D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

[Stormonu]

I agree with you entirely, but they seem fixated on a way to split them up (presumably in an attempt to "monetise" them). Even as a Retailer, I disagree with the idea that this will ultimately make more money (I think that it will make money short-term and lead to longer-term decline, but short is all shareholders care for, in spite of it not actually making logical sense).

I'd rather have fat cheap books like the 2024 PHB.

But if we're stuck with a two-book format, THIS is the way to do it. It's much better than the way Spelljammer and Planescape were done.

They could bundle them together (for the DM) in a slipcase set (maybe with a DM's screen) like they did with the three-book format for Spelljammer and Planescape. They could still sell them seperately for those who don't want the slipcase set.

I just hated for Spelljammer & Planescape set that they devoted such a large section to an adventure I never asked for or intended to run.

Environmentally wasteful slipcase again? No thanks.

If I had my way, it'd be boxed set instead of slipcases anyways

Still bad. Unless there are lots of separate items. Imo, of course.

I mean, they could, sure. But IMO, they shouldn't. Or if they do, it should be for a limited release Christmas Bundle or something.

Only if it had a lot of battle-maps, monster tokens, spell cards, & item cards! Better yet, they should make that boxed set as a third product!
