[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8272832, member: 59082"] I think (or at least hope) this is way overstated. Sure, some people will find elements of older settings "problematic," but some people will find almost anything problematic and WotC has to draw the line somewhere. I'd say it is somewhere between "drow have black skin because they were cursed" and "there are slaves in this world." As the classic meme goes, why can't we do both? It seems clear that WotC agrees. Five settings over the last four years, including two classics, two Magic, and one new. I'm guessing they'll continue with a similar ratio going forward, although with two per year. So we might see something like: 2021: Ravenloft, Dragonlance 2022: Planescape, Magic 2023: Dark Sun, Exandria 2 (or new setting) 2024: Greyhawk, Magic 2025: Forgotten Realms, Magic Etc. Or something like that. That's actually heavily weighted towards classic, but unless they up the Magic settings to one a year and/or don't publish two settings, it kind of makes sense. Also, my hope is that they sprinkle in a surprise or two. [/QUOTE]
