[QUOTE="neobolts, post: 7175360, member: 65244"] I would love to have a single multi-setting book, i.e. "NAMEHERE's Guide to the Multiverse". The basic format would be a 250-ish page hardcover. The first 100 or so pages would be a Manual of the Planes rehash, with the spelljamming rules as well. After that, the final 150 pages would be a 15 page gazetteer for each of 10 selected campaign setting used in the past (ex: Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Eberron, Mystara, Dark Sun, Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, Maztica). Each setting entry would have a map, world overview, entries for the unique races of the setting (warforged, kender, etc), and any other essential crunch elements to run that world (dragonmarks, defilers, etc). This would serve the audience well in four ways. [LIST] [*]First, it would serve as a Manual of the Planes and allow for the "Stargate SG-1" type campaign where a planar party drops in or various worlds. [*]Second, it would provide a great starting point for players to run a campaign in one of the these setting and draw on the wealth of older material republished on DMs Guild. [*]Third, it would simply be a good read...a nostalgia fueled trip through the history of D&D campaign setting. [*]Fourth, it would not fracture the player base and would tie in with the current "X's Guide to Y" line. WotC could even open the book by devoting a page or so to how to run a campaign of Sword Coast natives that plane hop (to better integrate with existing product and keep the brand solvent).
