[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5816311, member: 5100"] I'd like to say "Greyhawk", but I've come to the conclusion that only Gygax could do the setting integration justice. I would [u]love[/u] to see the Forgotten Realms exiled even more remotely than Oerth, though. Integration with the Realms would be more likely to turn me off than anything they could do, mechanically. I think I also prefer the 4e planar landscape more than earlier editions. I'd say cosmology, but I really hated the 4e angels and some similar elements. The Feywild rocks. Ageless elves. I really liked the 1500 year age span for 1e high elves. Keep the resistance to mind control, too. Most of the 1e racial fluff (for all races) was awesome. This is one area the game has really degraded. Non-humans should be different from humans. I actually grew to like the dragonborn. Keep them. Tieflings need to go back to their earlier appearance (origin optional), but I'd be okay keeping them as a core race. I'm also okay with the elf/eladrin split -- I always pictured high elves as eladrin, but there are enough people who disagree, it'd be best to keep both. Limited edition, named demons and devils, as per 1st edition (Marilith and Balor are individual names, not types). Asmodeus is not a god. Demogorgon is the prince of demons. [/QUOTE]
