[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8048378, member: 6802378"] Today WotC's strategy isn't about to sell new products but the copilation or updated of the best-sellers from the past, something like the remastered version of that old movie or videogame. Now it doesn't want to sell a lot of crunch for players, but to increanse the number of players/buyers. The future plans about the fluff/lore/background aren't only for the TTRPG sourcebooks, but other type of projects as videogames. And today you don't have to spend a lot of money to get lore if you can read freely lots of fandom wikis of no-RPG IPs. FR is now the superstar, the apple of my eye, the blue-eyed boy. Eberron has got many possibilities because it's the openest option to can add new things. And the return of old lines has got its own risks, with possible controversies about "this is a jumping shark" or "this is not my Star Wars". It's harder to explain how new "crunch", for example PC races and classes to be added to the old lines. WotC doesn't want to sell more books but more digital titles, and then the old titles in DM Guild is enough, no worry about to hire staff or deadline problems. Those buyers want the lore/background and this doesn't need a true update. My suggestion is to allow others to publish about the other settings, and maybe to suggest the idea of parallalel worlds are possible in D&D. I have insisted a lot of the idea of a new transitional setting based in the concepts of time spheres and chronomancers from 2nd Ed. My theory is someday we will see modules based in Ravenloft and Dragonlance, even this with a trailer with CGI animation like the ones for Magic: the Gathering. WotC can publish modules set in Dark Suns without worry about if the Pentad Prism is canon or not. And I am afair some lines only will come back after to publish the videogame a producing a teleserie for some streaming service. Greyhawk is practically a sacred relic.
