Some of the setting could probably make money if they were run better (ie not sold at a loss like PLanescape and probably DS) Its why I said I would go back to the oringals, TSR/WotC metaplot has drove away the fans- spellplague and Dragonlance has been butchered around 3 or 4 times worse than any of the FR metaplot stories except perhaps the Spellplague.  A main problem all of the setting had that attracted you to them were often destroyed by that metaplot.  Darksun "Here is this cool/interesting setting, there is a singular Dragon and the world is harsh ruled by 7 despots". 4 years later the Dragon is dead along with 4/7 Sorcerer Kings and surfing Druids (they farmed the setting out to freelancers and reassigned the inventors of the setting). Its also why I said they should bring back the original authors where possible and they are willing, Heard is keen, probably Hickman and Weiss, Tim Brown maybe, Greenwood is always involved with FR.</blockquote>
