[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 7728916, member: 6669048"] It seemed the most obvious. Putting it under community management instead of anything creative means it's most likely going to be some organized play. The other clue was that they specifically require someone with knowledge of fantasy gaming and fantasy entertainment. Ravenloft (which they've already touched on anyway) would require horror, Eberron steampunk, Planescape or Spelljammer science fiction, Dark Sun post-apocalyptic... It might be Dragonlance, but I can't see them doing it without Hickman and Weis at this point. Weis at least has publicly expressed interest in working on it again, and their fingerprints are so deeply on that setting, not involving them in some way would be a huge misstep. And bringing them on would mean they wouldn't need an additional designer as they've got enough people on staff already. You might say the same about Keith Baker and Eberron too (since he's still writing unofficial/OGL material for the setting on his blog), but I don't think he's nearly as tightly tied in fans' minds with the setting as Hickman and Weis are with Dragonlance. Or for all I know, it could be a brand new setting or even a license. Would be cool if they snagged the rights to something like Gentlemen Bastards or Kingkiller or another fiction series. And the same signs that point to Greyhawk could also apply there. [/QUOTE]
