WotC has hinted at avoiding a glut of player's option splatbooks for 5E, and that it wants 5E to be highly modular and flexible with regards to gamestyle. Building on these assumptions, WotC might lean towards more DM's option-type sourcebooks in this edition; alongside new campaign settings and fully-supported adventures, it could also publish books of variant rules and modules that share a theme.[sblock="For example"]The Ravenloft Campaign Setting could be published along with the Tyranny of Strahd adventure/event and a Heroes of Horror book of horror-themed rules modules.Birthright could appear alongside a Fantastic Kingdoms sourcebook that spelled-out rules for mass combat and ruling nations.[/sblock]Obviously this is just uninformed speculation, but there's no reason the DMG needs to cover every single possible playstyle option in detail right out of the gate.</blockquote>
