D&D 5E What of the already done settings do you think WotC is revisiting for a Setting Book?

LOL. Wow. I have a collection of classical music, that includes Mozart, that I use for games. I listen to the stuff about once a week.

"No one listens to Mozart," says the 20-something. Give it time. The lure of Lady Gaga, K-Pop, and Justin Bieber will fade, in time. Your tastes will mature, if you're lucky.

An article just came out on D&D Beyond about Menzoberranzan.

Yeah, that was very weird.

It's a both/and situation , really.

And now it has Exandria to compete with for "generic fantasy setting". The "kids today" are much more likely to pursue Exandria fan material than FR fan material (i.e. books, shows, etc.), like drastically so.

I wouldn't exactly call Exandria generic fantasy. Wildemount definitely not, Tal'dorei? Sure yeah it's right on that cusp of generic but they offer things that FR and Greyhawk do not. Tal'dorei is very much D&D, it's got all the classic tropes but lifts up out of that generic sandtrap with the organizations, how it implements those classic tropes and the depth Mercer and co. provided. Wildemount is almost the opposite of the D&D trope. It embraces dark fantasy and wears it like a glove while also violating the classic tropes in how it approaches races, monsters and the lore of the 4e gods and other expectations and very much has a vibe all its own. It's one flaw is not developing dunamancy enough. We really DO need more materials for it, its a setting screaming for development like we used to get in 3.x era.

(Also, no one listens to Mozart anymore. Play his music? Sure. But "recreationally listen to Mozart"? No. That's just not a thing anymore, and will continue to be less and less of a thing in the future.)

I listen to Mozart all the time; had the string quartets on yesterday, in fact, and I was listening to Mozart's Requiem while doing some writing for the final battle of my campaign.

According WotC the Forgotten Realms is still the most popular setting, not CR.

According to WotC homebrew is the most popular setting, not FR.

Homebrew is not a setting, it’s a million settings.

You don't count none official settings.

Homebrew is not a setting, it’s a million settings.

Exactly.
