Brilliant Idea for WotC: "Classic Settings" books (and a poll, of sorts)

[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 4027763, member: 59082"] I have (what I think) is a brilliant suggestion for the folks at Wizards of the Coast, something I would love to see implemented (and would gladly spend ca$h on). My guess is that Wizards will be fully supporting the Forgotten Realms, probably Eberron, and presumably some new setting at some point. What I would like to see is a series of supplements--perhaps hardcovers in the 200-300-page range--detailing, and updating, classic D&D settings for 4ed. They would most likely be one-offs, requiring no further supplements (unless it would be lucrative) and would serve the purpose of both pleasing fans of less popular, older, settings and determining if there is a market for expanding them. Part of what I didn't like about 3ed, is the lack of settings. Understandably it is more lucrative to focus on a couple popular settings, and of course with the OGL there were tons of settings being created by other companies, but I would like to see Wizards get back to more setting material and not just endless optional rules hardbacks. The obvious suspects would be (although there are probably others that I can't think): Al-Qadim Birthright Dark Sun Dragonlance Greyhawk Jakandor Kara-Tur Maztica Mystara Planescape (obviously updated for the new planar scheme, with Sigil as the basis) Ravenloft Spelljammer Now obviously some of the above would be more popular. I've put an asterisk next to the settings that I think would be more viable as products; the others, while it would be nice to see them, probably don't warrant a re-treatment. With that in mind, here is the poll: Which of the above settings (or others from TSR/WotC) would you pay, say, $40 for a 250-page hardback, and in what order would you most like to see them? Also, list those settings that you wouldn't buy or simply don't care either way. I'll offer my list by way of example: 1. Planescape 2. Spelljammer 3. Dark Sun 4. Dragonlance 5. Greyhawk 6. Mystara 7. Birthright Don't care/wouldn't buy: Al-Qadim, Jakandor, Kara-Tur, Maztica, Ravenloft If I get enough replies I might tally them, adding up points as follows: 10 points - 1st place 7 points - 2nd place 5 points - 3rd place 4 points - 4th place 3 points - 5th place 2 points - 6th place 1 points - 7th and beyond 0 points - Don't care/wouldn't buy [/QUOTE]
