I'm just lazy, and I was wondering, has anything even approaching dates for 5th edition come out? I know Gen Con is coming up soon, so maybe there will be an announcement there. Still, its been at least a year since last Gen Con, so I thought maybe something might have come out.

| I think they said last year or something, that it would come out sometime in the future. Am not really sure, I will have to check again, maybe I missed something and they said they would release it in the past instead. This sundering stuff is really confusing the day of release of which day, or even if we are going to experience in the time line we now live in. |

Well, the first Sundering adventure, "Murder in Baldur's Gate," is listed on WotC's web site to be coming out on August 20 while the second adventure, "Legacy of the Crystal Shard," is set for November 19. There's not much detail on the second adventure, but there is a bit of a writeup for "Murder in Baldur's Gate."

Murder in Baldur's Gate
Sundering Adventure I
Ed Greenwood, Matt Sernett, and Steve Winter
Blood in the Streets!
Wealth flows into the city of Baldur’s Gate like water. As the rich luxuriate in their mansions atop the bluff and artisans ply their trades on the steep streets, masses of poor laborers swell the slums. Money and power beget political scandal, religious fervor, crime . . . and murder. No one feels safe on the rain-darkened streets. Strange, foreign gods are beseeched in secret shrines. The city is rife with corruption. And through it all, the body count keeps rising.
Murder in Baldur's Gate presents the city in the time of the Sundering, a period that will define the future of the Forgotten Realms. In addition to providing 64 pages of in-depth information on the city and its inhabitants, this product includes a harrowing 32-page adventure in which the player characters defend Baldur's Gate against an ancient evil long thought slain.
Murder in Baldur's Gate allows characters to participate in important events connected to the Sundering and glimpse the future of the Forgotten Realms.
Components:
* 64-page setting book describing Baldur's Gate and its inhabitants
* 32-page adventure book
* Four-panel, foldout DM screen keyed to the adventure

| I suspect that the official release will be sometime during 2014, concomitant with the 50th (?) anniversary of D&D. |

How could it be the 50th anniversary of D&D? It was released in the late 70's. It might be 40 years though. |

| Yes, that's the reason I put the question mark. I know that some kind of anniversary for D&D falls during 2014, I was too lazy to check the exact number tho. |

That's why I've pencilled in attending GEN-CON 2014 - I expect it to be a 5E-fest.

| The bit about "strange, foreign gods" makes me wonder. Does Baldur's Gate worship gods not worshipped other places in Faerun? |
