I don't advice the creation of settings in alternate version of our real Earth certain tropes about other nations could cause some troubles. Other reason is some players don't feel confortable with stories where the religions from the real world don't wellcome arcane spellcasters.

What is the militant, a new class?

Let's remember the videogame BG3 is not for children, at all. I don't remember players of Hero-Quest board game with that type of controversies. D&D brand is like a cluster of different subfranchises. It is Ravenloft and Dark Sun, but also Stryxhaven and Witchlight. Now the goal isn't milking...

WotC's team is too busy working in the update of the "crunch", and players don't want to spend money for the fluff/lore/background when they can search the fandom wiki as source of inspiration. Players who wanted "crunch" sourcebooks would rather to buy retroclones.

(Metal foam). Stormhive. If an Eden was created by the deities of sentient vernims. Although civilitations of sentient arthropod (insects and arachnids) are known these are really rare, but there is a place they could call their home. Its ecosystem is really unique because instead a solar...

Ninja Turtles is a more famous brand, with several movies and TV cartoon shows. This doesn't mean D&D to be bad, but only it has not enough brand power yet. The goal of the movie was to earn more brand power. You have to sow before you reap. Hasbro is not interested only into selling more...

Spellcasting in front of a beholder with the open great eye?

This sounds or Privateer Press needs too much money desperately or secretly they have been negotiating a possible merger.

Mistmashland. A common joke told to the newcomers is "don't worry about the ghouls any more, they were eaten by the giant carnivore plants". It is now a beatiful place to be visited by tourists but but the land of the eternal mists is popular among the hunters who look for the ultimate...

Maybe after "Avengers: Endgame" the audience was too "burnt" for the epic fantasy. Other point we shouldn't foget, the "isekai" anime genre, a dangerous freenemy. This has got its own style. For example here in our Western culture we are used to the confrotation between different members of a...

I imagine Gamma World as retrofuturist, but not inspired in the 50's but in the 80's. Do you remember the Ubisoft videogame "Far Cry: Blood Dragon"? Think about it, Mad Max + Cyberpunk + transgenic/mutant antroporphic animals (perfect to sell action figures) I don't think about the return of...

Gamma World needs a lot of redesign because decades after the sci-fi gets old very poor. The current generations will miss in the old sci-fi titles technology to be real now, for example the mobiles and the 3D-printers, or new materials as the graphene. D&D is an old franchise, but relatively...

Do you remember "Hercules: the legendary journeys" played by Kevin Sorbo? But the spin-off "Xena: the warrior princess" is more popular, and it is the same universe and production team. If they knew what worked better, then they would pushing the same keys time after time. Forgoten Realms is...

I wonder if a future setting would be a demiplaned like Ravenloft, but this created by Vecna. This would be less "gothic horror" and more "grimdark", maybe post-apocalypse in certain way, something like the world of the videogame "Brutal Legend" and the animated movie "Heavy Metal 2000". And...

Now I wonder if Hasbro now has got more creative freedom for crossovers with franchises by other companies.
