[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8210299, member: 59082"] Consider: 2019: Four hardcovers + Essentials Kit (also, Tyranny of Dragons and a couple alternate starter sets) 2020: Four hardcovers + Strahd Revamped 2021: Four hardcovers (presumably) + ? Also consider that for the first time in the last few years of four hardcovers (from 2018 on), WotC has two set to be published through May. Last year Theros was planned for May but pushed back to July; in 2019, the first two books came out in May and June; in 2018 the second didn't come out until September. In other words, after May there are seven months, which gives plenty of time for (at least) three products to be spread out (Sept, Nov x2?). I believe there has always been a product in November, and almost always in September - so I think those are two slots, with a possible second product in November (holidays and all), or possibly August. So it seems very likely that we'll see a fifth "special" product. Could that be a Dragonlance box set? Something new and unforeseen? What do you think? EDIT: I should add that I posted this before seeing [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/wotc-to-increase-releases-per-year.678480/']this thread.[/URL] As I said there, I was tempted to say in this thread that I could see them upping the core product release to five books. After 2014, we had three years of three hardcovers (2015-17), and then three years of four hardcovers (2018-20), so I could see them upping that to give this year and perhaps beyond (2021-23), with 2024 being the isomorphic to 2014 as the "new edition" (revision) and anniversary.
