[darjr]

Rich Baker talks about Elemental Evil,

and it doesn't say what Mr. Ward talks about.

Haven't had a chance to listen.

DUST!!!!!!

 

[I'm A Banana]

The codename is Dust. That's all we find out. And just to drive the point home how meaningless that word is, they toss out a bunch of other meaningless codenames at the end. But it's apparently something currently in production - likely NOT Rage of Demons.

It is probably not a D&D cartoon - they ask him what he would do if he "had to" make a new D&D cartoon, so unless everyone in that room is trolling us HARD, that is probably not exactly what this is.

So they mostly just chat about how he's a fan and stuff. Still cool!

Yeah, I was summarizing what I learned. Though in fairness, it does reveal that he is working on a storyline with Perkins, that it seems to be pretty early in development, and confirms that WotC are planning way ahead.

I don't know if the D&D side of Wizards follow the same procedures for codenames as Magic does, but Magic codenames specifically do not have anything to do with the content of the set in question. There's nothing blood-based about the set code-named Blood, it is just that it's connected to the smaller set named Sweat.
