I like that Dragonborn and.tieflings are confirmed for next paxket as well as Kender and Warforged.

Sounds like a suggestion on which might be 4 of those 5 settings:

Dragonborn = PoI
Tiefling = Planescape
Kender = Dragonlance
Warforged = Eberron

I'm not sure if the fifth could be Ravenloft or Greyhawk, the latter being maybe more popular but also more "normal", what could a "Greyhawk module" need? Ravenloft might be more suitable as an example of a setting "module" (in the current sense of the word, not the traditional one).

You could look at the settings that could generate new modules:

Dark Sun - Defiling
Ravenloft - Fear/Horror/Madness/Powers checks
Eberron - Action Points, Everyday Magic
Dragonlance - Aerial Combat
Planescape - Plane-based spell alterations

Dragonlance=towers of sorcery as well.

FR on the other hand I'm not sure, maybe the ability to use all the modules except maybe defiling.

Reading Dread's tweets Mearls actually mentions Ravenlofts fear machinic and reading the verison of thevQ&A I think 5 popular settings was just a possible example.

The dread live tweets were more detailed. Bard's subclasses are called colleges. The warlord like one is called.the college of valour. I wonder if there will a college of faith.

College of Valor??? What's wrong with Bardic Virtues, if they stick with the same set?

Quality idea.

I think that thematically it allows them to stray farther afield then virtues.

And Bardic Colleges are already a thing and make sense. You'd need a special school to teach music, different kinds of magic, sword play, skills, lore from countless subjects, and the Gods knows what else.

As long as you don't have to buy settings to buy modules ...

Am i the only one who is disappointed from the fact(?) that the popular setting would be a module in the core book? That means what? 5 pages? 10 pages?...20 pages (unlikely) for each setting? What should include? Few nice words of what is lets say Planescape, how cool is it, 5 factions as backgrounds, 5 "new" playable and a brief about the planes? Is that the support they have in mind? Is it enough? For me definetely no.
So, we have again only FR as the setting which gets new material?
