[QUOTE="Ydars, post: 4231560, member: 62992"] I vote for a completely new setting for 4E that runs with the PoL concept BIGTIME! I want something new; maybe based on a post apocalyptic world with a really nice backstory; a world recovering from a magical ice-age, created to stop the avatar of evil from ruling the world. Valleys and canyons open up in the mile high ice and reveal the civilisations that have been cut off from one another for a thousand years. Monsters caught up in the last battle defrost from the ice and come back to life; the former servants of the evil avatar, whilst the PCs are similarly re-animated heroes from another age. Just something new that isn't based on a really cartoon vision of western history, yet is twisted enough that we don't immediately associate it with any particular place. I want drawings of dress, buildings etc; perhaps as a comic. Exalted managed this very nicely, creating a very unique world and showing it through some comics produced by UDON. WoTC should be able to do MUCH better. Whilst I LOVE parts of FR, it is now SO big and disjointed that it is a total patchwork quilt and just doesn't feel real to me anymore in many places. I still love the northlands but really dislike the south and the whole direction the backstory is going in. Eberron seems a really consistent setting, but is only great if you love steampunk (and I don't). [/QUOTE]
