D&D 5E Is there any indication that WotC will launch a new setting?

Well, the setting is extremely light in the adventures: easy enough to repurpose for Generica, Land of D&D. The old 1E & BECMI modules had no setting, or just the lightest of assumed setting that could be repurposed...as with 5E adventures.

You can re-purpose them, sure. I'm just saying its pretty impossible to write an adventure without SOME kind of setting. Just layouts and monsters without storyhooks aren't engaging.

I'm actually not a huge collector of monsters. My campaigns tend to be a bit more city and intrigue based. That made VttM pretty easy to pass up.

Now, fiends and undead are a bit more interesting, because they don't really have an ecology and can be inserted into games as minions or masters easily enough. I've pondered grabbing the monsters from OotA, for that reason.

Ah, that makes sense.
