And we see guilds take much of the space. Not the world. The products I mentioned had more variety of content in them.

I've seen what a setting can realistically have at its first forey. It can be a huge amounts like Forgotten Realms' Old Grey Box or Eberron's original campaign setting or Ravenloft's campaign box. Ravnica's containt ain't there. Not by a long shot.

Always revolt. Never surrender.

I think you're too optimistic on the "evergreeness" of a setting that focus so much on guilds and doens't develop the world all that much. Quickly players will want something else. You sound like you have a good imagination and you can provide that. But if you have to come up with your own...

I have a pretty good idea of what they are. They are the entire setting of Ravnica in that D&D supplement. It will get old fast. As Jester pointed out, there use to be a setting called Council of Wyrms where you played dragons. You could play it it for long Same for the 3e setting Ghostwalk. You...

The funny thing is that I already used Ravnica's parts in previous campaigns. I had a necromancer grow hallucinogenic mushrooms on zombies in the sewers of a city. That was the Golgari Swarm influence. In a village I had a ghost council of the village's founders run things. That des the Orzhov...

It isn't a book for anyone needs. In previous iterations of the game it wouldn't have been well recieved. But now people are starved for content, and will accepte anything. Even those who say they do not need content cause they can make it up (why buy it if you can come up with guilds yourself? ).

They won't. Settings get one book now. I'd be surprised it get even one AP.

That is even less sensical. It like buying the Old Grey Box and having only Suzail described.

Dark Sun and Spelljammer aren't comparable to Eberron. Yes Eberron is magitech and dragonmarks, but it is so much more. Those can be ignored and you can focus on the Inspired or Xendrik or the Lords of Dust, etc. Eberron has multiple facets. Dark Sun not so much althought they did try to change...

The book has 24 pages on tge world. Considering there might be email maps and art there will not be many locations.

Guilds, guilds and guilds. It is gonna grow old fast.

You have a better imagination than me. Valuable settings give me suggestions and help spark my imagination to figure those things out. Sometimes it is a copy/pasta, sometimes it doesn't even resemble the original idea.

Everywhere is an hyberbole, but yeah, I need details. The reason the FR became so popular was that the Old Grey Box was a very lenghty and detailed sandbox. It was different from say DragonLance that was just too tied up with the novels. The OGB sparked imagination, some of the work was already...

You'll just escort of caravan if someone proposes to you? You're probably the easiest player to DM I've seen.

Designers aren't limited to MtG formats when making books. They could have used Ravnica as a setting and added a tonne of iconic MtG spells, magical items, monsters, NPCs to make this book worthwhile. That is what makes a MtG D&D cross-over interesting. Not guilds. I do not recall anyone...

Yes, I know. It is a D&D product that adapts MtG material as it is advertized. Yet the MtG content is lacking. It just containt guilds that will be forgotten soon. This book is a missed opportunity to enrich D&D and player experience with MtG iconic spells, magical items, monsters, NPCs and...

On the back it says MtG meets D&D and the "MtG world of Ravnica to use in D&D". I would expect more MtG in my soup the it is presented. I'd also expect more of the world and less of the guilds.

I would expect Magic Missiles and Vorpal sword cards, like I expect iconic spells, items and monsters in a products that brings MtG to D&D. But that seems hard to grasp and strawmen are used instead. What a shame.

So a D&D inspired MtG card block wouldn't involve D&D. Got it.
