[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 8223062, member: 6061"] I don't see what setting will be released. I love Greyhawk, but I am old and frequently wrong. There is no champion for Greyhawk at WotC. No Erik Mona level of interest like in 3E. I don't see what stories can't be told without a Greyhawk campaign book. A setting book needs to enable new stories that are only hinted at in the base game. Eberron has a hook. Greyhawk is what the game was based on. So settings that enable wider storytelling: Dragonlance: This is the classic fantasy epic with a tight central story, The War of the Lance, and enough differences from straight D&D to seem different, without overwhelming. I see more of a Campaign Adventure Path book tying in with the new DL fiction books coming out. Planescape: Expands the boundaries of the game. Introduces a new annoying cant to annoy berks with. Planescape book would be a springboard for planar adventures of all types. Spelljammer: So much weird fun. Ptolemaic physics and ship battles in Sppaaaaaacccee! I don't think there is enough story to Spelljammer to warrant a campaign setting. I love the Scro and Imperial Elves, but it was always thin. I see mechanics being molded into another monster/theme book. Planejammer could be a thing, but those Hammerheads and Nautiloids don't have to stay in the Astral. Dark Sun: Doubtful. No coherent psionics yet. No wild talents. WotC adverse to having any sort of limitations to core races/classes in PHB. If it is released it will be a very different setting to 2E and 4E versions. I don't see it this year. Setting search Part Deux? Why not do another contest to find the next Eberron? Nah I don't see this. I don't see other settings being resurrected as campaign settings. I can see many being used as references for Ghost of Salt Marsh collections, but actual settings? [/QUOTE]
