I knew nothing of Ravnica or Theros before those settings were released, and they filled a great and fun niche for me ever since. Zendikar is the one I knew about ahead of time, yes (I also knew about Dominaria and Kamigawa from years ago when I played occasionally with a friend who was a big player), but looking through the settings, these 4 settings I mentioned would bring something completely different to the game and could potentially be blockbuster sales.We do not need massive name-recognition crossovers. The MtG D&D books are just as important to pull D&D players to MtG as they are to pull MtG to D&D. We DO need settings that would capture the imagination of new players who had never heard of the settings before. What was Eberron before it was released? A set of genre tropes in Keith Baker's mind, to be sharpened by working with WotC dev teams. We don't know what we want until we get it. But having settings that open up new worlds of play and genre can be very profound. WotC of course should lean on settings they already have established lore and fandoms for when choosing genres to release campaign settings, but new settings need hooks too, and D&D desperately wants more books like VRGtR to explore genre tropes and teach how to make a game in that genre. I don't think 5e will feel ancient in 2029. I think it'll feel fresh still because they're slowly tinkering with it each year, in the same way Pathfinder slowly drifted from 3.5e without a hard break.</blockquote>
