WotC D&D Universes Beyond

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

WotC appears to be at least considering creating a Universes Beyond-style line of D&D products.

If, like me, you don't play Magic: the Gathering, Universes Beyond is a line of branded sets that take MTG mechanics and produce Spider-Man, Final Fantasy, Ghostbusters and other card games.

Although Hasbro has previously licensed out a number of their IP to Renegade Game Studios to produce Transformers, GI Joe and My Little Pony RPGs, it sounds like, going forward, the goal will be to do this kind of thing in-house, presumably with Hasbro IP, but maybe others as well. (After all, Final Fantasy doesn't belong to Hasbro.)

So, what products do you expect D&D's Universes Beyond line to tackle? Which ones do you hope it will? Do you want Monopoly to be an urban D&D setting? A Clue-branded mystery adventure? Do your players continually ask to meet Peppa Pig?

Of Hasbro properties I like Clue for this

Of non-Hasbro (because UB has included many more non-Hasbro than it has Hasbro) I want Dragaera, The Hunger and The Dusk, Shadow and Bone, and Legends & Lattes

If I were the Legends & Latte author (who is a former big-time videogame developer, as I recall), I would have Kickstarted a sourcebook yesterday.

Travis is also very local to WotC (like from the same part of the metro area).
