What If We're Wrong?

The Classic Plus hype train is going bonkers right about now. 


WillE is but one of the creators that's really on board with Classic Plus, but I keep wondering if we're misreading the tea leaves.

Here's the biggest clue that we might get Classic Plus, which was leaked back in 2025 and got a lot more scrutiny once more in 2026:

From Reddit and Icy Veins and all over.

Here's the thing. This looks interesting on the face of it, but until the collaboration between WotC and Blizzard was announced (it was leaked last week), nobody had a clue that D&D and WoW were going to join forces in the first of a series of crossovers. 

Here's what the alternate cover looks like, complete
with a book sleeve. (Alliance is on the back cover.)
From Reddit.


And oh look, that D&D World of Warcraft splatbook is coming out on November 17, 2026, which closely aligns with that Project Camelot release date up there as well.

So.

Was this what Project Camelot was all along? 

Hell if I know, but it wouldn't shock me if we were all wrong and it wasn't Classic Plus but a tabletop version of WoW that we got instead. I mean, it wouldn't be so bad from my perspective as a tabletop gamer, but I'm sure that it wouldn't go over well with others in the online community.

I guess we'll find out.

And for the record, I think I like the "regular" splatbook's look over the fancy version:

From ENWorld.


From ENWorld.

Why is it called ENWorld, you might ask?
When D&D 3.0 was getting ready to be released,
a guy named Eric Noah created a website to keep track
of all of the info of the upcoming version. Hence "EN"
refers to Eric Noah and World is, well, you get the idea.
