[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8093464, member: 7006"] And your list was... -Ravenloft -SpellJammer -Forgotten Realms Well, let see... first off the Forgotten Realms isn't a "classic setting". It's a CURRENT setting. It's the setting almost every book is set in. If they were going to update it... which they aren't... feel free to read the 350 other threads here on EN World over the past 4 years explaining why they [I]aren't[/I] going to make a new Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting guide. (Long story short, because WotC no longer cares about Realms canon and thus has absolutely no desire to write 300 pages of " new history" for the 30 different nations across Faerun that no one except like 15 people care about. If they were going to write one, they would have done it already.) And secondly... while I can kind of see a reason to suggest the Domains of Dread... the simple fact is we've already had a gothic horror mini-setting book (Curse of Strahd), and we are about to get another horror book released next month (Rime of the Frost Maiden). Couple this with the strong possibility that Innistrad is a candidate for one of the next Magic The Gathering setting books... I seriously doubt they are going to bother with a full Domains of Dread because that's trodding over similar ground repeatedly. Not when Dark Sun is a whole new type of adventure setting that they haven't touched upon yet. You may think they can't do Dark Sun because there's just "too much stuff" they would have to do to make it fit in a 5E book... but I guarantee you the designers of WotC are nowhere near as beholden to ALL the crap that has been made for Dark Sun in the past and will be more than willing to "dumb it down" for a more casual audience. They will not see the need to create a whole Dark Sun Monster Manual... they will be perfectly happy to just write a book that has probably 50 to 70 new monsters in it (like they did for [I]Theros, Frost Maiden[/I], and all the rest.)
