[QUOTE="lkj, post: 7715312, member: 18646"] To acknowledge my bias-- I no longer use the FR campaign setting much. I'd probably be happier if Greyhawk or Mystara were the main settings. At any rate, it seems a little premature to assume this next storyline will exclude other settings. It might. But I don't think we have enough info to go that far. Will it get a strong FR tie in? I think that's a given. FR is a default setting, as far as products. And I can see why. As they, hopefully, bring in new players, it makes sense that those players are given a familiar world as a touch point. Presumably FR was chosen due to its over all popularity. Given that, every adventure should have an easy tie in to FR. Furthermore, all else being equal, they might as well set adventures in FR and let others adapt it to other settings (which has been easy for me, anyway, so far). An example of 'all else not being equal' is Curse of Strahd, where there were compelling reasons to make Ravenloft a separate and isolated place. But all that said, I-- perhaps being an optimist-- think that WotC haven't given up on using their other properties more substantially. Mearls has made vague comments several times indicating that they know there are people who love other settings and that they want to find a sensible and creative way to support that. In some recent interview, he mentioned he came close to putting Greyhawk on the schedule, not because it made sense, but because he loves Greyhawk and wants it out there. But he didn't because he had to concede it needed to fit into their overall strategy. He didn't go any further than that. But I, the optimist, think that the unspoken context there might be that they instead have been working on finding a cool way to support multiple settings. And since I've been pleasantly surprised several times by WotC during the 5e run, I'm hopeful that they've come up with something that will work. Is it this next storyline? I hope so. Mearls has mentioned that his favorite storyline hasn't been announced yet. He seems excited, which makes me think it's happening soon. He likes Greyhawk which makes me hope they've found a way to bring out their other worlds. Will it be full support like FR? Almost certainly not. Will we all be happy with how much support? No way. But let's just see what they come up with. Cheers, AD [/QUOTE]
