[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 7706150, member: 17913"] Hopefully that comes next (maybe not like "the next product released" but very soon in the pipeline) if this sells well. I think Curse of Strahd's strong showing probably spoke to them as, "hey, this stuff sells well, and if we can make a few modern tweaks or update some monsters, that's a bonus." It's low-hanging fruit to convert something and get some cash-flow to then divert towards something else that can be a bit more experimental and new. Considering the nostalgia surrounding D&D as a whole, and the ease of this new edition for conversion, I think the idea that Tales can bring a whole new generation up on these classic adventures, as well as opening them up for Adventurers League play so easily, means that Wizards will get a lot of great feedback on really dungeoncrawl-centric adventures, which might be really useful towards to their future releases, too. Whatever player book they have in the works might benefit from some of this feedback, too, in terms of sussing out class option balance in a dungeoncrawl environment. /conjecture [/QUOTE]
