AFAIK, in the run-up to 5E, WotC cancelled all such licenses, and, unlike the 3E era, doesn't license out its settings. Similarly, Bruce Heard tried to purchase a license to do Mystara 5E, but WotC wouldn't do it - even though Bruce was the main designer for TSR's Mystara line back in the day.I looked in one of the <a href="http://watermark.drivethrustuff.com/pdf_previews/51494-sample.pdf" target="_blank">Zeitgeist PDFs</a> and it says:"Based on the original Blackmoor setting, associated character and places owned by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. Used with permission, all rights reserved ©1975 Wizards."Yeah, Zeitgeist was working on another book (Age of the Wolf) for the Blackmoor line, but it wasn't ready by the time the license expired. So that book is not coming out. That's all.That doesn't mean that Blackmoor is tangled in some complex legal limbo. It just means that WotC's policy is to not license out any settings whatsoever. (Except through DM's Guild.)</blockquote>
