Is it time for a new setting?

[TwinBahamut]

It is always time for a new setting. I would much rather see new settings than an endless parade of old 2E settings that I will never care about. I am hoping WotC will release the other Setting Search finalist settings soon.

Well, WotC has already said they're going to do a brand new settting... at some point. Personally, unless it's a true innovation for D&D I'd rather they just continue to update the popular settings they already have...

Considering how Eberron turned out and how stupid that contest was, I don't have any faith in WotC producing anything unique that hasn't already been done.

/reflects on how people really can have different opinions on just about everything.

I know! So amazing!

Wait, wha...?

The big question is what should be "next" in 2010??

Give me Dragonlance then Ravenloft then Spelljammer then Darksun

Spelljammer always seems to go just before the edition crash and you need a variety of worlds in which they can jump from, plus what would SJ be without Tinker's

No new setting until 5E, give the old stuff some love

Yes, and it should be the setting I'm going to publish in about a year and a half's time if I ever get my fat arse into gear

They basically have a new setting. The 'default' world that is featured in all the core books.

Mysthawk Realms of the Lance

Eberron is a gorram joke. Anyone could have written that tripe. It's just everything D&D all mashed up into some unrealistic melting pot of craptastic crapitude. I like for my settings to make sense, to have some sort of plausibility to them. A theme. Eberron is just a melting pot that says, "I am trying sooooo hard to be everything and anything about D&D!"

And it's just full of epic fail. So yeah, I have no faith in WotC ever producing a unique setting as richly themed as Dark Sun or Midnight.

Aria Silverhands, I've highlighted the words that specifically incriminate you as someone who has never read the Eberron Campaign Setting. You should have a look at it, it's actually pretty amazing once you give it a chance. Giving the ECS a read might also help you not to sound so pretentious and bitter. Think about it.
