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

[agrayday]

Given the unusual silence regarding product releases—which might just be my own perception—I’m curious if these departures are a reaction to shifting delivery schedules. It makes me wonder if the current lack of announcements is a result of that internal disruption; perhaps the company has already cycled through the projects those two individuals were overseeing.

@FitzTheRuke or another retailer would probably be able to answer that question best.

I can and will but I am not back at work until Tuesday! (With one caveat: I will have to check when we last replaced copies of Strahd. They might not be the latest printing).

@Whizbang Dustyboots, I can't imagine that they'd spend time updating classic 5e books when the point of "backwards compatibility" was done to avoid that. And if they did, I would expect it to come in the form of remixes, like replacing Lost Mines with Phandelver & Below (though I hope they learned their lesson there on how NOT to execute a remix).

It's possible that they will eventually do some updates along the lines of Strahd Revamped and Tyranny of Dragons (how it fused the two original books along with updating) but I don't think they'll spend much effort on it at any given time. We will see.

Redoing CoS would be absolutely terrible. The is nothing in the current version that doesn’t work just fine with the 2024 rules. And every potential player knows every encounter like the back of their hand anyway.

I would like to see a new Ravenloft adventure, or a revamp of House on Gryphon Hill.

I would like another classic anthology that ends with Queen of the Demonweb pits.

There's been a massive influx of D&D players just in the last three months

Chris Cox gets his new karatur book or officially announced it and included optional stuff
Agreed sketchy source

I feel ashamed or clicking on that link.
It's filled with random assertions, unsupported claims, and some things are just lies.

This person and their comments are very, very angry about 2024 rules

I haven't watched any of their videos, but the name "Dungeons and Discourse" alone sets off alarm bells...
