Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 7392568" data-attributes="member: 22424">IMO they should do what "Doctor Who" did when it came back: a quasi-reboot: you take the existing lore and use as much, or as little, of it as you feel makes for the best resulting setting.So since Eberron was never formally lined up with the Realms, they can just use it pretty much as-is, and assume that all books published to date happened to line up with 'now'. Likewise Athas, Mystara, Birthright, and most of the others. Dragonlance already has canon that saw it taken off to some pocket dimension, so just rule that that was some sort of time-lock too, and call it done.Which just leaves Planescape (which is a law unto itself), Ravenloft (which seems to have some sort of weird stasis going on anyway), Spelljammer, and Greyhawk. For Spelljammer, I'd probably advocate pretty much a full reboot (along the same lines as 4e Dark Sun), while Greyhawk probably wants to be handwaved back to the way Gary left it (that is, reverse the Wars).What I certainly don't want to see is FR-specific events being retconned into all the existing settings. If WotC publish for Eberron, Spelljammer, or Dark Sun then I'll buy, but it's conditional - the moment a Spellplague hits any of those settings, count me out.</blockquote>
