The answer is yes. That setting is the multiverse, which includes all #dnd worlds.""The worlds occupy pockets of the Material Plane—sort of like planets but in a space shaped by magic and divine "forces.This prompted me to go back and look at a tweet by Chris Perkins: "I'm proud that 5E embraces all worlds and settings. I can't wait to show y'all what we're working on now."Now, up front, I want to acknowledge that there are several ways to interpret what that means for future products and that both gentleman might simply be stating a philosophy unrelated to specific product development.However, if one were to let go of caution and just wildly speculate (what? on the internet?), one might consider the following idea: The WotC folk have consistently said they want to support all worlds. Perkins' tweet might be taken (-- yes totally speculating--) to hint either that he is working on something besides FR (as speculated in this thread) or that he is working on a project that helps 'embrace all worlds and settings' Now, clearly, producing hard back books with detailed descriptions of every campaign setting is simply not in the cards. But if we accept that WotC would like to have some mechanism to support multiple worlds, maybe some more than others, is there a unified mechanism for them to do that? Could you imagine a web project, crowdsourced or licensed, that pulled together materials from various settings updated to 5e through a common 'multiverse' portal? Might there be a sourcebook that details building worlds that uses some of the favorites (Greyhawk, DL, etc.) as examples?I honestly don't have a good grasp of how they might achieve such a goal. But I keep seeing this theme of wanting to support a broad base. I keep wondering if they're trying to come up with a clever way to do that. Anyway. Just thinking about it. It could well be they will simply point to previously published material. But, who knows, maybe there is something more interesting than just one or two campaign books in the cards.OK. Back to work.AD</blockquote>
