I think most of us are looking at this from a player/DM perspective and not a Corporate build a brand perspective.Its going to be:Dark SunDragon Lance Some mash up of Spelljammer/PlanescapeDark Sun is always in the top for the surveys and remains the height of TSR's creative output. It was wildly different from the other settings and sets up a struggle vs evil dynamic that D&D as a brand is sorely lacking. If you were going to pitch a Forgotten Relams TV series or movie what would it be about? Dark Sun you have the Sorcerer Kings, climate change theme or rather climate ruined what can we do theme, struggle to survive the wild wastes (everyone agrees there is no real 5E exploration mechanic, I give you Dark Sun wandering) I think this is a no brainer. Dragon Lance IS EVEN MORE set for good vs evil storytelling adventures. (You actually have good here unlike Dark Sun.) Soth is basically Vader. Raistlin is every emo wizard/jedi/whatever/character ever. Weiss and Hickman are women who legit made the setting. (These things matter these days.) Players riding Dragon Mounts with possible Dragon Mount PC side characters = the 2nd D in D&D. Also brand. This is even more of a no brainer than Dark Sun from a marketing perspective. Wouldn't be surprised to see Takhisis cast in a more favorable light here either to create "depth/grittiness."Spelljammer is to wacky to be released alone. Planescape too weirdly highbrow. I think they will combine the settings somehow. Sigil as the hub. Spelljammer vessels sail out into the astral sea to wind up in other spaces. Mind Flayers everywhere.</blockquote>
