[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4030624, member: 29398"] A few thoughts on each one: Al-Qadim - I'd like to see more done with this one from an interest standpoint, but I rather doubt I'd buy it new. Birthright - while I'd love to see this one re-done and would probably even buy it, I just can't see the Birthright setting being compatible with 4e's Points-of-Light design parameters. Dark Sun - heard of it but never seen it (though it seems to have some fans here!) Dragonlance - works well as a series of books, somewhat well as a series of adventures, but does nothing for me as an overall setting. I'll pass. Greyhawk - having played in it, I can't say it does anything for me...though it has some nicely stealable deities for insertion into other settings... :) Jakandor - never heard of it. Kara-Tur - barely heard of it. Maztica - again, from an interest standpoint I'd want to see what could be done with this, but I probably wouldn't buy it. Mystara - sign me up. Now. If I was ever going to use a pre-conned setting again, Mystara would probably be it. Planescape - I'm not a big fan, though doing something with this might force a rethink of the rather bizarre (and minimal) plane system 4e has shown us so far; and that alone would make it worthwhile. Ravenloft - I always thought this was a setting with a ton of potential that was never quite realized. It deserves another chance, but I'd want to see what was done with it before deciding to buy or not. Spelljammer - though this setting has some fans, I am not one. Sink it. So, I guess my list would go something like: Mystara Birthright (if they could find a way to make it work with PoL) Ravenloft (Al-Qadim - for interest only) (Maztica - for interest only) After that, I don't care very much.
