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.

Yeah, it's good fun.Put me down as Team Dark Sun 2023 and Greyhawk 2024.
Feels like a coin flip to me, but getting my avatar changed would be funny.
I like the table utility of three books and the other components in the slip case. The page count bothers me.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.
Yeah, it'd be more exciting with 3 96 page books.I like the table utility of three books and the other components in the slip case. The page count bothers me.
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.Yeah, it'd be more exciting with 3 92 page books.
Most books. It’s a function of printing. The most common are 8- 16- and 32-page signatures.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.
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.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.

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.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.
