D&D 5E Which MTG Setting would you want as an official D&D Setting?

[robus]

Haven't new settings enriched the game, offering different play experiences? Don't we want new worlds to explore, new flavors and experiences, if only to draw from for ideas for our own world?

My feelings exactl. FR should really be called the Remembered Realms, because my god it’s been well trampled!

 

[Mecheon]

Anywho, on some other stuff

I dont think Kamigawa is a good pick due to the prevalence of Kami (and because it misses out on the also flavours of the rest of Asia).

This is a bonus, not a disadvantage. Jamming all of Asia into a single setting hasn't worked in the past and Kamigawa has enough weight that I reckon it could stand as its own weird thing

It's a setting so MtG that it can only be done in MtG or perhaps a game derived specifically for the purpose of making MtG into an RPG

Counter argument: Plane Shift Zendikar was the first one released, complete with stuff for the Eldrazi, and it pretty much leads with "Yeah, we think this is a good idea to have a D&D set from"

Now, I don't think we're going to have one, because I don't think the ones we got Plane Shifts for have much of a chance any more at getting full on books for them, but I can see absolutely no evidence suggesting that Zendikar is somehow not a good fit for D&D and somehow the Eldrazi are linked to this.

Right. The setting was specifically made to be a D&D style adventure setting.

IMO they need to either do Eldraine or a proper Feywild book. Exactly because the game doesn’t well support Grimm’s tales or stuff like the Welsh Mabinogion, and a lot of fantasy nerds and D&D players are really into that stuff.

Yeah, I know and Eldraine would probably do well. But I do like Welsh and Celtic stuff, so would be into something in that vein, just not the campy fairy tale theme. But it is just a matter of taste.

 

[Parmandur]

What about Ice Age?

It's not on the list, plus isn't that just Dominaria when it is cold?

There is a Magic Setting for that, Lorwyn. It's in the same bucket of Kamigawa, unfortunately, and is not likely to be a headliner Magic Set anytime soon if ever (7 on the Rabiah Scale, in both cases, compared to 4 for Eldraine).

The campy Settings seem to do better, such as Innistrad.

 

[Parmandur]

Though it is worth noting that the people who pay attention to this sort of thing have found that WotC has used their usual proxy to prepare something apparently related to Kamigawa called "Neon Dynasty," some sort of grungy Cyberpunk reconceptualization of the Setting. Which is, I guess, kind of campy?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Oh I would believe some people absolutely want a campy setting. I just don't think WotC would ever publish one.

Really?! Have you read the Folk of the Feywild UA?

Rabbitfolk Traits:
Hare-Trigger. You add your proficiency bonus to your initiative rolls.
Lucky Footwork.

It is. It was set after the brothers war which so devastated the plane that it led to empires falling before the encroaching cold. I think that's the timeline, set about the brothers (not sure of the name), fallen empires, then ice age.

 

[Mind of tempest]

It is the world that exists beyond the veil
It is a world of wonders, unconstrained by such pety thoughts as 'The laws of physics' or 'Reality'
It is a world of laws unknown and strange, where a wrong slip of the tongue results in your name being taken by a lucky sprite
It is a world of stories, shaped by them and feeding from them

Feywild's had proto-versions of it in D&D for absolute yonks for a reason. Plane of Faerie's been a little explored place until the Feywild finally came along and put a face to the name

no I get that but the first two is any good setting worth its salt as they are not the real world.
on names that is something people build protocol around and own know, laws is hard to do.
a world of stories would be hell it self because people do not think about what it means, most think stories of youth or legends of older days it simply means any narrative it would look alien in ways we would want to burn as most groups of humans have collective narratives even the evil ones.
