[QUOTE="Fabio Andrea Rossi, post: 7666987, member: 67378"] Just a quick thought that just happened to me: as all of D&D settings are part of the big Multiverse, what if they are thinking of one single Multiverse Setting Book/Resource? As so many pointed out before me, there's one ton of "old" fluff setting material out there, some of it excellent in quality and cheap in reach (digitally & legally, at least), to deliver the details. One single, massive resource book updating the Multiverse to 5E just outlining the gist of each setting, the main special rules (like the planes in the DMG but longer), where to get deeper fluff info for those interested and finally the latest changes to the setting would be interesting to a number of players, if there's enough of the main settings. And, to make my dreams even wilder, they may even re-release digitally the old "core" setting books just deleting crunch and keeping ever-lasting fluff at very low production & selling costs to get the "long tail" of the consumer. Heck, I'm sure many of us would rebuy them, as the success of RpgThru and the likes of it show. Am I daydreaming here? Probably yes, but I have to say that even if they come up with some completely different surprise it may not be bad at all...they earned some serious trust with this year books's quality, I think. The above sourcebook would also have the advantage to introduce players to all settings quickly and withouth waiting years to get to the damn Ravenloft or Planescape or whatever other setting you like most.
