There are plenty of different directions to take when following up the core trio of the revised Dungeons & Dragons 2024 rulebooks, but what this edition truly needs most is a wholly original setting, designed from the ground up around the new rules. D&D hasn’t seen a dedicated original setting book released since 2004, more than 20 years ago, when Eberron launched during 3.5’s era. Eberron was an ideal venue for the 3.5 system, and it was a world where every bit of the edition’s content felt perfectly at home. D&D desperately needs a world that showcases its revised rules.
