[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8252271, member: 6780330"] I'd say the amount the Rabiah Scale matters is tied to whether any D&D coverage of a Magic Setting has to tie in to a card game product: so far, all Planeshift articles (booklets, really) and Setting books have coincided with a card Set release (though the Theros book was delayed by several months, so Theros was no longer the current Set in the card game when we got it, the design intention was to be out at the same time). In terms of the Settings which got Planeshift documents but not full D&D books...the Planeshifts are still free to download on the DMs Guild, and WotC still has the Art of Magic the Gathering books they are companions also in print and being sold by WotC (those books are super cool, anybody who likes fantasy art and world building should check them out). Just as Ravnica and Theros didn't get Art of Magic the Gathering books, so too I think James Wyatt might be right that Dominaria or Innistrad already have everything they need to run 5E: the Art books were conceived and written as system neutral Campaign Setting books, and the Planeshifts give them 5E rules. The Rabiah scale isn't quite absolute with regards to Magic Sets, though it reflects Rosewater's best judgement and he heads up the team that makes those decisions. For instance, Kamigawa is low on this totem pole, but the hip word is that WotC has applied for trademarks for something called "Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty" along with other hints at a magitech cyberpunk overhaul to the Setting.
