Anyone going to this?

What do you expect or hope far from this panel.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

I wonder if this will be where the official announcement of the Netflix live action Forgotten Realms show will be made. Also some hints at BG4 announcement might be coming.

IIRC Netflix has two D&D projects they have the rights to.

They have the former Paramount project now. They also supposedly have the rights to BG3 in live action. Of note, IMDB now redirects the Rawson Marshall Thurber project to the Crevello-Levy project. This may mean that all live action work (non-BG) are unified.

This weekend is Tudum, their annual lookahead. I would expect news about one or both of those projects

Previews of the RPG books, perhaps some insight into their plans for novels, comic, and other future tie-ins.

That is an interesting possibility.

So we could get The Forgotten Realms and Baldur's Gate TV (I don't think they'd call the TV show Baldur's Gate 3, it'd confuse folks).

Maybe not too much, too soon: Netflix announced they had secured the license for the Chronicles of Narnia seven years ago, and Greta Gerwig's Magician's Nephew isn't coming out till next year. Big sci-fi/fantasy stuff can take a while to cook for TV and film.

Yeah, we could find out more about Fallbacks: Dealing With Dragons the Bŕèezy novel, the promised D&D comics (we already know about Elspeth 3 comic arc MtG side).

It's been years since the live action Baldur's Gate talk started, and the first iteration of The Forgotten Realms, so it's not brand new.

No,but even of they announce a thing, it may simply be "In the works!" still.

I was wrong. No new projects announced, just dates and teasers/trailers for previously announced things
