This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's the release schedule for 5e products looking like?

oh also a war book but considering how unpopular those tend to turn out outside of the warweaver prestige class i dont think this edition will get 1 sadly especially not with the priority's they are taking
If your having tier problems i feel bad for you son i got 99 problems but caster supremacy aint 1.

Apology\'s if there is no punctuation in the above post its probably my autism making me forget.

No, but we really need a good setting book ASAP.

the manual of the planes counts as a setting book right

A Greyhawk setting book this year would sell the deal for me.

I don't consider Manual of the Planes to be a setting book as it can apply to all settings and only at a certain stage in a campaign.

And I would prefer to see a Manual of the Planes/Deities and Demigods book.

Apparently.

I've been too busy actually running the game to notice that nothing else has been announced, I guess.

I agree with these points.
In addition to a Greyhawk setting book, I'd also buy a Deities and Demigods and a Manual of the planes book, as they're just good fun reading at very least.

As opposed to The Strategic Review and Dragon and White Dwarf, which released monthly? (Not to mention all the fanzines like Alarums & Excursions).

If a game is popular, people are going to want material, period. It's nothing new.

Ah yes dieties and demigods that's another one. And as danskmacabre said there just plain fun to read I suppose my priority go manual of the planes> dieties and demigods> something covering warfare

Although the main use I will get out of the manual is new locations on the inner and outer planes. I'm not going to change to the new layout.

For dieties and demigods I mostly want some new minor gods for different creatures and maybe some info on the other gnomish gods (did they cover them in whatever races book they were in I need to buy those books)

And in the unlikely event they have a war book this edition I will mostly just crib scenario ideas because I get the feeling the system will really stupid.

And a book of vile darkness and exalted deeds would be nice. I hope they have the nipple clamps of exquisite pain just to piss pundit off

Sigh. There was a time when you could get relevant information from the WotC website.

Yes, but that wasn't essential and at least until a few of the items from The Dragon were combined into Unearthed Arcana, magazine stuff wasn't "essential" or "core"; there's magazines and websites and on and on now but for some reason it doesn't scratch people's itch.  They want that splat treadmill and they want it now!

You still can: http://dnd.wizards.com/products/catalog.

The ENWorld site is probably more complete as it includes wider events, 3PP publisher and the like.

Godfather Punk

Yeah, it's just that there used to be more substantial updates in articles and Dragon. But maybe that's a side effect from the lower output too.

Skywalker

I think WotC is keeping all public communications to a minimum, given how they seem to set the internet on fire :)

At least, most of the posters on the old gleemax boards seemed to be 14-year olds, which can get aggravating.

I am not very interested in more adventures, which is all that appears to be in the queu.

Always a fan of another Monster Manual.  Seems they should be easy to crank out given the zillions of critters available for update.

I would like a PHB 2.  Psionics goodness needs to see the light of day, more subclasses, and more backgrounds.  

I am a sucker for Greyhawk and would buy it, but I don't care or need them to make one.  Otherwise I do not give a flip if they update any other setting, with a tiny maybe on Mystara.  A brand new setting might have potential.

Would really like a modern or sci fi version.
