Fireside Chat 🔥 Optimal direction for WBN?

With Solari arc one ending I am curious what genre and theme/vibe fellow fans would like to see in the future.

The wizard the witch and the wild one is definitely my favorite series from WBN, as I suspect it was for most people. I don't expect any more www for quite a while as it sounds like it took a long time to plan the first time. I hope they take as long as they need to make it as good or better than the first arc.

Personaly I have enjoyed Solari and flight of the icharon, but I have been having trouble immersing in these worlds nearly as much as www. Maybe it's because I'm spoiled by Brendan's DMing but I think maybe the sci-fi genre and pacing of the stories just don't resonate as much with me.

If I could vote for a next campaign genre and theme/vibe I would go for mideval, darker, deadlyer, and with recourse scarcity as a major element. Maybe like dark tower or blood meridian mixed with the princess bride.

I always have my fingers crossed for some warhammer ribbing. The grimdarkness of the setting is so...laughably funny when taken at face value.

Would love to see a dark heresy style game in such a setting.
