Characters enter a world that is completely different from their own, and operates on it's own rules...Madness permeates everywhere, and to return home they'll have to engage in several bizarre activities and meet several very strange characters..

I dunno what else you want from an Alice in Wonderland theme man.

Edit: I mean this isn't Zak's "A red and pleasant land" which is Alice in Wonderland through the twisted lens of LTOFP..

It's still Dungeons and Dragons Faerun in the Underdark, but the Wonderland theme is very strong.

Wait what?  Since when are references not part of a theme?

Man, what are you looking for???

Quote from: ostap bender;858456yes. it will probably be macbeth/against the giants mash-up. i would love to know who will be tapped to do that one. we had kobolds, sasquatch and ronins. who's left of wizards ex-stuff? monte? i hope not.

Good guesses as to the theme and I also hope it isn't Monte. More likely, they'll cycle back to Kobolds.

When's D&D in space.

Use spells to create spaceships.

well, there are other 3pp out there. maybe goodman (they have a pretty strong 5e line).

although i think that insider knowledge of the wotc working is almost a must for handling d&d brand property out of the house. so you might be right.

Not to be flippant (and really I'm not) but if you have access to the Spelljammer stuff, I don't think it would be too hard to do that at your home games...  5e is pretty backwards compatible friendly, I've seen.

I'm not really familiar with any of the old settings since I started with 5E. So pointing it out was good.

Glad I could help.  

On topic:  The MacBeth/Against The Giants idea sounds awesome.  Who do we talk to pitch that?

I am hoping for a Castle Ravenloft remake myself.

Does WoTC have the rights to it back?  I don't recall if they got the license back or not.  I like to think I've heard 'yes', but given how my memory doesn't work...

Yeah, they do. At the tail end of 3.5 they even released an updated version of it.

Personally, Ravenloft is my favorite D&D setting, but it's badly in need of a hard reboot. There's some really great ideas in there, and then some that have been added over time that just don't work, or made things confusing here and there.

I would love to see the Domains of Dread given a new life, without the whole "Grand Conjunction" and what ever the other earth shattering mega event was.

Whitewolf's take on Ravenloft was interesting....but since it was separated from the rest of D&D canon it really lost something. Part of Ravenloft's charm was seeing Dungeons and Dragons villains from other settings within it... Whitewolf couldn't use those, so many of the distinctive domains lost there flavor.

I expect another try at Gamma World at some point. Probably as much failures at being GW as the last two.

Spelljammer would be nice. But seems like its been forgotten for now. Who knows though. Maybe a Unearthed Arcanna article.

As was noted above though. Adapting Spelljammer to 5e would not be all that hard.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;858348Whatever it is, I'm hoping that GR gets to write it again, this one is probably the most solid adventure I've seen so far for 5e.

Although, I wouldn't be averse to a Keep on The Borderlands ripoff or an Against The Giants retread...

Quote from: The Butcher;858371If I was a betting man? This.

I don't want be all Negative Natty, but the only thing worse than a retread, for me, would be a retread with the new "organization."  Let's move forward on both fronts.

I wish, but I suspect the leading brand of the hobby, like most of Hollywood, is under relatively risk-averse management. It woukd be terrific to see the, recruiting OSR talent and putting out oddball stuff, but apparently remaking old Greyhawk modules as new Forgotten Realms adventure paths pays the bills.

The way I see it, they gave us 5e and I'm glad to be back in the WotC fold. But like the saintly days of yore (1990s for me), I ain't buying their modules.

They're risk averse because the evidence has proven that people DO NOT WANT ANYTHING NEW.  And will violently resist it, to the point of boycotts, or worse, just not even bothering to spend their money on it.

So personally, I've given up expecting anything new from anything, because no one really wants that.  No matter what they may say.
