DragonlanceYou've got automatic cash-cow tie-ins with both new novels and classic novel reprints, and content that was born to be reworked for 5E. It's mentioned more in the core books than any setting other than Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk. It hasn't been touched yet - nor licensed for a classic treatment elsewhere, despite 5E now being out for six years. It's practically inevitable. Also, it does fill a distinct niche - the adventure paths, to date, have all been done at what I call "Faerun Scale"- what the heroes accomplish may be a big deal, but it hardly makes them or their achievements the center of the setting. But doesn't everyone, at some point, want to play out a world-saving epic - be their own Fellowship of the Ring? DL fills this naturally. I hope they use the Backgrounds system to create backgrounds to fill the classic roles of the Heroes of the Lance, and then tie-in the events in the story to those backgrounds (which was basically what I did back when I tried to run it in 3E - had everyone make characters with certain events or traits in their background, so that the roles would be filled).2. Dark SunPsionics is coming out in two months. Everyone's been asking for it - and it was the only non-FR setting to get the treatment in 4E. It has distinct hooks and a distinct identity. It's pretty obvious.3. PlanescapeSee Dark Sun. Ravnica seems like a test run for this, really.Dark Horses:Spelljammer - a strong "maybe". The Spelljammer Helm in Dungeon of the Mad Mage seems like a tease. Still think Planescape is more likely, as Planescape's lore tie-ins and direct mentions have been stronger over the years.Mystara - weirder things have happened. What makes me think this is a possibility is that it is mentioned several times in the 5E Core Books. I just wonder what the 5E "hook" for it's identity would be... which is an interesting question in of itself...</blockquote>
