If the Realms are your bag, then they have more support than any other world. Want to scare players in Ravenloft? Yup, we have plenty of stuff for that. In fact, apart from Psionics rules to support Dark Sun (and, perhaps, how to handle Sha'irs in Al-Qadim), there are more than enough campaign worlds out there to be used by players coming in to 5E. They just need to know where to find them. WotC don't need to put effort into a 5E Realms book, or 5E Greyhawk book or any other such thing. There's plenty out there to borrow and adapt from. They can even promote the pdf's on sale from their site this way. I'd prefer that they put their energies into creating more adventures which can be used (Hoard of the Dragon Queen - from what I have read so far - is a pretty good start, and with solidified rules, the standard can only get better). What I would really like, however, is a set of guidelines for setting such adventures into any of the existing campaign settings. We'll assume that Forgotten Realms is the default (as it has been so far), then WotC could put out a web enhancement placing the adventures in Greyhawk or Dark Sun or Dragonlance - which ever of the worlds D&D has embraced over the years and players would want to enjoy.</blockquote>
