WotC is putting out two more classic settings next year, that has been confirmed. They don't care what percentage of gamers care about official settings, they care about which of those official settings are the most popular. WotC has been following those survey results to a "T" thus far with Ravenloft and Eberron being two of the top tier settings from it. Dark Sun and Planescape are the last two settings in that same popularity tier. Seems pretty clear to me those would be our next two classic settings.Slavery or other such "problematic elements" already exist in numerous D&D 5e books published by WotC (slavery is prevalent in Out of the Abyss for example). There is literally nothing new or worse in Dark Sun that prevents it's publication. If anything, the ecological threats of defiling and the sorcerer-kings in Dark Sun would make it more attractive in our current day and age (i.e. climate change). The only thing that needs more fleshing out for Dark Sun would be more psionics options, but I would expect that to be included in the DS setting book as well.Dragonlance is a long shot. It has a lot of tropes that make it very similar to the Forgotten Realms, not to mention it fell into the second tier of popularity according to the survey. I foresee some Dragonlance elements popping up in various books (like this dragon one), kind of like what they've been doing with the Greyhawk material, but that's about it.Spelljammer would likely be wrapped into a a Planescape setting book, on that we agree.</blockquote>
