I suspect they will stick with something they can sell as a hardback. It is still too early to tell.

WotC has stated they plan to approach 5th edition in a way that places quality before quantity, which suggests that there aren't likely to be many modules released between/beside the two hardback campaigns each year, if any at all.

However, there are already at leat two publishers (Frog God Games/Necromancer Games and Goodman Games) which are making adventure products intended for use with 5th edition - so it may be through 3rd party publishers, but I expect plenty of 5th edition adventure modules to be available.

I would be happy if they release D&D Encounters like during the 5e playtest. I liked that set up...

Jan 06, 2015 9:24:04 I have no use for the Adventure Path style of modules, so I won't be buying the big campaign books. I would be more interested in shorter adventures, but to be honest, I have enough BECMI and 2nd edition stuff to play for a lifetime. If Wizards doesn't produce short adventures, I won't be crying.
