[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7737755, member: 1"] Thanks to [B]Stan Shinn[/B] [URL="https://plus.google.com/+StanShinn/posts/iHYy8RDYnmD"]over on Google+[/URL] for this scoop! WotC held a presentation at the GAMA trade show today, in which they covered both recent D&D performance (best year ever!), some previews of [I]Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes[/I], and a small hint towards... [I]Spelljammer?[/I][PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] [CENTER][ATTACH=FULL]111634[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Here's Stan's report, direct from the trade show: [HQ]"Interesting [I]Spelljammer [/I]and market news from the GAMA (Game Manufacturers Association) WOTC Seminar on March 13 in Reno (I’m there now). Mark Price talked about D&D and showed some pictures from inside the upcoming [I]Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes [/I]book. I have a few pictures (attached) prior to the [I]Mordenkainen’s[/I] slides, but they asked us not to take or share pictures of the [I]Mordenkainen’s[/I] book interior. They did show us a picture of a ‘Giff’ — a [I]Spelljammer[/I] creature, which will be in the book. He looked like a steampunk hippo with a blunderbuss. Regarding why the creature was in the book, he said “I’ll let you speculate wildly about what that may mean.” There was look of a wink in his eye so I’m pretty sure the hint was that Spelljammer is coming soon! Other news from the seminar: — 2017 was the best year for D&D ever in terms of sales — Year 3 of D&D sales is stronger than their first year — Actual play streaming is a key driver of D&D’s success, with 9 million users watching D&D on Twitch — 8.6 million Americans have played D&D in the last 12 months (they did not give stats for overseas)"[/HQ] It seems [I]Xanathar's Guide[/I] was the fastest selling product in D&D history! Wondering what [I]Spelljammer[/I] is? Imagine D&D (2nd Edition) in space, except the ships are magic flying sailing galleons, and space is a "phlogiston" they can sail in with magical helms, and each world is in its own "crystal sphere", and all of D&D's settings exist in the same universe, and you can fly between them. Image above is of the AD&D 2E [I]Spelljammer[/I] boxed set. Of course, it might not be that. It might just be a monster entry [I]Mordenkainen's Tome[/I], and nothing more.
