This is exciting to me. I hope this format works because the idea of getting mini-settings mixed with adventures in those mini-settings is one that is really attractive to me.

I'd love to have seen Ravenloft done up this way - I personally tend to get a much better feel for a setting from adventures set in that setting rather than from pure setting write ups or even game fiction.

Looking at the page counts, they seem like a collection of one-shots. Those are valuable to have, but why have a gazetteer and lots of background information for a one-shot - when you play it and you're done in four hours?

Because DMs can use that info to create more extensive follow-up campaigns if they wish.

100% agreed

The point is a Stargate SG-1 style "Planet of the Week" style campaign: a series of one-shot Adventures, but with some meat for each Setting that can be reused or expanded by the DM...or on DMsGuild.

So it's kinda the opposite of something designed to be dropped into your existing campaign?

No, it's the uber thing with tons of things that could be dropped into your campaign. With a thing that can tie them together. Take what you want and leave the rest.

No, it's a both/and situation. It can be used to drop stuff in, but has a framework that allows for distinct Settings to be included.
