D&D Worlds

I'd love to see Al-Qadim come back! I'm not holding my breath, though.

The only things for certain are FR and Eberron.

Unless someone magically convinces them that it would be worthwhile, I don't expect any of the other old TSR settings to be animated and sent forth shambling from their graves.

Hopefully they have more taste than to do something like Nyambe. That particular horror reads just like normal D&D, but all the actors are in blackface. Its quite disturbing, poorly researched and badly implemented. Though the audience is probably safe from a socially inappropriate setting on the basis that there isn't a strong financial reason to do African-esque fantasy.

Nyambe was D&D in blackface no more that Oriental Adventures was D&D in yellowface. I rather liked it as a drop-in continent for more traditional settings. The fact that it fit well with standard D&D is a good thing for that type of use.

Likely not as "full-fledged" lines the way FR was/is published, but I could see a line of books doing the old settings as one-offs like Ghostwalk or the WoT they published during 3.0 times. Call em D&D vintage, or D&D classics or some such and work down Mystara, Spelljammer, Dark Sun, etc.., etc... as 180 page books with setting info, the odd race, class, spell, equipment, paragon path thrown in for good measure and leave the "support" to the collectors and die-hards.

With all those fans and websites out there, I find it very hard to believe one wouldn't be able to make money out of these brands.

They have said they will do one setting a year. But, beyond FR in 08 and probably Eberon in 09, we don't know what they will be, yet.

If done right, I'd buy each of them.

The problem is, my opinion of done right wouldn't agree with someone else's opinion of done right and everyone would argue over how they did it.

Aye that's what I'd love to see
