[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 7992923, member: 59082"] My guess is that we'll see something in 2024 with the 50th anniversary, but not a new edition as much as a revision with extra frills, new art, etc. I mean, considering the seemingly new schedule of four books a year, that's 14ish more through 2023, after Theros. That should be enough to do the planes, psionics, Dark Sun, and whatever story arcs they have in the pipeline. My guess is that 2020-22 will be more of the same, with WotC filling in the line, probably expanding into the planes and eventually Dark Sun. We'll start to see a few experimentations in 2022, and maybe something more radical in 2023 (sci-fi? sci-fantasy?). Like so: 2020 (post-Theros): two more story arcs 2021: Planescape/MotP, planes story arc, planes monster manual 2022: Another Magic setting, Dark Sun, psionics 2023: Something different, maybe another Magic setting 2024: Anniversary edition - new core rulebooks Or something like that. All prior 5E books will be usable with no more than minor adjustments (e.g. they'll fix whatever wonky math exists for monsters, revise certain classes etc). They won't call it 6E, just as they don't call the current version 5E, but might call it something like "anniversary edition" with a massive ad campaign. The core books will be pretty, have enough new stuff to make people excited to buy them, but not enough to make anyone want to do a book-burning. [/QUOTE]
