WOTC. My apologies for thread crapping
