D&D 5E I think WotC has it backwards (re: story arcs)

I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the AP that comes after Rage over Drizzt at GenCon. At least give an idea of the theme/vilain. They are probably writting it right now. Well, the contrator is writting right now.

Giants.

Giants.

Psionic Giants!

Giants.

Probably, but the giants could be the second one of 2016 or come later (Mearls did say they had their stories done up til 2018 before Perkins said he was working on the next seven years of stories).

I'm still think that we will see an undead themed AP in 2016.

Except that they have straight up asked in the continuing polls if we would buy a boxed set.

They also asked us about Strength limits for female characters. I'd be disinclined to jump from "they asked us about it" to "it's happening".

They are considering them as products...

True, but considering them could mean, "well, if 90% of responses say they're wanted then we'll do one..."

I would not bet on all books going forwards...

No, indeed. Nor would I. My gut feeling is "no", but my gut has been wrong on more than one occasion. Like that time it suggested I should try octopus...
