Otherwise there is no point in doing what they do.2) Right about that. But it could be argued that Mordenkainen, Elminster and Dalamar are close contender as they have been having conversations in Dragon Magazines decades ago when MTG did not even existed. The what is a planeswalker in D&D is debatable at worst. And what about the Immortals in the gold box set? They were planeswalking alright. Planeswalking has always been a part of D&D. Alternate worlds (even in the GDQ 1-4) or demi planes (WG 8, Isle of the Ape), or even in OD&D (X2 Castle Amber. Etienne would be a prime candidate for a Planeswalker as he does go to earth's France). 3) Horror was not a genre for D&D and yet... Ravenloft proved me wrong. Psionics was trash, it was not D&D and yet, Darksun proved me wrong again. Ravnica works perfectly well within the D&D rules. I have the book and I absolutely love it. But my guess is that Theros will be the one that I will have in two copies... D&D can work in any setting. Remember Buck Rogers? Sci-fi with AD&D rules...4) That is true. But setting do not have to go as fast. It will be for the DM to decide to follow or not to follow the evolution. And they do not move back to setting as fast as you are implying. I am no longer a MtG player. But they kept the same pattern over the years and I think that if they go back to Ravnica, we would have a free PDF like we had for Innistrad, Ixalan, Kadalesh and Amonketh. You are entitled to your opinion. And an opinion is personal. I know that I have mine. Would I have prefered a true Greek Setting book? Of course! But Something out of the ordinary but still close to it is also a good thing. After all, nothing prevents you from replacing Theros Mythos with Greek gods! From the looks of it, it would not even be hard. The book can give you insight on how you could do the Greek campaign you always wanted. I was a bit like you until I read Ravnica. Me and my players take what we like from the books and discard the rest.</blockquote>
