They should never have done a 1 set setting that doesn't actually explore much beyond a single university. I loved the Strixhaven setting, but it just wasn't ready.  Of course now that MtG's setting are ruined and I will never trust their world building team again, it never will be ready.  Theros had 4 sets and plane guides that actually explored the plane as a whole and a proper novel, Ravnica had nine sets, and 9 novels. Strixhaven had 1 set, never explored the broader setting to create a context for the university, and got 5 chapters of Internet fiction that was okay at best and 5 internet short stories, most of which were really good. Not enough when the D&D team can't colour too far out of the lines set by the MtG team. Even Radiant Citadel had more broad setting meat, even if it needed more, it should have been 2 full sized books, one setting book and adventure anthology.  And they shouldn't have crammed an big adventure into what was supposed to a setting book, it's a huge pet peeve of mine that they keep doing to Setting Books, and it just hogs page counts, reducing the quality of the rest of the product. Adventures should be sold seperately.</blockquote>
