Message: <blockquote data-quote="hawkeyefan" data-source="post: 7250796" data-attributes="member: 6785785">Whenever any of the primary designers are asked about settings, they say that they do plan on getting to them. But which settings and in what capacity and at what point....those details they do not share. I don't have any links to provide evidence, but I know I've read that on more than one occasion.But, just because something is said to be part of the plan doesn't mean it actually will wind up happening. Honestly, I see the introduction of any alternate setting as kind of a step back, in a way. And I say that as a fan of several of the settings. Currently they are doing what they can to expand the game and the player base. They're altering past models of how game material is presented and how it's divided along player/DM lines. They are trying to reach as broad an audience as possible. Publishing a setting book is a shift away from that. It's a niche product that by definition will appeal to a smaller audience. It appeals to the nostalgia of fans who were around when those settings first appeared and also to a section of the main audience that may find the setting that's offered appealing. So I'd only expect to see a product like that once sales have leveled and it seems they've got as large an audience as they're likely to get. Until then, it doesn't make any sense to spend the time amd resources on a product that won't have the same potential for mass appeal. Unless they come up with a way to present setting material in a way that can also be a mass appeal book. They did a great job with Curse of Strahd, but other settings may be more challenging.</blockquote>
