D&D 5E The Great Avatar Bet: A Longterm Setting Speculation Forum Game

I don’t bet, but I’ll predict.

What I want:
2023. Dark Sun or Nentir Vale or Mystara.
2024. Meh.

Which means that we’ll get:
2023. Planescape.
2024. Forgotten Realms.

I can appreciate that: it wouldn't have likely gotten a higher page count ad a single book, and probably a similar spread based on Ravenloft and Strixhaven. I had a good feeling at first, and the more I consider the table utility the more cool I am with it.
I like the table utility of three books and the other components in the slip case. The page count bothers me.
 


Yeah, it'd be more exciting with 3 92 page books.
Exactly - though I will say I'd be happy to sacrifice some pages from the monster book to allow more space for the actual campaign setting part.

edit: perhaps pedantic to point out, but probably 96 pages - D&D book page counts are always multiples of 16. I assume an accident of the printing / binding process.

Most books. It’s a function of printing. The most common are 8- 16- and 32-page signatures.

Yup, it's a bindery thing: 16 or 32 page sections. Applies to most books, see also TSR page counts back in the day, or Paizo today.

In fact, it's enough of an ironclad rule of printing, that the free material may have originally been meant for print, but they didn't want to kill people with sticker shock for above $70 prices, and 3 64 page books was the compromise.
