D&D 5E What's the next setting? (Did I miss something?)

[Peraion Graufalke]

Yeah, they did say during GenCon that Ravenloft is going to be both a campaign setting and a new game similar to Gamma World.

 

[bording]

Actually, the "new" campaign setting book for next year is the Neverwinter Campaign Guide. They are going back to the Realms. I guess they really wanted a tie-in to the newly announced Neverwinter computer game.

 

[Shroomy]

Yeah, I forgot about the Neverwinter book, which I doubt would exist if not for the new video game.

 

[Scribble]

In the release seminar they said Ravenloft will function as both a fully functional D&D campaign setting, and a stand alone game like Gamma World.

We're sort of getting 3 settings in 2011.

We get the Neverwinter book.
We get the Ravenloft box.
We get the Nentir Veil gazeteer along with whatever info about the world get's put into that conquest-type board game. They mentioned that it will be the first time we'll see the full "world map" that surrounds the nentir vale.

The Nentir Gazetteer is no longer in the Product Catalog although it is still on Amazon.

Having never played Neverwinter Nights, how would the setting book differ from the Forgotten Realms Guide?

I also wouldn't be surprised if WotC just simply scrapped their "one setting a year" plan. I would imagine that they could safely sell two a year and make just as much money on each, especially considering the lack of glut in the OGLless 4E landscape.

That worked well for TSR. I wonder what happened to them.

Two new settings a year is pushing it. What I think needs to go is the (apparently abandoned) insistence on not revisiting settings.

I think it would work if twice a year we got a new book for either a new setting, or an existing one.

Four with Gama World (I plan on using it for my D&D campaign).

Your right, its not. But at Gencon it was included in 1st quarter releases.

Two??? Maybe two new ones, plus supporting 4 or 5 more...with monthly releases...otherwise, its just weaksauce.
