I have always felt kinship to the society of Sensation, but these days I'm more Bleak Cabal

I don't know if they are going to be so clean as this, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do get more themed bundle UAs. Then again, the Forgotten Realms book only had three reprints (knowledge, bladesong, and PDK) and a swath of new subs. We could very well end up with a UA around some theme...

Maybe Jeremy and Chris can give them the 2024 treatment when Darrington releases a new 3pp CR book.

Potential future UAs Primal: Storm Hearld, Shepherd, Scout, Stormy Sorcery + new ones Martial: Swords, Cavalier and/or samurai, kensei, conquest, swashbuckler, war magic.

I wouldn't mind a 2e style Tome of Magic, a collection of new spells and a few new PC options (the original wild magic). Make a book with a bunch of new spells, magical subclasses and feats, magic items, and a few magical monsters. Toss in some bastion stuff and you got a good $30.00 supplement.

We've already had the FR subclass UA, before the horror ones. This is probably for a 2026 project.(The psion and horror are too, most likely).

I'd give it a 50/50 shot it ends up in a Dark Sun book, but I wager it also gets reprinted generic book as well.

The problem is that the wizard can't be both a generic "master of all Arcane magic" AND a super-flavorful specialist without going OP. The fact they can pick all the best arcane spells and then be a great necromancer or summoner doesn't work. This is a good example. A generic wizard doesn't...

... I don't think we have. Artificer: 6 Barbarian: 0 Bard: 2 Cleric: 3 Druid: 0 Fighter: 2 Monk: 1 Paladin: 1 Psion: 4 Ranger: 2 Rogue: 2 Sorcerer: 3 Warlock: 2 Wizard: 5 There is a decently exploitable gap in martial based and primal based subs waiting to be explored.

I think the Hexblade revision puts a stake in the heart* of an October Ravenloft book, unless it was never intended for it or has been cut for later from it. I won't say never, but my money is increasingly that the October book is vaporware or delayed and these new UAs are all for 2026. (Either...

I'm increasingly thinking that October book is a.) Lorwyn and b.) delayed. I WANT to be wrong though...

Listening to video: Ancestral sorcerer just screams Simon from Honor Among Thieves

No luck. 😭

So I'm beginning to think we're getting a Everything book in early 2026. Maybe the horror and this UA (and the psion) are for this ...

403 on the actual beyond page. Anyone got the file yet?

I agree the UA is a huge indicator. I just wouldn't read deep into the calendar date. If we get a Ravenloft book in October, that would be due more to fortuitous timing than any attempt to align with Halloween. On a semi-related note, I hope we hear something this week.

Ironically enough, WotC has been lousy at releasing spooky stuff at Halloween. Curse of Strahd and Van Richten's Guide both were spring releases. Maybe to give DMs enough time to buy and read the things. Anyway, I'm not not saying it's a possibility, but it doesn't have a lot of presedent.
