[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9106709, member: 6802378"] Ravenloft has been redesigned to allow more space for ideas by players and 3PPs inDMGuild. I dare to say Hasbro is happy with the new Spelljammer in the sense they have got a franchise could be used to sell toys, videogames and other products in the future. The city of Greyhawk could become a "planar hub" like Sigil or Radiant Citadel because the dungeons of the near castle Greyhawk are a demiplane with planar portals toward other worlds, places in the same planet, in the same wildspace or alternate wildspaces. Then lots of "new" species in Oerth would be from the castle Ravenloft, as refugees escaping some horrible fate in their original world. Maybe there is a planar gate from Greyhawk toward Nentir Vale. My fear about Dark Sun is Hasbro fears this could be used as a satire about the "climate emergency" by both sides. A new DS is possible, but it would be only the same title, and a radically different setting instead the original Athasian tablelands. Something has happened and now the Athasian state-cities are in an infernal plane. The good new is the innocent souls were "raptured" and sent to a better and safer place. There is slavery in that infernal city-states, but only with souls of criminal sinners. This "new" Athasian tablelands would be a supernatural realm in the same way the comingsoon "Duskmourn: House of Horrors". Then this new DS would be like "Jackandor but with a horrible neighbour". * Why not to unlock Ghostwalk in the DMGuild? The risk shouldn't be too high. How would be a "reverse isekai" where the PCs are ghost who can travel to a world with modern technology (then we shouldn't worry about firearms breaking the power balance), but this is a virtual simulation like Matrix, and potential breakout of zombie-like (plantouched-)elemental monsters? Or the ghost PCs from D&D traveling and exploring "Gamma World". Or a spin-off of Duskmourn but in a retrofuturist (Atomic Heart, Fallout, Bioshock) megacity full of archologies (superskyscrappers) (A mixture of "Escape from New York, Jurasick Park and Terminator). * Jackandor should be totally rebooted to can add all the "players' option" (PC species and classes). * How would be the WotC version of Hasbro franchises as Visionaries or Micronauts? * How could be the D&D version of almost forgotten no-Hasbro franchises, for example Hanna-Barbera cartoons "Pirates of the Dark Waters" and "Wildfire"?
