Although I thought Hollow World was an interesting concept. I think that's a large part of the problem....so many of the settings are pretty similar. Yes, hard core fans can list many differences from Krynn and Oerth and Toril....but such distinctions are minor in the grand scheme of things. I think that's why they are using FR as a catch all setting. For me, I use Oerth, Toril, Athas, Golarion, and a homebrew world, all connected by Sigil and the Planes in my campaign. So I already look at them all as being connected and kind of one setting anyway. Well CoS likely included the Realms as a starting point because some groups would be trying it after the Starter Set Phandelver adventure. And since Barovia/Ravenloft has been a demiplane for a long time now, anyway, that's probably why they went with that approach. I don't feel that any of the published adventures so far have been that strongly tied to the Realms, with the possible exception of Tyranny of Dragons. Most are generic enough to be used in any setting, really. Although some work may be required depending on exactly how the DM wants to use it and the nature of the setting to which it is being moved, so the amount of effort needed will vary. But moving any of these from Forgotten Realms to Greyhawk? I don't see the challenge at all. I am sure we'll see other settings in some capacity at some point. The form in which we see them is the question. Even FR hasn't gotten a true setting book....so I can't see them doing another one. But a planar adventure combined with a guide to Sigil? Sure, something like that as a setting book seems likely.</blockquote>
