I'm more than a bit surprised (but pleased) by how popular Planescape seems to be in this poll. I have to wonder that if WotC did use it, whether they'd try to fit into whatever the core cosmology of 5e (if anything) ends up being or whether it would have its own unique cosmology based on the 2e form of the Great Wheel
As for my choices, I voted for the following:
As for my choices, I voted for the following:
- Forgotten Realms. I'm a big fan of the setting and don't see that changing anytime soon. Of course, that's slightly cheating since we already know it's supported.
- Greyhawk. There's some overlap with FR here but given 5e's approach of appealing to old-school fans I think it's an important inclusion. Plus, I think there are significant enough differences between Greyhawk and FR to make it worthwhile.
- Planescape. My favorite of the "weird" settings, though I never actually played it since I first started playing about a decade ago. But I've read a lot about the setting and think it's a shame it was dropped after just one edition of support.
- Eberron. This was very popular in 3e and was pretty well-supported for 4e. If WotC feels up to supporting more than three settings, this seems like a given to me.
- Dark Sun. Never played it and don't know much about it, but it has a lot of fans and seems unique enough to warrant a place as one of the "weird" settings. Plus, it's apparently great for psionics-heavy campaigns, which none of the other settings really are.
