I wonder then if this was a group project? Is it a D&D adventure/setting based on the cards, or was the story/cards/book all worked on together?Story came out in February, set in April.

Parmandur means that it's the first Magic Setting adapted from D&D that did not have an established History. Strixhaven is brand new to this year, while Ravnica and Theros had multiple sets in the past.How could any magic setting be an established fan favourite the first time it appears? They where all new the first time around.
Exactly, that's my point: this is the first Magic hardcover for D&D that isn't a returning fan favorite, but the latest Msgic hotness.How could any magic setting be an established fan favourite the first time it appears? They where all new the first time around.
Yeah, as we know that D&D books have a 12-13 month timeline from start to finish, this book would have been started as the Magic Set was basically going to the printers after a couple years of work.My guess is that it's a D&D setting based on what the MtG folks did (like Theros and Ravnica were) and that this time the D&D folks got to see the card stuff in advance to get work done on it this quickly. I would be kind of surprised if the D&D folks had any input into the cards, or if the D&D folks felt bound by everything that was done with the cards. (The class names on the cards, for example, won't match the D&D classes).
Heh, I'm the other way. I'm too old for "I'm an adult now" to have sway, and the idea of doing college-age hi-jinx is a fun romp.yeah... I'm old. Too old for that BS... but again, I can imagine having more adult players interact as teachers, alumni and advisors
I can see a lot of utility presenting settings as adventures.What I actually want to see is a table of contents. I was actually quite keen on seeing a wizard school setting like Strixhaven was originally touted as - it seemed like an interesting diversion from the standard and a way of expanding d&d in a new direction. But now they’re talking as if it’s a level 1-10 adventure book? As a player rather than a dm, a book which is mostly adventure rather than setting is of little use to me. I skipped Witchlight for the same reason, though Witchlight was of course always upfront about being an adventure book. I’m hoping I’m reading too much into this and that the book is still primarily a campaign setting.
Oh, I get that. But as a player for a DM who mostly runs published modules, I don’t want to read an adventure that I might end up playing.I can see a lot of utility presenting settings as adventures.
I mean, describing stuff is one thing, but describing stuff and what you could do interacting with it gives the description more of a point.
