    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    Greyhawk just isn't happening. Like Eberron, Greyhawk is a mostly static setting. It doesn't have the evolving history that Forgotten Realms does, so there is no need to update it from the Greyhawk Gazetteer. Unlike Eberron, Greyhawk has no unique mechanics that would need to be updated to...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    The idea of airships in Eberrons seem to be taken from Spelljammer. Other than space travel, they seem to function identically. Of course I could argue that Spelljammer ripped off the Helmsman of Dune. The Dragonmarks seem to be taken out of Birthright.

    2e Dark Sun had a separate monster's manual. I owned it. 4e also had a separate monsters manual. The box didn't have everything you needed to run it. TSR was notorious for doing that.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    None of the modern monsters exist in Dark Sun. 2e required a separate Monster's Manual and even the 4e re-release required a separate Monster's Manual. There is some very unique stuff in Dark Sun that would go beyond a 300 page book. 1. Bards are now assassins, which can be a sub-class. 2...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    Would Spelljammer ships be any different that magic travel? Where would a person from Krynn even get a Spelljammer ship? Its not like they'd sell them that the local shipwright. Not only that, but it would require a helmsman, which is a specialized talent. I just realized Keith Baker ripped...

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    As far as I am aware its still owned by Margaret Weis. She acquired rights following TSR's bankruptcy. Wizards was publishing through Weis's company Sovereign Press until 2003 when the deal fell through. This is why we haven't seen a new Dragonlance supplement in 17 years and only a handful...

    DarkSun would require a new Player's Handbook, and all new Monster's Manual just for that setting. They couldn't sell enough copies to justify releasing any Dark Sun products. I like Dark Sun too, but it just isn't happening.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

    This one is easy. 1. Ravenloft. Already been announced and Wizards has been making a lot of Ravenloft like announcement lately. 2. Spelljammer. They've been dropping a lot of Spelljammer stuff in recent modules and Bulder's Gate 3 has some Spelljammer in there. Plus it allows Wizards to...
