We know she was happy with the outcome, and we know that she hated Soth in Ravenloft. The lore changes in VGR are permanent. WotC aren’t going to wind them back because some old crusties can’t abide change.

The metaphysics isn’t what the players see, only the adventures. And they almost always happen in domains.

According to the portion of text that is visible, this Cthulhu is not a prisoner. Every time you adapt a literary character, you create a new version of that character. There are lots of different Draculas, lots of different Frankensteins, lots of different Sherlock Holmes, and not quite as many...

There isn’t really much left of the Shadowfell that isn’t Ravenloft. Domains of Delight has the entirety of the Feywild divided into domains.

We know she has been in negotiations with WotC, so someone seems to think it matters.

Adventures are specifically DM targeted, so yes, the split is Player Book/DM book. With the player book expected to sell more copies. No reason to put any setting specific stuff in the player book though, setting books are for DMs, and splat books historically sell better than setting books.

Sithicus doesn’t make sense unless Dragonlance is a current setting. Soth is pictured under Age of Champions. Champions of Krynn makes sense. Weis was happy with what WotC were doing, and she hated Soth in Ravenloft. So no, Sithicus is going to remain destroyed.

Possibly, or possibly because they think more people will buy a generic splat book than yet another FR setting book.

Full size book would be 80, not 60. So no.

My partner is the real crime fiction expert, but I think it’s fairly typical of Marsh. In fact Alleyn is so bland that I think she is deliberately trying to keep the detective out of the spotlight. But relegating the detective to minor character is something most of them do occasionally, all...

Sure, neither do I, but I can look at the evidence and make inferences. Sure, but why is the adventure separate? The cost suggests they could easily be combined into one book - and that would actually be more profitable since fewer covers equals cheaper printing costs. I would suggest it was...

Try reading them - there is nothing to suggest they are Thayan. They seem more Sigil if anything. A few other points: The marketing for the adventure makes no secret of the setting. However the marketing of the splat book makes no mention of FR. The book contains what are, in effect, core...

The faction text that is visible in the photo is clearly not FR related.

If it has hit points, we can kill it.

Quite. I've never had the remotest interest in getting in the sea or on a boat, so I'm not frightened of sharks. I used to be afraid of dogs, managed to overcome that.
