Each one of those in the book could expanded to that level.

Each Adventure is site based, with a gazateer detailing a unique Setting for each, connected loosely with a hub zone for interdimensional travel Each Subsetting could easily be a wile campaign, and they are pretty great.

Yup, the Ghostblood books are going to be Mistborn Era 3: 1980s Edition. Era 2 was anachronistic 1870-1930 pulp stuff: guns, trains, cars, planes, UFOs, ancient jungle temples, sitting room mysteries, superpowers, etc.

The upcoming Ghostblood trilogy by Brandon Sanderson is going to be an interesting question of genre definitions: the setting is 1980s Cold War like tech level and social structure, with computers and cars and such, but is fully secondary world.

You are being overly literal about a standard term of convenience: "Urban Fantasy" is less of a mouthful than "non-secondary world fantasy set in a contemporary context familiar to readers except with magic".

Sure, I mean, there is a lot of thst Togo around already?

A 5E Urban Arcana would seem to be the place to put modern tech level stuff, yes.

In literature, this is what Urban Fantasy refers to, it is a popular and diverse sub-genre of it's own.

Here's the thing: WotC could do Urban Fantasy without doing a new Setting, just revive Urban Arcana.

I mean, we are seeing a convergence of opinion from very different viewpoints here, but go off I guess...?

I mean, if WotC wanted to go out and do a "Universes Beyond" for D&D, Zelda would for one thing sell well, but also fit well with 5E rules.

Dungeon crawling puzzle games, with fighting against goblins and dragons. The D&D DNA is pretty strong from the original onwards.

Honestly it is kind of amazing, like Lost at it's peak: the land itself is gaslighting.

Yup, though I think Jordan had a stronger grasp than Lucas on how truly incompetent even the technically competent often are.

To be honest, it feels like distaste for that art is fairly ecumenical across boundaries: something to turn off everyone.
