[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 6946857, member: 6780330"] So, talking a bit about this in the UA thread, but... [MENTION=697]mearls[/MENTION] has mentioned on Twitter just yesterday that he is doing...something with Torog, a 4E Dawn War deity. My suspicion, which had been a popular hypothesis here on the boards, is that the Big Book of Crunch will actually lend crunch support, for DMs and players, for all these settings: the Mystic, the Artificer (maybe including Runecaster, Alchemist and Shaman subclasses...), Warforged, Dragonmarks, Kender, Wizards of High Sorcery, spelljammimg vessels, Defilers... Something along those lines, so that players who like those settings can use the fluff they already have, and homebrewers can sample from the buffet. I further hypothesize that we may eventually see books from D&D like the "Art of Magic the Gathering" series, which James Wyatt has described as system neutral campaign guides: so an "Art of Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron" book without rules, that anybody who plays in Eberron would like: 3.x, 4E, 5E, GURPS, Savage World...and reference the Big Book of Crunch for the 5E rules. Something more like that than previous ed support, anyways... [/QUOTE]
