D&D (2024) What Magic: the Gathering setting would you like to see next?

[Yaarel]

Well Kamigawa has perhaps unsurprisingly shot to #1. Samurai and cyberpunk is a nice aesthetic.

Kawigama a way for nearfuture tropes and mechanices to enter D&D for other cultures too. I love Japanesque cyberpunk and other esques as well.

Perhaps more surprising is the significant gap between first and second place.

 

[Tonguez]

Tarkir for a return to the East that isn’t just Japan

Eldraine for Knights & Castles and Realms play

They were started as a passion project by James Wyatt as a companion to the art books. The positive response led to the Ravnica book.

And also led to Wyatt's return to the D&D team

We have Ravnica, Theros, and Strixhaven. If D&D gets another Magic: the Gathering plane as a setting book, which one would you like to see next?

I voted Kamigawa, but I want to specify the new Kamigawa set. Magitech cyberpunk.

Close in contention would be Eldraine, Capenna, and a book about many planes from the posthumous perspective of Gideon, with notes by various members of the Gatewatch, and other planeswalkers close to him.

Or maybe from the perspective of the pre-War of The Spark Gatewatch.

I might settle for a post-whatever is happening right now perspective, too, perhaps. Especially if it ends with Weatherlight being able to go between planes again. Great reason for a coherent guide to the planes.

The new Kamigawa set is truly awesome.

It does seem that they are enacting a new status quo in the current big over the top plotting, and it may be that the new status quo is more amenable to honest to goodness interplaner Adventure, which is weirdly absent from the 3 current Magic Setting products. Like, an actual Weatherlight campaign would be cool, or playable info for Planeswalkers.

Of the Settings coming out in the near future, Eldraine seems to me to be the most ripe for a.good high concept Setting product, amd in space that neither TSR nor WotC every really explored with direct fairy tale parallels.

I've actually been considering making the Weatherlight a spelljammer vessel. I already have the artwork to go with it, I just need to write up some stats.

I should also note that a setting which is heavily influenced by fairy tales I believe would be awesome. I love folk lore and fairy tales, they're a fun read and have a lot of great ideas for RPGs.

Eh, Eldraine is pretty much explored by Feywild (as is Lorwyn, though that's got a cool Shadowfell rotation going on with Shadowmoor).
Capenna is darn cool and I would love to see it - but only after Neon Dynasty Kamigawa is released for D&D. THAT is how you fix an orientalist setting and make it stand out and bring something truly unique to D&D…

Feywild has Arthurian fantasy and Grimm's fairy tales?
