Shiny Happy Goblins? that could mean many things please expand.

I imagine the goblyns from Ravenloft (why not other name?) as a mixture of living constructs and faes, and when they die collapse or desintegrate as a sand castle in the beach, or vampires being killed by Blade in the movies. Why? To can be used as monsters in a no-mature videogame, something like the husks from Fortnite: Save the World or Chinese videogames where enemies are like alien animated statues, or the giddy goons, the minions from the old 80's Dragon's Lair. Do you know David Cronenberg's "the Brood" or 1987 Carpenter's "The Children"?

Some day Birthright will come back, because it is the perfect setting for a future strategy videogame or wargame of mass battles. But not in this phase yet. Neither Savage Coast/Red Steel, but this has got possibilities, with pirates, mutants and maybe also superpowers.

I can't guess what to do with Mystara, but Hasbro could agree a lincenced adaptation with some videogame studio, for example Capcom, the creators of the D&D arcade.

If Hasbro's franchises being adapted by Renegade Studios have got a good sales level I guess the option of a Gamma World new edition would be possible.

* RL monsters? I guess it means monsters based in literature, mythology and folklore from Real-Life, but these are public domain Shouldn't these to be in the SRD with the other creatures from the monster manual?

aside from the basic setting function birthright has little to really make it work, multi-game type function is the real way to build a setting.

The Hollow World had some interesting things, with dinos to Conan-style barbarians to (bio?)tech elves. And Mystara also had the Red Steel part, for all of your mutant swashbuckling needs.

Sadly, in this case, RL can mean either Real Life or Ravenloft.
 

I had forgotten the Hollow World, a potentially intersting mixture of Dino Riders and Conan the Barbarian, but not Red Steel as a part within Mystara.

Ravenloft may need ideas about possible future spin-off, something Hasbro's equivalent to the teleserie "Lovecraft Country".

Kara-Tur will arrive after some new setting of Magic: the Gathering based in Asian cultures.

Al-Qadim as setting will be after a generic sourcebook with the (I guess enough politically correct) title "1001 nights", not only for al-Qadim but also for other campaigns as Kaladesh.

I have just remembered the "Great Game of Dragons" or Xorvintaal.


The simple description would be.... dragons using humanoids and other monsters for a pokemon championship. I guess it the perfect excuse to create a videogame of collectable monster pets arena.

Postdata: I have just read Nexon, a Sourth-Korea videogame company have invested into others, also in Hasbro. This could mean in a future some Nexon's IP being adapted into D&D. I hope this may be a good sign for a future "Oriental Adventures" Xuanhuan sourcebook enough politically correct for the different Asian markets.
