[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8208807, member: 10148"] Besides popularity in the poll, Planescape and planar stuff generally was referenced several times in Tasha's, and I believe it's an acknowledged favorite of some of the D&D design team. It's also one of the settings that would require the least new rules to execute. I would have been with you on Dark Sun, since they also have psionics rules now, but folks in the thread have pointed out its themes could be more trouble to address than they're worth. So I wouldn't be so sure. Meanwhile, Dragonlance has new novels coming out, and they released that UA with dragon-themed subclasses, which clearly indicates something dragon-related is in the works. (Though I suppose they could be doing some unrelated dragon-based book in 2022.) Plus, celebrity D&Der Joe Manganiello has been shilling for Dragonlance for years now. Of course, Hickman and Weis certainly aren't doing the Dragonlance IP any favors lately, but if they were doing a Dragonlance setting book, I imagine they started it a while back and wouldn't be likely to toss all that work aside (unless the brand became really toxic). As a sidenote, a planar/Planescape book could also let them make nods to more of the less popular settings. And there was already a lot of Greyhawk, and one mention of Mystara, in Tasha's... [/QUOTE]
