Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

There was a Dragonlance videogame whose title was "Champions of Krynn".

The mystic/psion class should appear before in a generic sourcebook style "Tasha's guide". Other possibility is mystic class in Tasha' and the variant "psion" in DS.

If Hasbro liked some ideas by the team of profesiona scripwritters hired by the production of Dragonlance, this could suffer a serious retcon. Not only about warlocks and sorcerers, or aasimars and goliaths but for example the ursine(bearfolk) could become relatively common because these are perfect for merchandising. We could use the excuse they are from Taladas. That third and secret continent could be the joker-card, allowing for example the gem dragons. The Krynnspace could be totally retconected and we could blame Takishis like a secondary effect of the war of the souls.

I like the idea of the alternate apocaliptic future where Raistlin became a god like a planar layer within the Abyss, or a planar bridge between the Krynn Shadowfeel and the Abyss. This place could be perfect if you want to add some touch of new-weird-fiction.

Other layer of the Abyss would be the timeline where Chaos won and now this is the home of fire and frost dragons but maybe other intruders, the catastrophic and infernal dragons, with their own cults of mortals.

Within the Krynn Shadowfell a dark domain would be the alternate timeline where the kingpriest is the one god, but his divine power is a poisoned gift when they have to face interplanar intruders like the Voldoni empire(Spelljammer faction), the Phyresians(Magic: the Gathering) or defiler spellcasters from Athas(Dark Sun). There is other dark domain with spider-dragons (and spidertouched draconians).

My opinion is the character of the next generation during the age of mortals are still canon, even if the timeline was rewritten.

* Other interesting plot twist there is a "clon" Krynn but this is more like a mindscape (let's read the novel "Tanis: the shadow years"). The fun part if this Krynn is the place where could happen the D&D version of "chuanshun or literary tensei" (reincarnation within a fictional work).

I remember that videogame because it appeared in the Spanish (and now closed) magazine about videogames "Micromania" (OMG! I was in High School!) but not the title. I only goggled "D&D Champion".

A Dragonlance videogame is possible today but these need a lot of time and money. I doubt "season of champions" were linked to a unnanounced videogame.

A couple of books about divine spellcasters is possible but the logic and marketing strategy should advice about martial or stealth classes. And we should have been one UA article about divine spellcasters.

There was (Q4 2025) a UA with subclasses from PH and Tasha's Guide: Oathbreaker Paladin, Cavalier Fighter, Path of the Ancestral Guardian (now known as the Path of the Spiritual Guardian Barbarian), Path of the Storm Herald Barbarian and Way of the Drunken Master (now renamed the Warrior of Intoxication Monk).

There was an article about modern magic this was more a magitek setting style Kamiwaga: Neon Dinasty. (Digital revolution hadn't arrived yet to New-Cappena, had it?)

* A reedition of Gamma World is possible but it would be more playtesting. We should see more furry playable species and update of sci-fi crunch (nanotechnology, digital inmortality, new materials, Telomere restoration for eternal youth).
 

Good thoughts in general, but this part is close to the opposite of the case: into heir articles at the tike of the revisits they specifically said that some of the options nto being revisited had been so green-marked that they had no further questions for players on the.
Not sure I explained it right, but I'm assuming anything we didn't get a second take at was either strong green OR strong red. We didn't get the psi warper because it was already good, but we also didn't get a second pdk either. So I'm assuming most of the stuff will be green and make it to print, but I can't rule out something getting dropped either.

Cavalier?.
That's about the only thing, and to be fair it's not even that good a Knight of Solomnia fit. Regardless, the rest of those PrCs didn't fit. (Not enough to showcase in a book) And the lunar sorcerer is still AWOL.

Picture of Lord Soth aside, I think the odds of the December book being Dragonlance is less than 1%.
 

Given the pitfalls of possible themes in Dark Sun and how little WotC wants to get into nuanced aspects of the game that would take a lot of sidebars and discussions about what to include and not include table by table to do responsibly, I wouldn't be shocked if someone said didn't say, "what if we make Dark Sun all about participating in gladitorial fights? We'll hyper focus on that ONE aspect of the setting." Especially if they're just going to tie defiling magic into the class feature of a single sorcerer subclass.

I have a hard time thinking, brand alignment notwithstanding, that prestige TV writing rooms or screenplay writers for a movie would be working dilligently with game designers to make sure that the visual storytelling aligns with game mechanics or histories of the setting in products. At best, it probably means giving game designers a better timeline of what stage of production something is in so you don't release a tie in produce three or four years before the product it ties into, or so you can actually have a tie in product to align with a movie or something like that, hypothetically.

I think the case for Dark Sun is stronger on the UA front, but putting Lord Soth there shoots the odds for Dragonlance far above 1% in my book, along with the fact that WotC is pushing Dragonlance hard in Idle Champions this year.
I am a bit disappointed that we get another Ravenloft book again, the last one doesn't feel that old.
2016 > 2021 > 2026

Also, similar to Forge of the Artificer, this is likely a supplement rather than a replacement.
