[QUOTE="Urriak, post: 7780099, member: 6996219"] Interesting thoughts! The first one is pretty much baked in, though I'm hoping the big adventure showcases the other devils as well as Zariel. Also I suspect that although it's a follow-up to Out of the Abyss, it will be less a sequel and have more indirect links like Tiamat to Storm King to tomb of Annihilation. Setting book being Eberron also seems almost 100%, so much of that work is already completed. Hopefully comes with new art and stuff. I don't know what else the box-set could be other than Eberron, but I also don't know how much bigger it will be than say Phandelver. Slim rulebook for the classes and spells, a 1-5 level adventure including maps and monsters, Eberron pre-made characters sheets. I don't think they'll add too much more than that, partners can sell minis and other bits and bobs (Beatle and Grimm's). 4th product in my mind can be literally anything. It could be a new monster/lore book specific to Eberron in the style of Volo's Guide/Mordenkainen. I don't know how much more they could add in a Xanathar's Guide book, but I still think it's possible especially if they plug in more Eberron stuff. And it can also be a setting book. If it is a setting book, I kind of doubt it's going to be a Magic Setting that isn't already done in a Planeshift. It would be easy to do but the team seems more interested in covering content that is mostly unexplored in 5e, purposefully leaving gaps in some areas to fill in later. For example, Mordenkainen's could have easily used main Archdevils but instead didn't stat them, I suspect to cover them in the Descent. Why make a product that is already for free in a Planeshift (even if they will obviously add more). I think this case is especially true for settings like Innistrad that are just Ravenloft but slightly different. That still leaves room for Magic settings like Tarkir (which is kind of 3 settings in one with their wonky timelines) or Theros (because it's just unique). Spelljammer also makes sense because of previous content hinting at it, as does Planescape for the same reason. I'll add maybe Greyhawk as there have been some hints in past books and Dragon talk towards it, but that could just because Greyhawk is so pervasive in D&D. Other setting like Dragonlance, Dark Sun or Mystara probably need a more robust release so I doubt it's them (also no hints towards them). [/QUOTE]
