[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4822694, member: 2067"] Well, for point #1, obviously they wouldn't care very much. I mean, they tromped all over the Realms much to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from truefans, why would DL be any different? These are brands with a built-in fan base who would buy the books even if they hated them. ;) And after the "resurrection" of the setting during 3.5, why wouldn't WotC want to bring those players into 4e? For point #2, they would probably involve those two in the creation of the 4e setting, much like they involved Greenwood in 4e FR, and are involving Baker in Eberron. It might not be DL, but I'd say DL has the strongest case so far for it. Anything else would be kind of out of left field right now. Which, again, they might be going for. Dark Sun raises more issues than it solves. Everyone wants it, but 4e isn't very sensitive to the "restrictions" nature that makes it a rewarding setting. It's probably in the que, but they're going to spend more time on it than they would on something like FR, DL, or Eberron (or even Greyhawk) where a lot of the work is already done for them by a broad, vocal fanbase, and where the worlds hew a lot closer to what 4e expects out of your game. DS is more obscure than all of those. It might get published, but I'd guess that they'd go with the tried-and-true settings before mucking about with bugs and defilers and sorcerer-kings. [/QUOTE]
