Whether it was successful in doing so, I don't know. I expect that the Critical Role setting and adventure books did more to bring new players than the MtG settings, but that's just a gut feeling. I really liked Ravnica, in part because I thought it was an interesting setting, but also because it was new to D&D. Updatting older settings for 5e is also nice, but D&D has so much history and old adventures and settings that they could just keep recycling them for new generations. I would rather that ALSO continue to offer new settings and new adventures.Personally, I feel WotC has done a good job balancing bringing back the old and bringing in the new. That's probably why both sides are complaining. "They keep recycling old material and have no new ideas!"  "Why have they forsaking X setting?  Why don't they care about long-time fans."It seems like everyone is complaining but they are still keeping 5e quite profitable. They are doing something right, even if it isn't fully pleasing any one contingent of the fandom. But since not complaining means I'm doing the Interet wrong, I will make one complaint. I think there cadence for releasing new settings is about right, but I wish they would offer more adventure support for the different settings. Though, as I type this, I realize that one thing I keep forgetting is Adventurer's League. There is a LOT of 5e adventuring material. Each season tends to be tied to their big physical adventure book and/or setting release. These basically serve a similar role that thin adventure modules served in the "old days."  And, HEY, it is actually official 5e content that WotC offers in PDF format. But we still complain.  But I'm not giving up on my complaining just yet. While I don't expect that they will release an expensive, hard cover book of adventures with every setting they publish, I would like to see the AL adventures in DDB. THAT would be awesome! And would end this complaint for me. I mean, I will still find other things to complain about.  I am a D&D fan after all.</blockquote>
