None of the art remotely resembles a land of mask-wearing witches and rustic berserker lodges either. It looks like Sigil, Stryxhaven, Eberron, Ravnica or some other high magitech location.

It seems to be quite a lot longer, so certainly those! If you build a bastion in Ravenloft, does that make you a dark lord? One thing that occurred to me is that as well as being a mechanical patch for VGR, it might also be a mechanical patch for CoS, in terms of updated monster stat blocks...

Have you looked at the art? Seen anything that looks like Thay or any other Forgotten realms location? We have Alustriel in Sigil, and a Hogwarts style wizard school with students happy, excited and engaged. I’m pretty sure Thayan wizard school is more like Dotheboys Hall. Lots of other pictures...

If a tree falls in the Shadowfell and there is no PC to observe it, does it make any sound?

He is established as being in Krynn, so no, he is not in Ravenloft. But it’s Sithicus that they won’t be doing, for the simple reason is you need to know a lot of lore around Krynn’s elves for it to make sense, and very few players are familiar with that these days. Soth himself gets recognised...

Soth appears in in V: EoR, and is still in Krynn. Indeed, the "current time" in Krynn, the War of the Lance is still raging. This can be liked to the "current date" in other settings since EoR is a crossover. Events that occur after that are still in the future. Of course time is whacked in...

Hodge would have been a good Hawkman if the script had been sharper.

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 older players 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.
