#1 Webster Apr 20, 2015 20:35:04	Just based on the title of the thread, it may be easy to guess what the suggestion is, but here's a bit of info on it. The 5e books metion all the past D&D worlds, and while one can go online to learn about Dark Sun, (for random example.) it's not quite the same thing reading about it onlne. And actual past out of print product is rather expensive. Even if one does pick up (digital or otherwise) older product, there's still a matter of sifting through alll the material, and updating the rules for 5e. The product line I suggest is simple: The First book is Characters of D&D Worlds. This book will have all the classes, races and spells that are unique to each individual previously published world. Each would fill a chapter. Dragonlance gets a chapter. Eberron gets a chapter, and so on. (And yes, SpellJammer.) Kender only show up in Dragonlance, but they don't have to be. Standard races in various worlds may also be different. A Dark Sun halfling is different than an Eberron halfling, who are also different than Mystara halflings. I can understand why WotC might not want to publish all the worlds as each segments the community. Somoene might not want Ravenloft. Back in 3e, Races of Eberron was made to look like a "core" D&D book, as people who have no interest or no imagination to import races from another game world might give it another look. This way, with all the races and classes from all the worlds located in one spot, one can pick and choose which world to use, or maybe even import other races. The second book would be Monsters of D&D Worlds. Draconians, Neogi, Living spells, and so on would populate this book. Each game world didn't have many unique monsters, but pulling them all together in one book, would work just fine.   A third book, if there's room or a need, would be Magic Of D&D Worlds. Unique magic items and/or spells would till this tome. The rest of the line would be Cyclopedia of D&D Worlds. A Forgotten Realms book, Ravenloft, Planescape, Dark Sun, Mystara, Eberron, Grayhawk all get a cylopedia style book filled with fluff. This would be the start point of new players to the world, and would have the settings updated. (A brief history of what characters would know about the world would be handy.) The book would be locations, adventure seeds, and so on. Just a grand tour of the world, and what's in it.

I'd rather have everything for a specific setting in one place, even if it requires waiting longer to get it. I'm a patient person, who prefers quality over quantity.

Races, classes and 'monsters' specific to each setting. Even setting specific equipment lists (for example, one setting might have simple firearms as standard item, an Eberron setting would have more 'magic equipment' available for purchase).   New or old, I don't really care... but I would like to see Greyhawk and DarkSun re-released with 5th in mind.

#10 SirAntoine Apr 22, 2015 0:57:04	Pretty good ideas, but I think they should first wet people's appetites for each campaign setting with a major adventure release.  They've brought FR into focus very well, and I want to see them do that with the other settings.  If I don't hear the same enthusiasm from the writers and the marketing, I will be let down.  Each setting, to me, has been like an ornament on a tree.  They are all great, and what they need is lights on them to make them shine.
