[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8425007, member: 5948"] I'm a bit lukewarm on the upcoming releases too, to be honest. Witchlight - I'm a player rather than a GM at this point, and we'll be starting a new campaign soon. Not going to buy this cos i might end up playing it! Strixhaven I was very keen on, but it appears a lot of pagecount will be eaten up by adventures, which is something i really hate in my setting books. Will probably buy it anyway. Fizban's, well, I like a good monster book, but ALL dragons is a bit same-y. Undecided. Mordenkainen's ... there's probably going to be an awful lot of reprints here, but hopefully we'll have some new stuff (and preferably some new racial feats, monsters etc) here too. I'll wait a bit on this one.. The new CR adventure, well, I'm disappointed to be honest cos as i said, we're going to need a new adventure to start in a few months and i was really hoping the new release was going to be the anticipated/legendary/apocryphal Lantan/Spelljammer one. But again, I won't buy it cos I might end up playing it. Still, while WotCs recent and planned output has been pretty hit or miss for me, there's loads of third-party stuff filling in the gaps. My Southlands, Sina Una, and Iron Kingdoms kickstarter reward hardcopies should be arriving in the next few weeks, then by April or so next year there'll also be Boricubos, Tanares, and Beast World. The great thing about modern D&D is that if WotC isn't releasing stuff that grabs you, there's always someone else... And we do KNOW that there's two classic settings being released this year. Sheer law of averages says there'll be one of thos that I'm very keen on. And while i'm a bit each-way on how Witchlight and Strixhaven will work as D&D settings/campaigns, I'm glad they were made because they represent WotC pushing the envelope of what D&D can be, which indicates a willingness to take risks that augurs well for the settings like Dark Sun that I DO want to see down the line.
