[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 6403060, member: 40166"] I think the first campaign setting that 5E should have should be a generic one. Eberron is just a little odd for the initial D&D setting. (My response has always been a little flat--and it didn't help that the maps weren't shaped right*.) Dragonlance has a lot of metaplot and the setting was tied too tight to the metaplot to be generic. The rest aren't even close to generic. So that leaves Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms, and even though I don't know a whole lot about Greyhawk--it seems to lack a great unifying volume, at least one that I've got my hands on, whereas Forgotten Realms Adventures (2E) and Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (3E) were pretty good--it just seems less overwhelmed by huge powers and more open to low-level adventures out to adventure then FR. Scarred Lands, as per [MENTION=55178]Nytmare[/MENTION], is an interesting choice. It's owned by the people who bought White Wolf, and people at Oynx Path (licensor of all the White Wolf goodness, since those who bought it didn't care about the RPGs) have vaguely voiced bringing it back. I doubt WotC would license it, but it too would make an interesting choice, darker and grittier and yet more mythic then FR. * The coastline had a higher Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension then real terrain. I know I'm failing to communicate here, but it was wrong, in a way that got under my skin and I can't explain in clear English. [/QUOTE]
