As can be seen from the recent threads speculating about the release of Dark Sun or Mystara for 5e, people really, really want WoTC to finally publish an official setting type book for something that isn't the Forgotten Realms. But... one of the big reasons why people want setting books, despite WoTC's official stance that you can back-mine the older books on DM's Guild for fluff, is because they would provide official mechanics for various things unique to that setting, such as psionics rules and thri-kreen PC stats for a Dark Sun 5e sourcebook.
I want to ask folks exactly what settings they want to see 5e revive, and what mechanical additions to 5e's library those settings would bring with them. Races, subclasses, new subsystems, iconic spells or magic items, just anything you really want to see 5e bring back so you no longer have to deal with DMs going "no homebrew allowed".
By example, I really want the Nentir Vale Gazetteer to return (we were supposed to get a series by that title in 4e, before Mearls) as a 5e sourcebook that brings back the Nentir Vale setting. In terms of mechanics, I'd want the following to be in it:
PC stats for: Gnolls, Minotaurs, Shardminds, Wilden, Vryloka, Deva
The return of the Avenger class in some fashion.
The return of the Invoker class.
And that's just what immediately jumps out as being both unique to the Nentir Vale and actually likely to get an update.
So, what settings do you want to see come back, and what do you want those settings to bring with them?
