I'd have preferred a Realmspace booster, personally.

Yes. A MtG-plane-as-multiversal-Feywild-realm feels tacked on.

That would at least be set in the Forgotten Realms.

I picked the 3rd option as I'm trying to be open minded at least until I read how they intergrate it with the Forgotten Realms, if it feels too forced or under cooked I will change my answer to yes as well. I really would have preferred something on Faerun or one of the other Continents of Toril or Abier.

I wish the D&D team would speak up about this and explain why they made Lorwyn the third DLC expansion of the Forgotten Realms.

I wouldn't hold my breath, but itncould be part of a setup for another D&D card set.

Any chance of an explanation here? I have no idea what this refers to but I'd like to know

The two upcoming FR books can be bought in a bundle along with three 'DLCs', one of those is about Lorwyn

• Astarion’s Book of Hungers: a digital expansion with new vampire-themed player options, monsters, and adventure content – shared by Astarion himself! ($14.99) | Release Date: November 11, 2025
• Netheril’s Fall: a digital expansion where players can explore the lost Netherese Empire in a time traveling adventure ($14.99) | Release Date: November 11, 2025
• Lorwyn: First Light: a digital expansion that supplements your Forgotten Realms adventures with Fey-inspired character options, adventures, and monsters from a new Domain of Delight in the Feywild called Lorwyn-Shadowmoor. ($14.99) | Release Date: November 18, 2025

There are three digital-only 32 page supplements being released alongside the upcoming Forgotten Realms books (player & DM hardcovers):

- A supplement about playing Vampire characters with new Backgrounds, a Dhampir species, 16 Vampire Feats, and a tavern mini-setting in Baldur's Gate with Adventure material

- A time travel campaign guide for playing in ancient Netheril

- A thinly tied to the Moonshae Isles campaign guide for the Magic the Gathering Plane of Lorwyn, with new Fey Spckes, Backgrounds, Feats, Monsters, and a Gazateer with Adventure material

Now, Lorwyn traditionally has no toes to the Forgotten Realms, unlike the undead criminal underworld of Baldur's Gate or ancient Netheril. It is a distinct Magic the Gathering fairy setting.

So, a bit odd.
