Is it time for a new setting?

Past time, really.

They've been coasting on same old-same old for a decade now.

Which is precisely why Eberron rocks!

Seriously, I think the "Three books per setting, one setting per year" idea is wicked-smart. The only downside is having to wait a whole 'nother year for more.

Aside from 4E's fancy new utilitarian default setting, we are effectively getting FR along with 4E; the first FR book comes out, what, two months later? That's pretty close to release, especially given that they don't want to directly compete with the sale of their own core books. We'll have all of FR by fall anyway, so I'm not worried. (And thanks to this new strategy, I'm about one billion percent more likely to actually purchase an FR product now. I'll probably get all the settings. Except for Dragonlance, yuch. ...And I really want Planescape now.)

I would like to see a map and general descriptions of areas in the basic PoL setting. Some history and place names were mentioned in the preview books. I think a little more context would be nice. It should remain pretty generic and broadly described so that DMs can fill in the details. A few page Dungeon article would be enough, rather than a full setting treatment.

the default setting is new enough, as are the realms... and i would really like to see dark sun and ravenloft before a new setting is done...

Meh, there are scads of settings out there already. I'm presently high on Monte Cook's Ptolus. (I'm going to keep running it and convert on the fly.)

I don't much care about any new setting from Wizards at the moment.

We know KotS will have a area map, Thunderspire may have a connected map...and so on building out the "world" in the process.

Which is actually sort of cool.

To bad I am such an obsesive home-brewer.

From everything I've seen on the default setting, they shouldn't have built that, much less ANOTHER one.

Honestly, what I would really like to see are some books for the default setting that help you to make you own settings. Like the d20 modern postapocalyptic book.

I don't want them to make 4 mini settings in one book, frankly I don't like using any settings other than my own, I just want a big book of ideas, towns, Society structure rules, maybe some rules on different climates (jungle, desert, islands and sailing, etc), organizations, cults, guilds, that sort of stuff.

I just want to make my own settings with my own storylines... but if wotc had a book that could help make that easier I would definately buy it.

I would like to see a new setting that is more traditional fantasy (why I do not like Ebberon) with a sane level of higher NPCs and groups (why I do not like FR).

I have played Greyhawk for decades, and will probably continue doing so, if I do not do some serious work on my own setting, something that is very tempting.

I would like to see a new setting. Maybe some of the runner ups to the setting search
