Interesting. Winninger emphasized that we were getting two returns to classic settings this year, with a nod to a third, and made clear that these were not M:tG settings. He did not, however, say that we wouldn't get a M:tG setting on top of those three. I wonder if Kamigawa is the theoretical...

I mean - Ravenloft has a pretty rich and detailed history when you look at the total lifetime of D&D, and everything other than Barovia was left on the cutting room floor for the first eight years of 5e. It's easy for us grognards to look at the grand history of a setting - especially one we're...

We're in agreement - my original guess was an adventure where the party travels to Lantan, perhaps by way of the portal in the Lantanese embassy in Waterdeep. Boo getting kidnapped to pilot / provide a power mechanism for a spelljammer would be perfect. There, they get ahold of a spelljamming...

It’s really outside the context of this thread, but I would argue the exact opposite - Curse of Strahd was, I believe, written with the assumption that this was the only book Ravenloft was going to get in 5e.

Oh - I'm in no way saying it's wrong, just that it's a way weaker leap than the giff funko pop or the UA that we got. For many of us among the ancient dead, seeing Boo doesn't elicit a response of "oh hey Spelljammer", but rather: ...now of course, were it to be an adventure that began in the...

I dunno - I agree on the giff, but I still think the Boo connection is the most tenuous part of the connections people are drawing.

Fair - the gentleman's agreement between @Parmandur and I wasn't over whether or not Spelljammer wasn't going to make an appearance, but what that would look like. They argued that Winninger had called it a 'setting project', and that that inherently meant a campaign setting book - I still...

Really! That's the first time I've seen someone argue that Spelljammer wasn't coming back in any form - what do you think it'll be instead?

if we’re allowed 3pp settings: Midnight + Hollow World: the Dark Lord’s subjugation of the world is nearly complete - the last remaining bastion of our Heroes is hidden away deep below the surface. Vaguely Matrix-y, now that I think of it.

Did you and I have different terms for out avatar bets? I bet mine over whether it was a Big Summer Adventure vs. a Campaign Setting.

Wait, ©2017? Probably just an (unfortunate) coincidence, in that case.

I'm not sure it's much of a tea leaf to read, but the recent leak of D&D-themed magic cards does include a card entitled, "Traverse the Outlands".

A more serious response: Dragonlance, as others has said, seems to be a lock for this year. Planescape would be a good fit for the 'multiverse' theme they're leaning into, and seems to have a number of devoted older fans *. Left field guess: Ravenloft seems quite popular these days; maybe bring...

The glorious return of the D&D branded woodburning set:

What would 'becom[ing] one of the main lines' entail, do you suspect?

I'm honestly trying to recall - have they done this amount of build-up in the past for anything other than the big summer adventures?

Only because it seems to be perennially 50% off or so on Amazon - I don't have the sales numbers.

Did the Strahd: Revamped box end up on Target shelves? I wonder how (what I suspect was the relatively sluggish) sales numbers for that would impact their decision to do more non-starter boxed sets.
