Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Grassy Gnoll" data-source="post: 7753989" data-attributes="member: 6788652">I know zero about m:tg and therefore just as much about Ravnica.But, put yourself in the shoes of Wizards.Any classic setting they produce will result in people who wanted a different one being upset, and probably those that wanted the one they put out being upset because it’s not exactly the same. For new players (of which I gather there are many, 5e being a huge onboarding success), they won’t care. They’ll be excited and then see on any forums a bunch of in-my-dayism and feel negativity.So why not come out with something new?Everyone is on the same page then. Anyone who plays m:tg will be happy to see a crossover. I don’t know what the numbers are for players of each game but one presumes they’ve done the maths and found the Venn diagram has a bigger (possibly younger also?) m:tg circle. They already own the IP and it’s probably easier to convert than completely start afresh, so...no brainer, surely?FWIW, knowing nothing, the cover is intriguing to me. Science/tech/magic feel. Seems quite interesting.I know nothing again about Eberron or Sigil (I should change my username to Jon Snurr), but from little I have acquired en passant, there are thematic/stylistic elements that provide a certain crossover in Ravnica (steampunkish nexus hive of scum and villainy), so perhaps they hope to provide some of these touchstones?I dunno. I love the idea of something new, and didn’t they put out an UA a while ago with m:tg races? I seem to recall it being quite flavourful. TL;DR: ooh shiny.</blockquote>
