D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

[Paul Farquhar]

I would not have included White Plume in the first place. Whichever ones I would include, I would have updated similar to what they did with the Infinite Staircase however, rather than taking something that is a pretty poor adventure to begin with and not changing anything about it, just updating some stat blocks and some maps.

Nostalgia should not be the only reason to take a look at an adventure, even if it might be a consideration when it comes to which adventures get selected.

I would argue that White Plume is historically important as the first of its kind, and it’s ripples are still felt.

That's an argument for it being in some sort of historical preservation project, like Goodman Games' OAR series, rather getting sort of reprinted (new maps, new stats, etc.) in a very simple WotC book.

(And, re: OAR, White Plume Mountain is one where the multiple printings of the adventure are distinct, with the famous Erol Otus map not appearing until later printings, for instance.)

I don’t care about historical importance, when I take a plane I’d certainly avoid the Kitty Hawk Flyer at all cost, even if it was historically important.

Not sure I am feeling any ripples either.
