Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charlaquin" data-source="post: 8325859" data-attributes="member: 6779196">A few things to keep in mind:• The set was originally designed as a generic D&D themed magic set before the decision was made to put it in an actual D&D setting.• Forgotten Realms was probably chosen as the setting to put it in because it’s the assumed default setting in 5e.• This set is probably being targeted primarily at magic players and secondarily at 5e players.• 5e does not currently have a Grayhawk setting book, and it is not on DMs guild.• Mordenkainen’s name appears in the title of a 5e book and he has appeared in a published 5e adventure path. Vecna has two artifacts that appear in the DMG, and Acererak has been the primary antagonist of a published 5e adventure path.Given these facts, it’s likely that the majority of the target audience for this set is not terribly familiar with Grayhawk, but would likely recognize these characters anyway.See above: for these reasons, it’s likely the majority of the target audience for this set isn’t terribly familiar with Elminster, but they would probably recognize Mordenkainen. I believe it’s also been confirmed that there is going to be a Mordenkainen card. It’s possible that his card could be a legendary creature and the blue planeswalker could be Elminster. But it seems more likely that Mordenkainen will be the blue planeswalker, which would mean if we get an Elminster card, it will probably be a legendary creature.</blockquote>
