Marathon, Broadway, and Catacomb: Upcoming D&D Products?

WotC has been using codenames for its upcoming products for some time, mainly to stop anybody figuring our what's in the pipeline. Those codenames end up as placeholders on bookstores and the like. Eagle-eyed reader Sean spotted some upcoming items on McNally Robinson, a Canadian bookstore's website.

The items spotted were a 192-page hardcover accessory codenamed "Marathon" (May 2018); a 256-page hardcover adventure codenamed "Broadway" (September 2018), and another 256-page hardcover adventure codenamed "Catacomb" (November 2018). There's also a set of "Broadway" dice.

Past codenames have included "Labyrinth", which turned out to be Tomb of Annihilation, and "Dust", "Midway", "Cloak", and "Dagger".

Let the speculation begin!

I think it'll be much slower than that.

Here are some pertinent quotes from Mike:










With that in mind, I honestly can't see us getting anything more than another playtest version of the mystic late next year.

From Mearls comments here, and Crawford's a couple weeks ago on Sage Advice, I feel very, very confident in predicting that neither new class will get a finalized in product form in the next year.

In fact, I would go so far as to predict no new published class material in 2018, unless they release Star Frontiers or an official Magic RPG.

My predictions:

Marathon = planar/settings supplement

Broadway & Catacombs = massive 2-part adventure sequence set in Waterdeep and Undermountain

Except they have said, recently, that they wouldn't do any two-part adventures any time soon. I doubt they are bith Adventure books, but it f they are, I reckon they will be unrelated.

The first link doesn't work anymore for me. It seems that they have removed the product.

Maybe they are going to update that product's entry soon??
I have taken a look at past years product announcements and the dates were between January 5th and January 20th.
I think we will have the official announcement of the Marathon product this week, next week at the most.

On the other hand, all previous Spring releases were in March-early April, while Marathon is scheduled for end of May-Mid June, so it seems a bit early for an announcement, assuming they want to keep their usual 2-3 months between announcement and release.

So, apparently Nathan Stewart let it be known in his latest fireside chat that "Marathon" will be announced n February 6th.
