[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6234313, member: 70"] I'm in a time crunch; I want to respond to a lot of what you said, but gotta pick and choose. :/ 5e Realms is going to lose a lot of the 4e stuff, I think that's a given. Some of it will change; in a sense, what WotC is doing is honing the setting by periodically getting rid of the stuff no one likes or uses. In the upgrade from 2e to 3e, chunks of the Shaar, Great Glacier, and Anarouch (sp?) disappeared because, frankly, nothing was there and it was boring. Abeir might have been interesting, but WotC never developed it at all . There are aspects of the 4e version that probably worked, however, and will remain. I'd go for a new presentation of Greyhawk, but not one that invalidated the material I already have. I want to upgrade, not undercut. I don't think that means a radical reset, though. Failure to utilize Anna B Meyer's maps for Greyhawk from here on out will constitute an automatic fail for WotC. I don't care if they revive Gary to write a 700 page opus; there is nothing, and I mean nothing, even close to Anna's maps for Greyhawk. It doesn't surprise me that we're mostly talking about FR and Greyhawk. I could be really interested in a serious reskinning of Mystara to take away some of the "gee-whiz" factor, and a new treatment of Birthright would be really cool; one that deals with it as a "normal" setting rather than the domain game it never quite succeeded at (it should get bigger, too. It's actually really really tiny - according to Roger Moore, the whole "continent" is about the size of Nyrond.) [/QUOTE]
