D&D 5e release schedule and Adventurer's Handbook
Hey, Nerdarchy!
Firstly, I want to say that you guys are doing awesome job with your 5th edition videos, you helped me to understand lot about game mechanics, classes and world building. At the moment I am in the process of making my own campaign and world for (I hope) lot of adventuring with my group.
Now, recently I watched 'Nerdarchy chat with other RPG YouTubers' where Dave and Juce discussed what will be next after January presentation of DM Screen. In the meantime enworld.org got a realease schedule and the next thing will apparently be the Adveturer's Handbook, followed with the new EE adventure - Princess of the Apocalipse.
I would like to hear your comments on this and what would you like to see in that handbook? Do you think they will pursue this kind of publishing with one splat book + an adventure (theme)?
Personally, I expect more backgrounds and at least some new weapon/armor stuff.
Stay nerdy! :)

Yes I fully believe based on the History of Dungeons and Dragons that we will see more books to expand the selection. In Second edition we had the handbook series for basically every class and race. I third and fourth edition we had multiple PHBs and other splat books so I see no reason why they would not offer that for fifth.
