Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dronehound" data-source="post: 4029658" data-attributes="member: 58975">My ideas are not really for the reprinting of most of the classic settings, but more of an adaptation of their concept.1 - The other Forgotten Realms (Zakhara, Kara-Tur, Maztica & Golden Horde).  Instead of a "new setting", these could be incorporated into the Forgotten Realms, with the special flavours added by way of feats, talent trees and paths/destinies.  Samurai, for example, could be a paragon path, while Sha'ir would be a talent tree available to arcane controllers.  No need for a boatload of new rules and new systems, just the flavour.  Albeir-Toril would be a real planet, instead of just the continent.2 - Birthright.  My favourite 2ed setting.  There new rules should be created for domain rulership and everything in addition to the flavour.  And most importantly, the war cards system should be totally scrapped.  In my opinion, the Birghtright setting could be used to serve as the backdrop of the rulership and mass combat rules for 4e.3 - Planescape.  With the Great Wheel.  I'm not impressed at all of what i've seen of the new planes.  I loved the Great Wheel, it was simple and functional.  But with the whole Astral Sea and Elemental Chaos, I think that combining Planescape and Spelljammer could create something cool.  Instead of the Crystal Spheres and the Phlogiston, the Spelljammers would navigate the Astral Sea and Elemental Chaos between the different Material Planes.  The more I think about it, the more I think I could build an epic campaign out of this concept...Mystara, Dark Sun, Greyhawk (in that order) should be reinstated as offical campaign settings.  Dark Sun had something unique with the survival concept and had plenty of flavour.   Greyhawk is a classic, and with the same treatment as the realms (100 years in the future), then it could be viable again.  Mystara, with the lost of the Alphatians, the collapse of Thyatis and the colonisation of Norworld, could also be an interresting place.  In my opinion, WotC should do like White Wolf does with it's new World of Darkness, have a couple of major official lines (nWoD, Vamp, Were and Mage) and print 5-6 books of minor lines (Promethean, Changeling, Scion, Rome, etc.)  Make sure that the books have more flavour then rule heavy.  A lot of people I know buy books of lines they don't even intend to play just to read and be inspired by the flavour.</blockquote>
