WotC: Stop sitting on Rich Burlew's setting (you own the rights!) - publish it for 5E too!

[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 7462777, member: 6688049"] Anything anyone doesn't personally like, can be labeled "niche". It's a loaded word. Many consider everything but FR to be "niche". In contrast, only a few days ago, a WotC rep posted: "People want settings!" Plural. SettingS. The desire to see the 5E Multiverse fleshed out beyond Toril and Barovia is (apparently) not a "niche" desire. Nope. I'm calling for nothing more than Burlew's setting (and the 3rd place setting) to be officially incorporated into WotC's D&D Multiverse, perhaps in a small way. Both of those D&D settings are already WotC-owned IP. They're just unpublished. So let's add 'em in alongside Aebrynis, Mystara, Eberron, and all the rest. This could be done in any number of small-ish ways that involve a lot less work than a hardcover Adventurer's Guide: A) Easiest: Just release PDF scans of the two setting proposals and "setting bibles" as-is (without even 5E stats) for a few bucks on D&D Classics. OR... B) Release a proper 5E overview of each of the two settings as a short PDF like the D&D Magic: The Gathering setting PDFs. OR... C) If WotC is planning to publish a full-blown hardcover with multiple settings in it - as a sort of "multi-setting sampler", then include a short overview of both settings. In all of these cases, whenever the various D&D worlds are listed in future products, continue to mention both of those worlds by name. Voila! They're a part of WotC's D&D Multiverse. That's all I'm asking for. If a buzz develops around either of both of the settings, then of course they could be more fully developed further down the road. That's a rather flat way of putting it. It beat out how many 1000s of other setting proposals, many of them submitted by professional game designers. [/QUOTE]
