D&D General Do THIS, WotC!

I'm a simple moogle. I enjoyed Innistrad, I enjoyed Theros, I enjoyed Ixalan, Amonkhet, and Strixhaven...now I would love to see:

Even if it's just another little free Plane Shift .pdf, I wouldn't complain.

They...are making a Lorwyn book...?

For the life of me, I just don't understand why WotC didn't years (or decades) ago offer a simpler variant, even bringing back "Basic" vs. "Advanced," but in a more literal sense.

I suppose, maybe, they didn't want to confuse people, or compete against themselves. But I think a more "basic D&D" could potentially be very popular, and give a stronger on-ramp to the fuller game (but wouldn't have to).

They were apparently considering doing that in 2014, with the plan being to label the Core books as "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"...but discovered during market research that it was a major turn off and people didn't like the idea.

The Basic/Advanced framework probably was always a terrible idea that hurt TSR.

Alas, they aren't. That's just the box art from the Lorwyn boxed set, some sloppy MS Paint, and my own wishful thinking.

There's only so many D&D players. So having Basic and Advanced does nothing but split the playerbase.

It's not even "Self-Competing", really. It's just a matter of making it needlessly harder to find a table as a player, or players as a DM.

Darksun.

And a planar book based on the Blind Eternities replacing the astral and etc. (granted, there's enough info to do it my self)
Imagine if they focused on it and made new dnd stuff for it.

No...they are actually making a Lorwyn D&D book. They announced that a few months ago at Magic Con. No joke, that is actually happening.

I don't trust WotC's current design philosophy enough to trust them with anything new, but I could get behind reprints of their older stuff. A series of volumes fully reprinting the Strategic Review and Dragon Magazine wouldn't go awry, for example.
