The Forgotten Realms, ironically, are not the Realms which have been Forgotten.

The sole purpose of this thread, besides having a half-clever title, is to ask the following:

GREYHAWK 5E: What are the official plans for it, if any? And what are the major homebrews that fans have done?

DRAGONLANCE 5E: What are the official plans for it, if any? And what are the major homebrews that fans have done? The core rulebooks love Dragonlance and use it in the art and examples whenever possible. I'm surprised in the face of that that I haven't heard anything about an official Dragonlance campaign setting for 5th, and the only announcement I did find turned out to be an April Fools prank.

I salivate at the idea of working on either of these things for WotC...if they are ever planned for their production pipeline, that is. And the half-assed business man is me is really curious about the current licensing status of Dragonlance between Margaret Weis and WotC.

Running 5e in my homebrew greyhawk. Conversion is easy, i do not need anything official for it.
DL is hard to run, except if you take the original story and pc either are the heroes of the lance or a surrogate for them. But also here convert the old stuff, find some fitting homebrew rules for dragonlances solamnic knights and moon magic and you are done.
Since I believe that material published today would definitely kill the old stuff by including every possible race and class by sledgehammer shoehorning I would rather prefer they keep their hands off it.

I just wish they'd stop going out of their way to crush my dreams of 5E Spelljammer.

There are no official plans for either that we know of. If there are any plans, WotC hasn’t said anything.

There is a Fans of Greyhawk gathering at Gary Con this year. I will be there!

Spoiler for DotMM: [sblock]There is a spelljamming vessel in that dungeon, along with a write up of Stardock, an orbital station around Toril. There's also a spelljamming helm, complete with detailed magic item stat block.[/sblock]

Spoiler for DotMM:

I know--they keep putting tantalizing elements of Spelljammer in various places, but then they go and say things like "We're working on a new setting, and we won't tell you what it is except to say that it's not Spelljammer."

The only thing semi-official about GreyHawk is that the Stranger Things intro module coming out may be set there [1] . Which would make sense since it's supposed to be the campaign that the kids were playing in the first season, which is set before FR was released.

Whether this will have any other future tie-ins, who knows. I'd love it, I'm not overly fond of the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink of FR.

I have felt that parts of Greyhawk were analogous to sections of the Forgotten Realms. In particular "The Wild Coast" versus "The Sword Coast" With the city of Greyhawk being either Neverwinter or Waterdeep.

 

[ParanoydStyle]

Oh, absolutely. The first time I saw Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, my brain interpreted the title as it being a adventure revolving around you LITERALLY STEALING A DRAGON and I got stoked (there's a first edition Shadowrun adventure that is pretty much exactly that, but I digress), and I was super disappointed when all that was being heisted was a bunch of gold coins. So now I'm working on "The REAL Dragonheist" (where you do in fact have to STEAL A DRAGON) and yes it's set in Greyhawk and the Free City of Greyhawk and Waterdeep mirror each other quite a bit, and a lot is interchangeable between them.

I know--they keep putting tantalizing elements of Spelljammer in various places, but then they go and say things like "We're working on a new setting, and we won't tell you what it is except to say that it's not Spelljammer."

I suppose you don't want to hear about my other campaign/adventure I'm working on then, which is set in Greyhawk and includes...elements of Spelljammer, lol.
