I suspect if some videogame studio created a strategy videogame set in D&D and other created a mod to play in Athas we would notice the economy in the region of Tyr is radically different because there isn't enough metal and the water is too necessary and healing magic isn't easy to be found...
A good strategist avoids unnecessary conflicts that only cause wear and tear. WotC will not touch the lore but givin the name of characters and places. They will be more focused into crunch, players' options and monsters.
Other point is players with enough experencie in strategy+economic games...
Do you know the trope when a husband says to his wife "you can't cook this like my mother!"? Or there is a family meeting and in the lunch you can notice when the food is cooked by the grandmother because it has got a special taste and even her own daughters cook the same recipe the taste is...
I don't advice to show on-screen horrible actions by the monsters or villains against innocents in front of PCs' eyes but if the players can have a reasonable chance of preventing it without too much risk or sacrifice. There is a serious difference between off-screen murder and the other is...
I discovered Dragonlance in the 90s when I was a teenage but I hadn't dirty thoughts with the female characters. The age of rule34 in internet hadn't arrived yet.

I guess the story can show scene where the bad guys do horrible things, but the DMs should allow reasonable chances that the...
I guess it will be like the 4e player handbook with some retcons about the classes like the monks. Maybe the paladins can be allowed because now they don't need deities. No-good paladins could work as templars.
We should remember the possibilites about a spin-off, maybe a spiritual successor of...
Spelljammer confirmed! sorry, the force the habit!
I imagine a future DS videogame like a "Conan Exiles" with psionic powers.
My theory is we will see a sourcebook about player's options mainly, and maybe other more focused into monsters. The metaplot will be not touched. It will be unlocked...
They are their children and we have to respect the parents' will. If I want to gift some book for my nephews I should safe the titles to be "family-friendly" or those well be returned. Can you imagine how painful is when it happens?
If we speculate about a future Ravenloft-style sourcebook before the next Halloween we shouldn't be blamed.
I would bet for sourcebooks style Moderkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse with a chapter about PC species and the rest a classic monster compedium. If there are new PC species we should...
