D&D 5E Chris Perkin Youtube Short on Vecna adventure.

In this case, the adventure is apparently about running around the multiverse, which my Ptolus PCs won't be doing. Which is fine. I've got plenty of other stuff for them to do.

Could use the other "worlds" as locations, regions, or continents on your home world.

I'm thinking about doing that, havent decided until I see it.

Yeah, it depends on where the adventure actually goes. My campaign, and its associated spin-offs, have done stuff all over the globe and more of that is never bad.

I'm not sure it is. It could also just be doing something that D&D can do, that competitors cannot -- go to Ravenloft, go to Sigil, go to Elminster's bachelor pad, etc. If you're trying to double down on iconic branding, MTG settings don't do that yet.

Maybe. Lord knows Archivos/Strixhaven could use more fleshing out.

The D&D versions of these settings are actually very different to varying degrees from the MtG versions.

The second largest city in Akrocoan territory doesn't exist in D&D Theros, the physics are different, the Gods of D&D Theros are more powerful, and the setting is more stable then MtG Theros, there are cities in D&D Theros that don't appear in MtG Theros, D&D Theros has Bards, and Paladins, MtG Theros doesn't, etc..., MOoT also talks about what happens if a Theros demon and Abyss Demon meets up. Its confirmed in be set in the Material Plane and D&D Theros calls the Nyx & Underworld seperate Planes from Theros, in MtG Theros they are different regions of a single Plane.

There are creatures in Ravnica that can Planeshift, etc...

Strixhaven is filled with D&D races, sets the origins of Owlin as the Feywild, has Slaads and other D&D monsters in it, and refers to D&D spells and such. The MtG Strixhaven does none of that.

So these are MtG inspired D&D settings, not MtG settings with some D&D mechanics. There is no reason not to include them.

For alot of younger players of 5e, even ones who never played MtG, D&D Theros and Ravnica as settings have been around alot longer in 5e then most classic D&D settings except FR, Eberron, & Ravenloft sort of, and maybe feel to them like more iconic D&D settings then say Darksun, Planescape, Dragonlance, Spelljammer, etc...

Surprised no one has mentioned The Far Realms. Seems like a solid bet to me.

Aside from that, I think it's more likely we will see places mentioned but not much visited, such as the elemental planes, outer planes and non-Ravenloft Shadowfell, along with nostalgic cameos from "forgotten" settings like Mystara. The more obscure the better. Aside from that, there will be the obligatory "everyone here is made out of silly string" type worlds (see: Everything Everywhere, Doctor Strange), and alternative starts for whatever world the PCs happen to originate from.

I think the MtG worlds very unlikely to appear. Those where just one shot fire and forget books.

Except they weren't Forgotten, they pop up in Fizban's Treasury of Dragons.

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

Yeah. The multiverse. Which is why we've gotten jack from every other campaign setting aside from one particular tiny area of Forgotten Realms - and not a single decent campaign guide to Faerun.

Curious, what is the logic behind this statement? How does multiverse = FR only? Or are you being sarcastic?

 

[Oofta]

Hand-headed cultists for every campaign!

If you're going to do it, go all in!

I guess if he's right, the Dragonlance Campaign I'm currently running for my group exists only in our collective imagination...

 

[Hatmatter]

To be fair, the announced that years ago, like in the first year or two of the launch of 5e IIRC

Very true. It has been the reality with regard to AD&D since I began playing in ~1980-1983. Gary Gygax addressed it many times, perhaps most explicitly in the foreword to 1985's Unearthed Arcana. The 2014 PHB's inclusion of deities from a selection of cultures and D&D worlds underscores this, as does the 2014's DMG's mention of Abeir-Toril, Oerth, Krynn, Athas, etc. when mentioning styles and genres of play and in other places.

I mean...in a big way, it does.
