Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 8359797" data-attributes="member: 6796468">I would recommend a different format for 6e rather than DMG, PHB, MM.Core Rulebook: Baseline game design stuff. This is where the classes are, the DMG stuff is, how to build a character, and some basic races. This should be a weighty tome on the lines of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, and be 100% Setting Agnostic. Oh, sure, named spells or whatever, because it's fun to have those, but not needed.Monster Manual: Just a mess of generic monsters without a core setting identity. Still have depth to them (Like the upcoming A5e book is setting out to do) but no specific locales or callouts to previous settings.Player's HandbookS: World-specific races, class-kits, setting fluff, and additional rules. Player-Facing Campaign Settings.Dungeon Master's GuideS: World-specific systems, lore, setting design, and additional rules. DM-Facing Campaign Settings.Release the two books for each setting at the same time and available as a Bundle. With or without the Adventure for that season.So for an -example- release schedule for 2025-2026:2025Jan: Core Rulebook, Monster Manual, Old Adventure Set. Probably Greyhawk or Mystara, something presented as setting-agnostic.Feb: DM's Screen, Digital Bundle StuffMar: Setting Specific Novel, Setting Specific DiceApr: Setting Specific MinisMay: Player's Handbook: The Setting for the Year, Dungeon Master's Guide: The Setting for the Year, Setting Specific Adventure part 1.June: NadaJuly: Setting Specific Adventure part 2August: Setting Specific Digital BundleSeptember: Setting Specific NovelOctober: Setting Specific Adventure 2 part 1November: Digital Materials for another settingDecember: Setting Specific Adventure 2 part 22026Jan: Digital Bundle related to new settingFeb: Player's Handbook: The Setting for the Year, Dungeon Master's Guide: The Setting for the Year, Setting Specific Adventure part 1.Mar: Setting Specific Novel, Setting Specific DiceApr: Setting Specific MinisMay: Setting Specific Adventure part 2June: NadaJuly: Setting Specific Digital BundleAug: Setting Specific Adventure 2 part 1Sep: Digital Materials for next settingOct: Setting Agnostic Adventure BundleNov: Setting Specific Adventure 2 part 1Dec: Player's Handbook: The Setting for Next Year, Dungeon Master's Guide: The Setting for Next Year, Setting Specific Adventure part 1.Could also swap those Digital Bundles for some setting agnostic material (Draconomicon, Tasha's Guide, Etc)</blockquote>
