Here are the rules:
One post per person.
The post can contain multiple items , but not contradictory items( I. E. no "I think they will release a new PHB or not release a new PHB and instead do".....)
Take a stand. Be decisive. Please no "I think they will continue doing some type of essential stuffs"
Let the Games Begin. Bragging rights to the most astute/clairvoyant of us.
That's all I have.
For next year's campaign setting I am betting either Ravenloft as a true campaign setting book, Al'Qadim (based on the elemental hero handbook coming), or a book on the order of the Neverwinter book for Stormreach. I am betting on an Astral Heroes Handbook to go along with the Elemental hero book. A feywild sourcebook like the shadowfell book. Another Monster Vault.
A date will be announced that the VT will go to Open Beta status.
That's all I have.
It has been in open beta for a while.

Nope, still need an invite to get in. I mean that it will be released and be as done as its going to get but still have the word Beta attached to it. Like the so-called Adventure Tools.
Wizards will amp up the support and advertisement of the Fortune Cards, even if there is no interest in them whatsoever.
Something with the DDi will be released and hyped. Clouds will be mentioned.
Atari will announce a delay in the Neverwinter game, to undo Cryptic's progress and revamp.
and finally, a third party will announce a stand alone DM tool kit type program that will help manage campaigns. (wait, I seem to remember an e-mail from someone... )
I am sure the advent of the 5th edition reveal will wait till next year.

THats a pretty bold claim, can you back it up somehow?

He made no claim at all. He said "even if", not "even though".

It's supposed to be open. When they first started the open beta, all DDi subscribers got it. It was bugged, though, and people who didn't receive an invite had to ask for one. I was one of them. There was a thread in the DDi forums for people who were missed.
1) More Fortune cards
2) A new boardgame
3) A samuarai/ninja themed campaign world hinted at
4) Something vague about VTT and Adventure Tools
5) Far-Realm book
Limited edition miniature box, like the Beholder set.
New tile set (yawn) - maybe linked to the Feywild.
New super adventure - maybe linked with a Ravenloft setting?
D&D 5th Edition; however, the actual name be tweaked....something like D&D Legacy Edition.
Ravenloft campaign setting (it was supposed to be out this year but they overhauled it due to essentials) We know they've already done a lot of work on it and they probably don't want it to go to waste. The fanbase for Ravenloft is too huge to ignore, especially with the resurgence in vampire interest over the last couple of years. WotC will go where the money lies.
Only one more set of Fortune Cards. Based on anecdotal evidence, they have not been the big success WotC was hoping for. The third set is pretty much done so they might as well push it out the door anyways.
Hype for the Feywild players book and announcement of a Feywild DM box set.
Hype for the Bood of Vile Darkness
Official announcement of the Elemental source book.
A sequal or expansion to Conquest of Nerath. It's getting rave reviews and WotC will want to move quickly on giving the fans more of the same.
More details on the new D&D board game, the one where one players acts as DM (can't remember the name)
Big push on all things DDI. Virtual table will be pushed heavily.
- release of more fortune cards, while i baught 3 packs to support dreamwizards i normally forget about them, but at my local LFR they have been somewhat of a sucess alot of folks seem to be using them now. how they have done overall i dont know or really care that much.
- info on the neverwinter campagin setting
- info on the feywild book
- DDI plans, upgrades and hopefully new features like a campagin manager application
- Release of old edition products in digital format, only purchasable from WoTC website.(see pottermore for a model of this)
- Feywild Super Adventure/Boxed city, similar to the Shadowfell set
- Announcement of Al Qadim being re-released as Dragon Magazine articles
- Announcement of a New Campaign setting, that will be digital only product.
- Campaign/Encounter Manager. Tied into the Adventure Tools/VTT
- Full Launch of VTT- with more tiles/graphics- as well as marginal support for older systems
- New pricing scheme for DDI to reflect VTT launch/access
- Elemental Book explained
- Next Year's product will have an elemental theme, just the way we had a heavy shadow theme this years.
- Epic level super adventure against the Primordials
That's all I got. I'm sure there will be more, but I can't see anything else that is subsumed into DDI articles.
Alright, get your scorecards ready, we have the first score of the weekend.
Kara-tur....If you have Kara Tur in your predictions, score one point.

Ok. Before anything else gets revealed.....
- An announcement on the VT - opening up the beta test more widely or more features. Full launch would be good but not sure they're ready for that.
- A new setting, either in the form of a Neverwinter style book - which could be Stormreach as someone posted above - or a full blown setting treatment which I would think could be Al Qadim or Dragonlance. Would like Greyhawk but that is getting more and more unlikely.
- Encounters seasons to tie into product releases - 1 for elemental book, 1 for campaign setting, whatever that is.
- More themes tiles.
- A boxed set adventure possibly tied to an old classic. Temple of Elemental Evil anyone?
Heroes of the Astral Sea Player's options book (Wo-hoo! Free point!)
Building on the expected success of Madness of Gadmore Abbey, new adventure that involves the Machine of Lum the Mad, with a deck of random effects from the buttons and levers.
Feywild World book
WotC sets up a version of DDI for older editions: instead of PDFs of old Dragon Magazines and splatbooks, you can search for magic items, spells, etc. on a giant database. Same price structure as 4ed DDI, but different price.
More boardgames, probably not using the Adventure System, maybe similar to the Dungeons of Dread boardgame released in December.
They'll announce one new set of Fortune Cards in the new year, and be coy about releasing more.
More physical product supporting video games, shows, and movies.
Virtual Table will be ready soon.
