[QUOTE="Belen, post: 9345258, member: 1405"] Why? The DMs are the main controllers of the D&D experience so the focus is going to have to follow that crowd. The core of D&D is still focused around dungeons crawls and adventuring. It is advantageous for them to maintain their brand versus following the latest TikTok buzz. In fact, many brands have seen a collapse by chasing trends and destroying their core audience for a new one that does not exist. Stranger Things, Critical Role, and the YT D&D influencers have kept the core experience largely intact so younger players can certainly appreciate the core experience and settings. The new PHB goes farther by including Spelljammer, Planescape, etc so it does provide a broad avenue for players. Most likely, they will let third parties create the niche content, and it is niche, and they may select the most successful for inclusion in D&D Beyond (Humblewood, for example.) [/QUOTE]
