D&D (2024) Wizards Presents show on August 18th! Update: WotC announces guests and time.

Got a chance to flip through it at Gen Con...?

Not that book.

Sheesh I wish! But now I wonder?

 

[Parmandur]

Wait! If true then this goes back to the first AP and season 1 of ST?!

Well, Chris Perkins said in 2014 that they had a five year plan for the Adventure Paths, though that got blown up a bit when they went from two major plot campaigns a year down to one.

Still though, Vecna as the final BBEG to capstone all the Swoed Coast Adventures...? Makes sense.

@darjr Try this wild speculation on for size: perhaps they were building up to a big Timey-Whimey Vecna Adventure since 2014, but then it turned out that Stranger Things was going to use Vecna in the 4th Season, which WotC knew because of corporate communications. So because of the delays of Stranger Things 4, they delay the final Vecna Adventure following up on the revelations in Icewind Dale, and put Witchlight out in 2021 instead.

Maybe Vecna is the one causing a Great Modron March this time instead of Orcus? He's tried interplanar shenanigans before, after all...

Quite possibly!

Also, they are headed to Krynn in the show for something!

It's plausible! The obelisk in Rime has a connection to Netheril, and that would be fantastic!

This would also be fantastic!

I wish that would mean Shadovar Netheril, but I’m sure nothing 5e will ever mention them again, sadly.

 

[GMMichael]

Dark Sun.

What are you trying to do, redeem 5e!?

 

[Maxperson]

I mean, how many would be cross, how many would be excited, and how many would neither notice nor care?

@doctorbadwolf is right. The cross talk is everywhere!

It would be nice though!
