What do you want the next "genre setting" to be?

[Shemeska]

They should try something new, or if they do something with a classic setting, they need to actually give it the attention and depth it deserves in print, something they haven't so far managed to do yet IMO with the 4e model for settings.

Boot Hill.

Then I could mush 4E, Gamma World, and Boot Hill into something like Stephen King's Dark Tower. Wahoo.

I've used Deadlands for that

Not another fantasy setting. Something original, like d&d in today's world, or perhaps a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. With the growing popularity of modern fantasy in novels and other media, WOTC should look to that for inspiration. The Dresden Files, Hellboy, Constantine, Genesis of Shanara series, The Supernatural tv series, the various vampire series that are currently popular, Anita Blake novels, the Nightside novels, these are just a few examples the come to mind.

A superhero game would also be good, but I don't know that WotC could compete against Mutants & Masterminds. Nor am I sure I want them to.

I've heard a few rumors that someone @ WotC has used 4e to run a Marvel game ...

Birthright. Have it have rules on building your own personal empire.

Oriental Adventures and Urban Arcana would be two of my biggest choices. Perhaps they could also do something with Planescape. They could also do a Bronze Age/Mythological setting and a Renaissance setting. Superheroes would definitely be cool as well, if they did it right.

Oriental Adventures: Kara-Tur-less, (though that region could be briefly mentioned in like a chapter for an overview of it or something) with it's own unique setting - a less internally complicated Rokugan-like setting.

Urban Arcana: I'd be totally into that as a real fleshed out setting, epseicially if it uses (for the most part) straight D&D mechanics for monsters etc.

A Western or Space Opera setting of some sort would be really cool, but who knows if they want to get so far away from the primary core of rules that would be required to do this - since basically no class from D&D would be useful for these.

I've been thinking alot lately of wanting to see Greyhawk 2000 revived.

Wha' dis?

I have visions of the US Vth Corp elements driving on Warsaw disappearing into a portal and ending up in Oerth.

On the other hand imagine having to run D&D with Twilight 2000 rules
