D&D 5E New D&D Hardcover To Be Announced On The 23rd (Tomorrow)?

According to this page on Amazon.com, a new Dungeon & Dragons hardcover title for May will be announced tomorrow. Users in the US see the product below (those in the UK are seeing a Wizkids miniatures set instead).

So far signs look like Ravenloft, but we’ll know for sure tomorrow.

[Update -- also mentioned by Todd Kendrick, recently of D&D Beyond].

WotC has posted the below animation, which says “The Mist Beckons”.

Well, just remember WotC doesn’t want to be predictable except on their own terms.

Silent HIll: DND edition sounds great to me.

That's a ready made domain right there, scarier than anything from the original.

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

Esmeralda's Caravan to the Shadowfell

a campaing book ala Eberron, covering the big domains and tying the whole shadowfell vs plane of dread vs plane of shadows together.

Campaign book, with dreadlords, more monsters, spells, tales of van Richten, updated vistani, new player races. Possibly an introductory adventure.

That would be my guess/hope. Whatever it is, I’m betting this is the second of the two upcoming books with an updated take on the Vistani mentioned in that one blog post. Seems like a Demiplane of Dread campaign setting would be the perfect place to introduce the Vistani as planar nomads rather than servants of Strahd. It would also be easy enough to tie Innistrad in there if they wanted to.

I've dated a few WotCs in my time.

After the creepy clown hoaxes of a few years ago, my kids still periodically ask me every few months whether they were real. A murderous clown (fey? undead?) monster seems like a great idea for a 5E Ravenloft/horror adventures book.

Heckna, by Hit Point Press, is basically following this concept as it's about your party trying to survive a killer Carnival that is being runned by what seems to be an Eldritch Abomination/Fey/Something masquerading as a clown jester known as Heckna.

I need an excuse to use the "Death has no Master!" line from that movie too.
