D&D 5E 3 Classic Settings Coming To 5E?

On the D&D Celebration – Sunday, Inside the D&D Studio with Liz Schuh and Ray Winninger, Winninger said that WotC will be shifting to a greater emphasis on settings in the coming years.

This includes three classic settings getting active attention, including some that fans have been actively asking for. He was cagey about which ones, though.

The video below is an 11-hour video, but the information comes in the last hour for those who want to scrub through.



Additionally, Liz Schuh said there would be more anthologies, as well as more products to enhance game play that are not books.

Winninger mentioned more products aimed at the mainstream player who can't spend immense amount of time absorbing 3 tomes.

Ray and Liz confirmed there will be more Magic: The Gathering collaborations.

It is really surprising that D&D hasn't had a core canid race.

Yeah I was observing this recently. If anything it might be too popular! We do have Pugmire and wide variety of other be a cat/dog-type 3PPs though.

Consider the problems that DS presents to the alignment grid.

How do you have Lawful Good if upholding the law, which sanctions chattel slavery, directly contradicts the furtherance of good, the autonomy and dignity of sentient beings? In theory, a Lawful Neutral character would willingly turn a blind eye to the plight of a slave while a Neutral Good character may help a king, who has a large number of slaves, retrieve some McGuffin.

Also, kill on sight in Dark Sun is almost always easier said than done.

And, of course, there will always be an edgelord who wants to play an evil character or run an evil campaign.

There's a whole lot of heavy lifting to be done.

it quickly becomes apparent that the Sorcerer Kings & the whole apparatus is keeping Rajaat sealed with a seal that needs yearly renewal. If you were to somehow overturn the whole thing you'd move darksun from a brutal place with a lot of people being crushed under authoritarian dictatorial mageocracies where some remnants of civilization is managing to hold on with a claw straight into nice job breaking it hero where the guy who triggered the mass genocides & near collapse of an extremely advanced civilization is now free to pick up where he left off with noone to stop him this time & civilization is in a complete freefall

Or you could throw in some Aarakokra, Lizardfolk, and a few others, and really lean into the ancient Egyptian mythology.

I mean a Jackal is a canid.

Well there's Anubis on the far right, and he's purported to have the head of a jackal. I figured that since jackals are mammals of the genus caninae, same as wolves, dogs, and coyotes, he would count.

EDIT: @Ruin Explorer beat me to the punch.

Would you count a werewolf as a canid?
