Not surprisingly, it turns out that a lot of people cared about these topics, and we had one of our biggest turnouts ever for a survey. So what did we learn?"So, we can assume the info gleaned is good, right? Relatively large sample size, pointed questions, sounds good to me. I mean, ok. I assume that "equally" is an overstatement, but even so, the fact that the results were close enough to group these together is significant. And these are settings which require new rules, right? I mean, Eberron isn't Eberron with just what's in the PHB. Even the UA article only gets Artificer and some of the races, but leaves out Dragonmarks, any guidelines for a different magic item economy than the core assumptions, etc. And from what I've seen, almost no one likes how they did the Artificer. And look, we're still playing Eberron in 4e right now, because I just don't have time to convert everything we are using to 5e, from Artificer, to Dragonmarks, to Kalashtar, to magewrights.  From the March '15 article: So...no word on if that is ever going to happen? The other settings need some love, too, even if I don't care to use them as settings, myself. I'll definitely use elements of Planescape and DS. ANd some settings are just really easy to bridge the small remaining gap in coverage. Would it be that hard to update the mechanics of a Dragonlance campaign book with 5e versions of the mechanical options presented? Put it on the guild for 20 bucks, we'll buy it! Or if that is too much to ask, just give up a UA article with Kender, playable Draconians, High Sorcery Wizard traditions, and whatever other little bits are missing. So, do we think they're going to give Eberron and Planescape and Dark Sun the Ravenloft treatment? Give us 1/4 of a setting guide built into an adventure storyline, and hope we're satisfied? Anyone think we'll get an actually setting book for one or more new setting next year? Would it be rude to badger Mike on twitter about following up on that "expect an update by the end of this year" line? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
