D&D 5E Revisited Setting News: Its not the 2023 Classic setting, but rather for 2024

[Demetrios1453]

It is mainly a Setting book: the four Adventure Modules are about a quarter of the book.

Uh, 138 pages out of 224 are the four adventures, which is 61.6% of the book.

Edit: I see someone has already mentioned this.

Btw, is there like a D&D Live event thing coming around soon? They usually have some big event, digital during COVID, where they cover the upcoming year's stuff.

I assume they'd formally announce the Spelljammer, Dragonlance, and box set there. Along with anything else if it exists.

Not announced at the moment, but we are due for a Dragon+ sometime soon...

Yeah, I got the proportion backwards.

To be honest, I think a Ghosts of Saltmarsh-style treatment of Spelljammer would be pretty neat. Ghosts of Saltmarsh was an unexpected favorite of mine in 5E, so "Saltmarsh in space" is a winning pitch in my book. (Though I still might not buy if enough old-school Spelljammer fans feel alienated by any updates.)

You could do a Saltmarsh-style Spelljammer book that’s a mix of updated adventure, interstitial new elements traveling around, and bits of possibly jamming to other outside adventures.

Nobody's confirmed that it's an adventure path yet, yeah?

It could be an Anthology book a la Candlekeep Mysteries and Tales From the Yawning Portal, too (though I imagine, if Ghosts of Saltmarsh fits this same mold, that the next Anthology book would be 2023). It also could be just a setting released in June, a la Mythic Odysseys of Theros.

What we're not getting is the next AL season until August/September, especially given that Critical Role: Call From the Neverdeep is our Spring (non-AL) adventure path. And it's HIGHLY unlikely that the AL is taking a sojourn to Krynnspace for this year's AL season. I also think the timing suggests that DragonLance is a Q4 release, with Spelljammer a Q2 release. So we'll get our Adventure Module in September like usual, Spelljammer or DragonLance in a brand new format and the other in a normal setting or anthology format, with Spelljammer in May/June (likely June to give space for the solo-release of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse). Then Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Coast in July or August, and then AL-related module in August/September, with DragonLance in October/November/December. And probably at least one more NEW product in Q4, and at least one holiday gift-set/special edition set in Q4, too.

Spelljammer will be not (only) modules and adventures but we will see a player's handbook. Let's rebember there were a good number of PC races in the UA playtesting.

I love the more obvious (maybe) style of winks and nudges. Teaser.

I say have each module within the adventure anthology take place on a different planet of Realmspace.

Perhaps start with Lantan, move towards the Mercury-equivalent, then swing back around to the Tears of Selune and move outward.
