I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to Kamigawa being another cross-over book. looks at everybody booing at him and wondering why as if he said something wrong. Ducks tomato.

I would LOVE it!

Huh. Congrats to B&G for getting the ability to make boxes for MtG as well, that's a big deal.

On the D&D side, this could mean nothing. It does make some sense for B&G to want to make a box for the cards, if they knew they could share some material with a box planned for D&D... so I suppose it boosts the likelihood of a Kamigawa book somewhat, but I would say anything close to confirmation of anything just yet.

Yeah, this doesn't mean much one way or another, though Kamigawa cyberpunk style D&D would be a sensible product development.

From the previews for the new Kamigawa set earlier this year, I would be thrilled to see that set get a D&D product.

It would totally fit in with the other crossover products by bringing something different to the table.

If it is going to be a new D&D sourcebook then they would need a lot of space for the cyberpunk crunch: weapons, high-tech, cyberimplants, vehicles, genetic engineering ....mind-upload+digital inmortality(like in Altered Carbon or Eclipse Phase RPG? And this not only would need a own sourcebook for itself but also previous playtesting and feedback in Unearthed Arcane. What if a player create a cantrip about little pieces of ectoplasm to block canons of firearms or machines?

I wonder about a no-true-isekai, a manga about somebody from a modern again who is reincarnated into a medieval fantasy (the trick is she is not from our reality but from cyberpun Kamigawa).

So far they have neither Cyberpunk nor fantasy Japanese settings (or rather no settings with their Japanese parts detailed) in 5e yet, so yeah some fresh niches.

At minimum I expect unique art treatments for MtG cards, maybe both Commander Decks, some packs, a plushy, etc...

The closest thing to a Japanese setting is Kamigawa, and Kara-Tur, a Forgotten Realms spin-off, decades ago, when the rules of politically correction were different.

I guess Hasbro wants to make money with the potential market of otaku community. (Is the term "otaku" allowed or is it too pejorative?) with their own IPs. But Asian market is different, even continental China and Taiwan may have got too different rules.

Now I wonder about possible crossovers between cyberpunk Kamiwaga and modern-age Hasbro franchises (for example M.A.S.K).

The videogame cyberpunk2077 and the action-live Alita: Battle Angel may help to open some doors, but the genre will be not the same after the future events in the 2022.

The franchise C.O.P.S by Hasbro had got some touchs of Cyberpunk. It may sound a stupid idea but today rebooting a forgotten IP is easier to start from zero with risk of possible accusations about plagiarism or lack of original ideas.

* What if the players ask to can use surrogates (remote-control androids) in cyberpunk setting?

* Are tsukumogami possible in Kamigawa? Because this could allow a new line like an ersatz of Yokai-Watch or DokeV
