It's kind of odd to me because many of the core D&D settings seem based around middle earth, like Dragonlance and FR's Faerun. As for magic, I thought it was centered around high magic and not S&S-style magic. I'm fairly new to the "Vancian" term.

I'm sure that there are some of you that know of the Terrinoth franchise by Fantasy Flight Games. It is board game franchise, just like how D&D's an RPG, how MTG's a CCG, how Warhammer is a miniature wargame, and how Mage Knight is a CMG. The games included are Runebound (which is an adventure...

Well obviously Tolkien was D&D's biggest influence, I give you that, but it's D&D that popularized all those tropes in all those games.

Good point, I'm sure Chainmail had a big impact on alot of fans of fantasy and miniature wargaming. Also, there are other kinds of interesting videos that have the D&D type of setting, like Kingdom Under Fire and Defense of the Ancients, the latter being a Warcraft III mod that inspired League...

It's amazing what influence D&D has made made for gaming in the fantasy genre, just like what Street Fighter II did for fighting games and what Wolfenstein 3d did for FPS games. If it wasn't for D&D, we wouldn't have had other tabletop games like Warhammer, Magic: The Gathering, Mage Knight...

I've heard of it, it's a pretty interesting game. We should have more collectible dice games around here. EDIT: It would also be nice to see more collectible dice games with a certain theme.

I think it's about time that Bioware made another game on Forgotten Realms, since they previously made the Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights. However, it would probably have to use 4e rules, but you could use more ways you create and customize your characters. I'd also like it to have...

I don't like Lankhmar being a D&D setting because it's just a licensed setting.

Basically, I could care less magic you can use in them, I'd just like to see more settings based off of the works of Howard, Moorcock, and Leiber. Are there any settings that are inspired by Solomon Kane?

I basically mean the former. It's always a breath of fresh air to see something different from settings like FR, and have more gritty kinds of settings. As for what Dandu said, I'd say Greyhawk would count too, cause it seems to have a different feel from Realms.

That's true, but it would just feel more comfortable to me if that was official. As for races, while the Eladrin would remain as the super powerful race like in 3.5 and not sun/moon elves with a different name, the Dragonborns would be a major race like in 4e, but would be distinct from...

Well I know you can make anything happen in RPGs, but I'm just stating it from a general point of view. If I could make my own version of D&D, it would combine elements from OD&D ver. 5, AD&D 2nd, 3.5, and 4e, making it like how the D&D universe is meant to be. With that, you wouldn't have to go...

I'm curious if D&D has any other kinds of low fantasy settings, other than Dark Sun, Ravenloft, and Birthright, cause I'm sure there are a few others.

Wow, no wonder so many people hate 4e.

Well, I'm sure that all the 2e settings are still canon to the current D&D universe, right? There may be a chance we'll see some of them again, I dunno. The D&D universe is certainly massive and is full of detail, I'm just hoping that certain things aren't out of existence.

Sounds interesting to me. However, there could also be a book that has more rules on spelljamming, with stuff on the Crystal Spheres and solar systems like Realmspace, the return of Greyspace and Krynnspace, and new ones like Eberronspace (Eberron) and Mystaraspace (Mystara). There could also be...

Does it also cover the cosmologies of Forgotten Realms and Eberron?

I know, I mean how can they fit in with 4e rules. Does it also cover the Domains of Dread?

How do you think they can work in 4e?

Let's say you own a gaming company like TSR/WoTC, Games Workshop, FASA/Catalyst Game Labs, Wizkids, Steve Jackson Games, and Fantasy Flight Games, what would yours be like? You could make all kinds of RPGs, CCGs, CMGs, wargames, board games, and more. For RPGs, the genres I would cover are...
