[QUOTE="touc, post: 8159445, member: 19270"] A new campaign setting in which PCs must race to find a cure for a pandemic affecting their land that turns everyone into zombies. WOTC miscalculates how its players will respond to the setting and how zombies are so "2000 and 10" and sales tank on this new venture to the point they accept an offer to sell from a conglomerate of forum lurkers who launched a WOTC takeover Kickstarter with the goal of implementing homebrew fixes and eliminating Twitter as a source of official rulings. More likely, though, a 30th anniversary edition reboot of Dark Sun, because we all love even numbers along with a Dragonlance setting D&D movie to test the waters with a built-in fan base + everyone who loves Chris Pine. As to testing the waters, I seriously will keep an eye on hype. Video games, conventions, books. When Dark Sun was released in 1991 for AD&D and again in 2010 for 4E, it was preceded by a crap-load of hype of this type so that you couldn't wait to get your hands on it. Dark Sun also came along at a time when gamers had seen quite a bit of traditional settings and were clamoring for something new.
