D&D 2026 Calendar Release

Cool

Nevermind, I just remembered the new dragonlance books that came out 

I suspect “Gameplay Expansion” means a more broad rules expansion like Xanathar’s Guide to Everything or Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything: a book full of new subclasses, spells, feats, species, monsters, rules, and other assorted content for both players and DMs alike.

As for “Adventure Expansion”… I don’t know. Hopefully it’s a full campaign.

You might want to rethink the title of your posts. I was looking for the new Ravenloft Book announcement. All I could find was a "2026 Calendar Release".

I don't want no effing D&D calendar, especially as 2026 is 2 months in already.

Until I finally had another look at that post. *sigh* Can you please name it correctly in the future? "2026 Release Calendar"?

Thank you.

PS: I thought you want to sell books. Do not make it extra hard to find them. Really.

Why is there like zero info about the Ravenloft book, there is NOTHING.

And don't tell me you don't know yet... for a release in June you probably have the proofs and sent corrections to the printer so it's being shipped world-wide in time. How many pages is it, what's in it? "gameplay expansion" says NOTHING. This could be a book with 8 cardboard pages with pre-stamped minis.

I am not hyped up for the book with that few information. You really need to do better.

I want my Planegea here no point with d&d for me st the moment. You have everything else crammed in there and other things just fall to rhe wayside. 

They literally just did the FR updates, man.  There's such a thing as burnout and keeping people hooked for later by not using up too much of a sub-brand all at once.

Not only that, they know (and I figure, want to respect) that Ed Greenwood himself is putting out his own series of non-WotC products with other partners.  I've literally spoken to him about his overall vibe with the company in the last couple years and it's not all bad, escpecially with his Lore channel doing so well.  The new management appears savvy enough to know not to mess too much with the creators in light of their controversies.  

Remember how they just now put out an older and superb Exploring Eberron release on Beyond WITH the rules updates and extra content, right after FotA released (with a different/complementary take on the setting, one I was very wary of but seems solid enough in hindsight)?  It's excellent.  The FotA does the mechanical heavy lifting (which WotC had the playtesting infrastructure for) while the endorsement of ExE (Frontiers soon, I'd bet) means they are happy to delegate lore updates to the most qualified partners, wisely so.

And how they tried mending the bridge with Dragonlance's creators?  Could have been a lot worse.

I want full hardcovers and stuff in place of too much DLC or whatever, but let's let em cook a while longer.  Takes a while to iron out the kinks given all the shakeups and the flourishing of high-quality competition (which... wouldn't have happened without the OGL fiasco, let's be real).

They uploaded Paizo's megadungeon with 5e rules, even!  That's like when Nintendo and Sonic made nice, kinda, and it makes me happy to see.

(Speaking of Chult, have you dug into the Guild Adept and AL content on dmsguild yet?  Because that was the AL golden age and most of the old-school fans I've encountered just absolutely dismiss, to their loss)

Soooooo excited for more updated Ravenloft content.  It has always been my favorite campaign setting.

Well that "Ravenloft again" is bringing the stat block for Cthulu so I would figure you would be happy to see it.  Plus all the missing arcane subclasses plus likely the addition of Psion and subclasses.  Sounds pretty exciting to me.

Well since they have listed the Season of Champion content name yet that still could be whats coming.

Im curious as to why the book, Volo's Guide to Monsters is not part of the library that can be purchased? 

I like the point buy system for character generation but the DM needs to be able to adjust it to fit his campaign.  

I think it would be awesome if y'all did a further collab with Fortnite by adding customizable skins of different classes. Or avatar the last air bender :)

MORE SPELLS YESSSSS

Is the VTT getting an update or is it still going to be as bad as it is? Asking for a friend. 

No new campaign books? 

Deadfall seems to be a full adventure 

Nice

Interesting!

Question: Whenever I bought the version to have both dndbeyond and hardcover of a book, I always receive the standard edition. I wonder if there's a way to make it into alternative cover editions next time I buy them. Some are way too interesting to look at to not want them. Thank you.
