This would include the artbook.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A follow-up to Tales from the Howling Portal, adapting another set of classic adventures from D&D's past.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Release a 5th edition version of one of the Anniversary campaign settings that hasn't already gotten a 5th edition release. So, at the moment, that means Greyhawk (arguably the setting for original D&D), Dragonlance, or Planescape, with an accompanying adventure book-length campaign for that setting, and open that up on DM's Guild. (Dragonlance would be the classic campaign, Greyhawk would be Against The Slavers, Planescape would be something really new). (This would count as 2 books for the release schedule)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Related to this, find some really cool artists who have never worked on D&D before to contribute something to the books. Like, I dunno, some art contributions by Yoshitaka Amano and Bill Sienkiewicz for a Planescape book. Ask the question - who has never done D&D art professionally before, and could do some amazing art for this setting? And then ask them.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Another Candlekeep Mysteries style anthology, where it's an editor working with a bunch of writers to create a handful of drop-in adventures that can either kick off a larger adventure or be fit into an existing campaign. Go with a mix of streamers and podcasters like Daniel Kwan, along with high-profile authors who play D&D like Saladin Ahmed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">An Oral History of D&D: A companion book to the documentary series, containing a collection of interviews with people who were at TSR and Wizards from the rise of TSR, to the transition to WotC, and onwards.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Related to the artbook, work with a series of city art museums across the country to set up a touring art exhibit of art from D&D's past - give people a chance to see the art of D&D showcased in a larger and more high profile way then you've had the chance to see previously.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Also related to the artbook - A few of my friends liked the Eye of the Beholder documentary but would have liked something that spotlighted the art more than the artists and life at TSR more - something like a Sister Wendy style documentary but with D&D art. That could be neat as well, possibly as a part of that documentary miniseries.</li> </ul></blockquote>
