[QUOTE="Chronos96, post: 7752178, member: 6928726"] They've already said that it will appeal to to hardcore fans which I'm taking to mean people that played with second edition settings which the majority are. I honestly doubt that they'll do Nentir Vale as it was only a rectangle in the DM's guide and the fact that it's the most recent "setting" if you want to call it that limits the likeliehood that they'll do anything more with it. Hardcore also implies difficulty which could suggest Dark Sun,Planescape and Spelljammer. Keep in mind they're only announcing the book tommorow but they did say that they're announcing two things that we'll be able to use as early as this year in the summer which at the latest is sometime in August. They also said that whatever product they're releasing would be similar to how COS is a primer on just Barovia but will give us just enough detail to start playing with things on our own. Given those details I feel that Wizards may give us two fifty page plus pdfs on the settings they want to reintroduce to 5E. Stewart also said that the product announced tomorrow will be sometime this year. Dragon Heist comes out in September while Mad mage comes out in November so at the latest that leaves the product being released in December or earlier on the odd chance the didn't tell online retailers like Amazon. Worst case scenario though it gets pushed back to early Q1 2019. All of the adventure paths in 5E have had little easter eggs that connect to the next product from the Ring of Winter being in Storm King's Thunder to the Black Obelisks that keep showing up in all of the adventures as well as the villian of Mad Mage having a Spelljammer Helm and the creatures from Spelljammer in MToF's. In my mind D&D has five really distinct settings that are viable. Forgotten Realms is the default Eberron- Noir, Steampunk, Adventure Dark Sun- D&D hard mode Ravenloft- Horror Spelljammer- D&D in space The reason I don't add planescape is because its cosmology, the positive and negative planes, the elemental planes, the 12 outer planes have all been added to the base cosmology in addition to the Feywild and Shadowfell. Yes, Planescape was its own setting but all the basic componets have been there since 3rd edition-the present. Basically I'd place it as I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it but I wouldn't be surprised if they did either. For that reason alone I'd argue that Spelljammer is far more likely as well as the fact that their have been more signs pointing towards is that Planescape with the Dungeon of the mad mage easter egg and the monsters from MToF's The big question is whether or not they've cracked Psionics behind the scenes and are just sitting on it. If they have I'd say that one of these primers we get will be Dark Sun and the other will either be Spelljammer or Planescape. I feel like they'll get back to Ravenloft later and I feel like they may want to save Eberron as the "Best for last" [/QUOTE]
