Rising from the Last War is 90% usable: the lore isn't changing meaningfully, much of the magic items are fine, all the graphs and tables still work, etc. what 2024 has changed is all mechanics: dragonmarks don't work in 2024 because there is no subrace anymore. Artificer needed a glow up to match the pretty updates the PHB classes got. The warforged and kalshatar still had racial ASIs for Flame's Sake! FotA is a patch for RftLW disguised as a supplement. There will be a few new things I wager, but the majority of it is to replace the parts of Rising that are outdated and not in step with the new PHB with ones that are. I don't expect anything more than a replacement and expansion for the PC options and monsters from Rising and a few extras like the bastion options. Frankly, I'm perfectly fine if they want to do the exact same thing for Ravenloft, Dragonlance, Spelljammer and Planescape too.</blockquote>
