[QUOTE="Cadriel, post: 6944059, member: 4295"] Listening to the [URL="http://gamingandbs.com/wizards-coast-gamehole-con-bbs017/"]Gamehole Con panel with Mike Mearls, Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins[/URL], one of the things I noticed was that they said all the current and future releases had been foreshadowed in the core books. So I started looking for hints in the Monster Manual that might have pointed to the existing releases - and I found some. In the Gargoyle entry there is an explicit reference to the Princes of Elemental Evil featured in Princes of the Apocalypse in a green box. Then in Giants there is a reference to the giant deities that we would see mentioned in Storm King's Thunder in another green box. And in Vampires there is a description of Strahd von Zarovich in a third green box, which pointed at Curse of Strahd. All of which implied that, well, green boxes might be telling us something. So I looked for more, and found them. Death Knights has a green box on Lord Soth, which would be a fairly obvious approach for Dragonlance (although he was also in Ravenloft for a while). Demilich has a green box about Acererak and His Disciples, and Acererak of course was featured in Tomb of Horrors. Hags have two green boxes, one about covens and one specific to Night Hags; hags, of course, are linked to Baba Yaga and her Dancing Hut. Orcs has a green box about King Obould Many-Arrows, who would seem to figure in a Savage Frontier adventure. And Yuan-ti have a box about their gods which points at the 1e module Dwellers of the Forbidden City. I'm not saying those are the next five adventures. But the groundwork would be there, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if we saw any of them in the next few years. The other thing I caught a mention of in the panel was the Feywild; if that was a hint would also seem to play into the idea of Baba Yaga. I'm sure there is more material in the core books that links back to both existing and future adventures, I just thought those green boxes were an interesting detail and offer up pretty straightforward clues to monsters and NPCs in the vein of "revisiting classic D&D" that 5e seems intent on.
