WotC WotC reported 50% growth over 2020!

If I remember correctly, MtG is already part of the D&D multiverse (Ravnica, Theros, etc.), but D&D is not part of the MtG multiverse. The had a statement that despite the set, the Forgotten Realms is not a part of the MtG multiverse - yet.

Yeah someone pulled up a quote last time this was discussed.

It's not yet an issue (to me) but I'm sure we will get there.

I mean, good for them, profit drives the bus.

But I hope they dont misinterpret that data and think they need to unite the settings...that will be the last straw for me honestly.

Same. Modern D&D is already way too much of a superhero fantasy game. I know it won't happen, but I really want them to pull back on that hard. Slow natural healing, gritty realism, etc as the default. Leave the superhero healing for the optional rules.

I've had that thought in the back of my head since I first heard that the MtG company bought TSR. They're making D&D books for MtG stuff. Dropping info about MtG settings in other D&D books. Making MtG sets using D&D lore. It's inevitable that they'll merge. Unfortunately.

How connected is too connected?

Like if they decided D&D multiverse Theros, Arcavios, and Ravnica were seperate from MtG multiverse, and the D&D versions of those settings were canon in the D&D Multiverse, but not the MtG multiverse and the MtG version was canon in the Blind eterenities but not in the Great Wheel, would you be okay with that?

Or what if each was it's own seperate multiverse, but they were connected by a broader omniverse, like you could go from the Great Wheel to the Blind Eternities via the Far Realms?

Any connection at all is too much.

I never want to see Eldrazi in a core Monster Manual. I never want the Blind Eternities referenced in an FR book. I never want Elminster shaking hands with Jace.

The MTG settings are already ignored.

Here is Christopher’s article. Looks like there will be another D&D set, I might be right! But also wh40k and lord of the rings and others.

Magic: The Gathering's Dungeons & Dragons Set Was Game's Best-Selling Summer Release of All Time

The Dungeons & Dragons-themed Magic: The Gathering set was one of the top-selling Magic: The Gathering card sets of all time. Earlier today, Hasbro held its quarterly earnings report, with the company reporting strong net revenue growth. Much of that was due to the strong performance of its [...]

They've already conffirmed A Baldur's Gate Commander Legends set. It's not going to be standard legal though.

About the IP's crossing over and beccoming one... I'll worry about it when and if it comes to that. No point in worrying about something that has not happened yet.

This will probably be a setting we see soon. I expect Greyhawk to explore those variant rules heavily.

It is not only a possible D&D+M:tG merger but also with the rest of Hasbro's licences, and the future potential influence of the action-live productions for cinemas and streaming services. And even if Hasbro doesn't imply with a new acquisition or merger with other company. (They tried with Mattel, but this said they don't offer enough, or something like this).

I don't reject the idea of crossovers, but they should avoid the abuse or saturation, because the surprise effect would be lost.

A Ravenloft+Innistrad crossover is possible, or an intercompany crossover with Ravenloft and other characters from terror sagas.

My friend, if I don't worry about it, how will Wizards know I hate the idea of it?

If we wait till its done, it's too late.

Yeah, because wizard's track record of not doing things you hate is going strong right now...
