D&D 5E Which three classic settings do you think WotC will publish in 2022-23? (Fixed)

[Urriak Uruk]

Winninger has clarified on Twitter that the revisit is a 2024 product, separate from the 2 new classic Ssttings in 2022 and 1 in 2023. The timing of 2024 suggests to me that the revisit may be Greyhawk, revisiting after Ghosts of Saltmarsh.

Can I see the tweet? I didn't know it was 2024, if it is that far out I indeed could see it as either FR or Greyhawk. I too may lean on it being Greyhawk, as that is the 50th Anniversary, and Greyhawk is D&D's first setting.

Sigil didn't show up in that Adventure.

Planescape isn't just Sigil, it's also the entirety of the Outer Planes, Outlands, etc. But I agree, I don't think they meant Avernus for revisiting.

In terms of what a Setting would cover, Sigil would be the focus. The Planes are part of all Settigns, though Sigil interacts with them more directly.

Alot of AFR's art is none regional at all, hence why it's being used in MP: MotM. Obviously so new art will need to be done for a new setting book, although given the new Intel, we are looking at a 2024 date, likely to tie into 5.5e (FR always gets a new setting book with a new edition), so they have plenty of time for new art or even more MtG sets.

My point is exactly that; AFR's art isn't regional at all, so using it as indicating a setting is more likely doesn't make sense.

Now that it has been clarified the revisit setting is in 2024 (not one of the 3 classic settings), I agree that makes a lot of sense for FR. Although Greyhawk could be a spoiler candidate, as it is the 50th Anniversary, and Greyhawk is D&D's first setting.

Sigil didn't show up in that Adventure.

Neither did the City of Greyhawk in Saltmarsh.

Granted, we're all basically moving around 10 pieces in a 1000 piece puzzle without the picture, so going by the drips of info we have were just amusing ourselves with the guessing games at this point...

(And I've always leaned a bit towards "revisiting" meaning going back to a setting with an actual setting book and not just a setting in books that are mainly adventures. That would solely be SCAG at this point. But the wording is frustratingly vague, presumably on purpose)...

In terms of what a Setting would cover, Sigil would be the focus. The Planes are part of all Settigns, though Sigil interacts with them more directly.

Agreed that Sigil would be a focus, much like how Sharn is a big section of the Eberron book. But a Planescape book should also cover a lot of material/planes beyond that singular city.

I just wouldn't consider Avernus a "Planescape" related book just because it takes place in an Outer Plane. Greyhawk got a mini-setting deep dive in Saltmarsh, however.

Like I said it could be both, 2022 is getting 2 classic settings after all. Or Greyhawk could be the 2022 classic setting.

It's the revisit, Greyhawk never got a 5e campaign setting, but that doesn't mean 2024 won't have another none FR setting as well, although I predict given the Nostalgia kick, no new or MtG settings for 2024, only FR and maybe Greyhawk, aka old school settings updated for 5.5e.

Here's my predictions;

2022:

• Classic Setting: Planescape (near-certainty)
• Classic Setting: Dark Sun or Dragonlance (don't know which one)
• Cameo Setting: Spelljammer (this is the Boo adventure, likely starts in FR and explores RealmSpace)

2023:
- Classic Setting: Dark Sun or Dragonlance (whatever wasn't in 2022, is this one)

2024:
- Revisited Setting: FR or Greyhawk

I know you're very confident that the 2024 book is FR, but I've seen folks become very confident before... I remember some folks here saying that one product as 100% going to be a FR Campaign Setting, and then it turned out to just be Laeral Silverhand's Dice Set. So I would temper expectations a little bit, although I think the revisited setting is probably FR. But it might not be.
