[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8629575, member: 6780330"] Alright, so call me an addict, but the discussion about the new Background Feats coming in the new Dragonlance Adventure has set me to thinking about the 2024 Classic Setting "Revisit" product of a Setting already in 5E. Now, we know per Ray Winninger, inveterate tease that he is, that WotC are planning on revisiting a Setting in 2024, coinciding with both the 50th anniversary of the game amd the new rules revision currently being worked on. Now, the three contenders for this, as worked out in various other threads, are the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk (maybe, depending in if Ghosts of Saltmarsh counts as an initial visit), and Eberron. Generally, speculation nuts have been dismissive of Eberron, and focused on the Forgotten Realms (which is never surprising for WotC to revisit) or Greyhawk (which would legitimately be a great 50th anniversary product), and I think those are still both highly likely to be what Winninger is teasing at. But what if it is Eberron? Now, another Rising from the Last War overview book doesn't seem like a good bet, given that WotC folks swear up and down that compatibility is going to be maintained with the rules revision, and most of Rising from the Last War is edition or even system proof anyways. Similarly, a Spelljammer style slipcase doesn't seem too likely. But what about an Adventure like Shadow of the Dragon Queen that plays nice with Rising from the Last War, with a bit of Setting crunch to bring Eberron fully into line with the Monsters of the Multiverse and Tasha way of doing business? Monsters of the Multiverse contains the Races that WotC has designated as non-Setting specific, that can fit in just about anywhere. So, no Kender there, but Kender will be in Shadow of the Dragon Queen. Shifters and Changelings are in MotM and updated for bew rules, but not the much more Setting specific Warforged and Kalashtar. Perhaps an Adventure would be a good place to re-introduce them with updated rules, and then there is the big elephant in the room. Dragonmarks. Currently, they are using the Subrace mechanic. Subraces are on the way out, however, and Geat chains are in the way back in, which is how they were handled in 3E and 4E. Could an Adventure set in Sarlona or Xen'drik, for example, be a good place to reintroduce Dragonmarks as Background Geats, that lead to further Feats at 4th Level? Similarly, would Background Feats and Feat chains be a good way to double down on Warforged uniquenesses, by providing specific Backgrounds and Feats designed around their one of a kind origin story? And perhaps would this make more sense than Greyhawk or the Realms, who would mostly benefit from the new Core rules updates? I'm still pulling for Team Greyhawk, but now I'm starting to see a case here. [/QUOTE]
