Plus all the online content. They might also have another book coming in August that they're not ready to talk about yet. Possibly a campaign setting, possibly an accessory. No one knows.They've said in interviews and at panels that they want to limit books this time round, to not release books for the sake of releasing books. They want to have a reason to make new content beyond just people wanting more. For example, people were a little unhappy with the sorcerer options, given wild magic was a bit esoteric leaving the dragon sorcerer as the go-to option. So they pushed out the favoured soul and stormborn sorcerers. We know they're working on other class content as well, but they're likely holding off on that until they get some more feedback and word-of-mouth to see what characters people are struggling to create. Keep in mind there's all of 3-5 people working on the D&D books at this moment. They spent all of last year working hard on the core rulebooks and nothing else (for obvious reasons). It's going to take some time to get other books written, let alone released. There's a reason all the adventures are outsourced to other studios. Pathfinder is also doing the anti-Pathfinder route now. When it launched it eschewed monthly books in favour of 3-4 hardcovers each year and accessories every couple months. Their release schedule has only gotten bigger and bigger as the company gained popularity. 5e is taking the more classic slow Pathfinder release schedule and slowing that down even more when it comes to game accessories.I'm sure we'll see some of those. The campaign setting almost certainly. A Manual of the Planes would be cool but there are 3-4 of those already available that need very little conversion to be useful. And with all the classic monsters out there that didn't quite make the cut for the Monster Manual I imagine a second monster book is inevitable as well. Dead is subjective. 4e is dead because they'll never release more content. 5e is still seeing online articles and adventures, so it's hard to call it dead. No more dead than AD&D was in 1980 after the DMG was released. If they want to release more books, they can do so at any time.</blockquote>
