[QUOTE="DireHammer, post: 7292475, member: 6704558"] I know there's a lot of love for Al-Qadim in the WotC building, so that's always a possibility. Technically it's part of the Realms, but it's always been treated as its own animal. The 2e version is still one of the most beautiful books ever released for D&D and I wouldn't mind it terribly. My worst fear is it's more of the same. FR, GH, Ebberon, and DL are all the same. Yes, there are some differences but they're all high magic, high fantasy. Referring to GH as gritty is laughable. My first guess is it will be Dark Sun. That also wouldn't be terrible, at least it's something different. Planescape is also a possibility, and a way outside shot would be Spelljammer. I don't like either of the latter two settings, but at least they aren't just slightly tweaked sameness like all the core settings. My dream setting would be something that is actually gritty in the vein of Howard, Lieber, or even the Midnight Campaign Setting. I'd love a low magic sword and sorcery world, but I know WotC doesn't do new. They only re-hash the old. Seriously, in the nearly 20 years they've owned the D&D license have they done anything new outside of Ebberon? One thing? And Ebberon wasn't even theirs, they actually had to have a fan contest for that. It's possible I just don't remember anything but I don't recall one other new thing through three entire editions.
