If Valachan, I'Cath, Souragne, etc. were deemed too problematic to keep in their original form, what was the value of reviving those particular domains at all? (Especially I'Cath, which is not exactly one of the better-known lands.) If someone really loved the old version of the domain, and never had a problem with it to start with, you're just going to upset them. If someone new comes in, they won't care that the new domain has an old name, so applying it is a waste of time... or worse, they will like the fact that it has "history", only to be turned off when they actually dig into older versions. If Wizards thought a domain was trouble, it seems like it would have been much smarter to either focus on other, less difficult domains, or invest more in new ones (which they clearly had ideas for - they just gave most of them old names). Unless, as some suggested, the "fix" is the point. Not sure how well that worked out with I'Cath, though...Sure, and honestly, a lot of what's in the new Ravenloft looks great. (Dementlieu 2.0 sounds cool, for example - but again, why is it called "Dementlieu"?) However, they could have had all this great new stuff without erasing what came before. Having to do one or the other is a false choice - the Forgotten Realms has managed to do both in 5E, after all.This also makes me very curious how the other two classic settings are going to be handled. Are you hardcore Spelljammer fans really sure you want it back? You aren't the demographic they want anymore...</blockquote>
