D&D 5E 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

On the D&D Celebration – Sunday, Inside the D&D Studio with Liz Schuh and Ray Winninger, Winninger said that WotC will be shifting to a greater emphasis on settings in the coming years.

This includes three classic settings getting active attention, including some that fans have been actively asking for. He was cagey about which ones, though.

The video below is an 11-hour video, but the information comes in the last hour for those who want to scrub through.



Additionally, Liz Schuh said there would be more anthologies, as well as more products to enhance game play that are not books.

Winninger mentioned more products aimed at the mainstream player who can't spend immense amount of time absorbing 3 tomes.

Ray and Liz confirmed there will be more Magic: The Gathering collaborations.

Wow I was thinking Mystara would be great. Greyhawk if just a reskinned reprint would not.

Greyhawk lost most of it's niche to FR it would only appear again for its fans.

anyone know what the other two will be?

Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, and Dragonlance are the top candidates based on popularity, references in released products, and information out of WotC. Curveballs are always possible, of course.

Edit: And I guess Greyhawk. For a top 5.

Well why would any established setting reappear? Greyhawk though is played a good bit these days using a variety of systems. I've been surprised seeing it mentioned with games I'd never have dreamed.

Why I said candidates. And I'd be surprised to see all 3 settings come out in one year.

strange I have heard little about it other than from old guard player and the new guard speak of settings rarely talk of premade setting.

Well I admit I am of the school that almost always builds their own worlds. I'm old too so maybe my circle of friends is different from yours.

I'm predicting one of the two new setting books will be a Magic Plane, like Ravnica and Theros. I'd personally love to see Kamigawa, Tarkir (I think it's called Tarkir) or Innistrad get the setting treatment.
