Ravnica: Is This The New D&D Setting? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

If so... meh?

 

[Azzy]

Thank you WOTC people for continuing to encourage me to look elsewhere to spend my money. I think that I will pick up Bash Fantasy or purchase one of the following non-fantasy games from Precis Intermedia: EarthAD.2, Coyote Trail, or Hard Nova.

In the meantime, I think that I will also hold off on some additonial DM Guild purchases and try to line up a game of Barbarians of Lemuria, Earthdawn 1e, Warhammer 1e, or Cortex Plus Heroic to meet my current fantasy itch!

Such drama!

I have realized something about the product images for these. They all have "Ages 12+" on them. No other 5E product has that on the cover.

I do wonder if this will include new subclasses and the like

I need to get my murder circus freak on legitly

Or my sky police freak on

Or my lawmage freak on

Or my rotfarmer reak on

Or my...

Most likey do to some of the contents of Ravnica. One of the big factions is literally a murder circus. and another will literally work you till your dead and then until your very soul wears out.

Considering those articles were unplaytested Homebrew, I would expect radical change from Crawford's editing.

I think you mean Wyatt, but the point remains.

Edit: wait reverse that. You meant Crawford’s editing of Wyatt’s proposal. Carry on

Not my favorite MTG setting, but could be interesting.

Having done a lot of research into Ravnica way back when I was writing Agents of Artifice, I have to say that it could make a fascinating D&D setting. This isn't anything I saw coming, and might not have been my first choice, but I don't think it's a bad thing, and it could be amazingly cool.

As for people wondering about working Planeswalker or "color magic" mechanics into the book... Why? I mean, maybe they're going to, but it's not remotely necessary. It is certainly possible--and I very much hope--that this is "Ravnica as D&D setting," as opposed to "Magic: the Gathering in D&D." If that's so, it would be about building the setting so it's thematically the same, but mechanically works around D&D rules, not M:tG rules.

If that's what they've chosen to do, I'd buy this in a heartbeat, for all that I might have preferred something else.

Exactly. This is “experience Ravnica in a whole new way”!

Yeah, Crawford is the rules editing overlord, so Wyatt's off the clock Homebrew has not likely made it through unchanged. Ineed, one of the big UA articles this year was cowrittwn by them, assuredly for this product.

Maybe take a break until something more solid is announced? At this point, we don't know what is coming.

I know for a fact that this is the next book. Of course I couldn't say anything until it was announced, but barring pictures and any changes they've made. I've read the book already. If I were going to spend my money on this or Dragon Heist, it would be this. My name will be in both books, so I will probably pick both up.

Some ppl are reporting Eberron is showing as an option to publish material in the dmsguild. Can someone confirm?

You may know what is in this book, but that does not speak as to whether there is other setting support on the way.
