[QUOTE="humble minion, post: 8469913, member: 5948"] I'm not so sure. It looks a lot to me like this is WotCs preferred model for perhaps more experiemental settings. It's not like there's a lack of precedent either - remember Ravenloft was brought into 5e as an adventure module and the setting book only came much later once the module had proven successful (and imho this was one of the reasons Van Richten's was such a big miss for me - WotC tried to stuff all of Ravenloft into a single domain in CoS, and then go back and expand it into a setting in VRGtR while keeping all the dodgy shortcuts and handwaves and setting design laziness from CoS) It looks a lot to me like Witchlight functionally is the 5e Feywild sourcebook, for instance. It looks a lot to me like WotC are going to dribble out FR setting material in dribs and drabs in their big adventure books too, rather than ever replace the deeply inadequate SCAG. And remember that WotC has also said that one of the upcoming legacy settings will be in a 'new and never before seen format' or something along those lines. Wouldn't at all surprise me to see that book being (for instance) a Spelljammer hardback adventure with 20 pages of token setting material up the front, or similar for Dark Sun. [/QUOTE]
