D&D 5E 2022 WoTC Books?

[Mercurius]

Maybe it is just wishful thinking, but I still think they might--or at least, they should (imo)--approach the planes and such with a big MULTIVERSE product that includes Spelljammer, Planescape, and Planeswalking, among other possible ways of viewing and traveling within the larger D&D cosmos.

A cap-setting, if you will, and then future products that dive into them each more specifically, as setting-adventure hybrids.

Maybe that is what they mean by "new format" or "something they haven't done before": incorporating multiple settings into one product.

There's a new version of Kamigawa coming? Is it actually written this time at least in part by people whose cultures it was appropriating?

Writing about another culture is not automatically "appropriation" just because it's white people doing it. That's a dilution of the term that only makes it harder for actual appropriation to be taken seriously.

Also, Japan is a rich First World country that regularly produces works such as Fate: Grand Order, (aka indiscriminately looting history and mythology to create better waifus: the game), that never seems to attract any outrage about appropriation.

Is it too much to ask for a DragonLance starter set? i.e., D&D starter for levels 1-6, with Krynn during the War of the Lance as a theme. Starting adventure is something like the PCs escorting a young mage to a Tower of Wizardry at the opening of the war. Something where you don't play as the Heroes of the Lance, but they may have cameos?

I really like the idea of having multiple starter sets, each designed around a specific setting and sub-genre.

And Star Frontiers isn't even D&D.

Not yet; but D&D will assimilate all Hasbro owned settings. Why would they ever publish anything that uses less well known, likely to be slower selling, rules?

(I am not saying that it will be a 2022 setting. I am saying that if it is ever a published setting they will use the D&D rules with small additions for higher
technology. In any case they would publish a Kamigawa Neon Dynasty book first.)

Those were not published by WOTC. Won't publish non D&D themselves is not equal to won't license things out.

A Planesjammer metasetting product is still possible, if unlikely. WotC knows their is interest in such a product.
