D&D 5E March's D&D Book To Be Announced On January 9th

A mysterious entry has appeared on Amazon! With a product title of "Dungeons & Dragons March Release Book (Title announced January 9th)" and a release date of March 17th, 2020, this $49.95 hardcover release will be revealed in under a week!

The description reads "Your first look at the next D&D title comes on January 9th! Keep an eye on wherever you get your D&D news for a preview of the book."

Could there be a clue in the dice being released on the same day? Laeral Silverhand's Explorer's Kit is described as "Dice and miscellany for the world's greatest roleplaying game" for $29.99. We'll find out on Thursday!

Who's Laeral Silverhand? She's a prolific creator of magic items from Waterdeep, and one of the most powerful wizards in the Forgotten Realms. She's one of the Seven Sisters, introduced in 1987's Forgotten Realms boxed set, although Laeral herself wasn't described in that product. Ed Greenwood'sThe Seven Sisters supplement fully detailed them in 1995. Laeral and Khlben 'Blackstaff' Arunsun led a group called the Moonstars. In 5th edition, she appears in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

Evidence for Eberron... There's a big Eberron banner for the AL adventure Rising from the Last War. Also, Gond's gear and the planar symbol of Mechanus usually are represented with 8-spokes. Whereas the gear on the Eberron product has 10-spokes like this one.

Evidence for Planescape... Dragon+ Issue 29 cover, and bit from recent Dragon Talk where Wolfgang Baur mentioned working with David "Zeb" Cook on something that rhymed with Planescape, a Kobold Press Warlock Lair product.

Tbf I don't think the spoke has anything to do with the monday product, and actually is a hint to the product being announced after that one, or is referencing the last product (Rising from the Last War).

I love all other forms of dairy, but, cheesecake, I just don't get it.

You don't understand cheesecake with your mind, you understand it with your soul.

A wise choice.

You don't understand cheesecake with your mind, you understand it with your soul.

My soul is weary from Mountain Dew consumption, maybe I've dulled my Cheesecake sense.

My theory is that Eberron will have a crossover with Lantan and the My Little Pony universe of Equestria, with villains who combine the technology of stormtroopers and Modrons with d20 Gamma World versions of Transformers and giant anime Waifus as a class option.

Clearly somebody on DMGuilds needs to get up in on this. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Boy, the coloration of that logo certainly has a planescape vibe:

And despite people complaining about it, we DO have The Revived via UA.

It's the other critical role setting with Exandia. I knew something like this was coming so since Exandia was mentioned in BG: DiA, but not when, and the dice set, UA, and cog Ampersand threw me off.
