Really? I haven’t heard them before (but my ranks in Knowledge (e-companies) are pathetic). Thanks for the heads up, in any case I’m waiting for the Beta testing to commence.

There is slim chance for that. Currently UA is used for launching playtest material and I don’t find any reason they change that.

The original UA was a collection of player and DM information. It had several classes, new spells, weapons, magic items, etc. Of course some of it was kind of broken, but hopefully they’ll avoid that.

They also had nine loosely set in the Nentir Vale (starting with the really meh Keep on the Shadowfell, …), Gardemore Abbey, etc. They also had a number of scenarios in setting boxes, such as the one on the Shadowfell, which had a set of adventures.

I’m not impressed by the hardcover adventures in 5E. Frankly I wish they’d have things more modular and less “big hardcover with 50+% stuff I don’t care about”. Supposedly one can strip a lot out but I find shorter, more focused adventures or a Book of Lairs type approach more to my liking. Kobold Press has one, which is nice, but I’ve used many of those, so I’d be happy for more.

It’s a shame they went with Curse, Inc. It’s a seriously shady company.

But beyond D&D Beyond, four new products have been registered in Amazon, all labeled as “RPG Accessory” and ranging from 28,95 USD to 9,95 USD. More about this, from our friends in Nerds on Earth here: https://nerdsonearth.com/2017/03/dnd-news/
