Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 6767864" data-attributes="member: 42582">[MENTION=7635]Remathilis[/MENTION]'s breakdown seems pretty comprehensive to me.I remember reading something in the past few years suggesting that Planescape doesn't sell that well, despite having a very loyal fanbase. Since 3E's MotP it's seemed pretty clear that PS is going to be incorporated into planar material (this was also the case in 4e) rather than presented as its own thing.And having just recently been reading the original Ravenloft campaign book, it's clearly a vibe ("Gothic Horror") plus a set of mechanics ("the mists"; Fear and Horror checks, which are in the 5e DMG already; and changes to magic, including corruption mechanics) plus what is really a set of vignettes/mini-campaigns rather than a full and integrated world.Eberron I can't comment on, but Dragonlance I think is more likely to recur as an adventure (it's original incarnation) than as a campaign setting. But given that the original Dragonlance modules are on DnD Classics, and given that conversion from AD&D to 5e stats is pretty straightforward (the <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/rules-references-october-2015" target="_blank">Conversion Guide</a> suggests just using the AD&D stats except with tweaks to AC, attack bonus and saves), it seems even more likely that WotC will just make modest revenues from the sale of those PDFs.Given that WotC has so much already-written material that it can sell as PDFs without having to make additional production expenditure, I think the focus is likely to be on new material (including adventures) rather than rewriting existing setting material that is already for sale.</blockquote>
