[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8255207, member: 7023887"] Here's what I want for the future releases (relatively within reason): Summer 2021 Release - Feywild Adventure Book (including the Folk of the Feywild UA's Races). Ideally, this book would take place in Neverwinter, as it is the last of the major cities of the Forgotten Realms that hasn't had an adventure set there. I would love if this adventure was relatively low level, preferably somewhere in the level 1-7 or level 3-9 range. Give it the feel of Descent into Avernus, where you get totally over your head, dealing with aloof Archfey and mastermind hag covens at levels that make you feel squishy. Descent into Avernus drives in the theme of "everything here sucks", while this book (Neverwinter: Into the Feywild?) could drive home the idea of the chaotic nature of the Feywild, with its residents, the landscape, and even time being unpredictable. I really like the "Fish out of Water" feel that came with Descent into Avernus, and I would love if the next adventure book had a similar, yet thematically different, feel. Fall 2021 Release - Draconomicon book similar to Volo's/Mordenkainen's, but with draconic subclasses, races, feats, and spells, as well as monster stat blocks for Gem Dragons, probably some more Drakes, and possibly Dragonborn/Half-Dragon NPC Stat-Blocks (if they really wanted to scrape the bottom of the barrel, they could also just apply the Shadow Dragon rules to all of the 5e Dragon Stat Blocks in order to fill some page-space). The rest of the book would also probably go more in-depth with the lore of dragons, dragonborn, and half-dragons, possibly give an updated 5e Draconic-Pantheon, and so on.
