[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4890551, member: 40359"] Considering how far out they work on these, it might not be finally decided, but there must at least be a very short list with a final decision no later than the next couple months. From what I recall in past freelancing seminars, Chris Perkins said they typically plan and schedule over a year in advance. So in the summer of 2009, they are planning out the 2011 calendar. That's my vote as well. But to try to be more specific... hmm... I'm thinking something more swashbuckling and ocean/island-based. More Sinbad than Captain Jack Sparrow. I think it'll be a setting that isn't necessarily high magic, but favors high action, with a large amount of travel factored in. Possibly focusing on a lot of exotic cultures so they can work in some Oriental Adventures, Al-Qadim, and other pseudo-historical Earth cultures in without having it be "This is the Asian setting!" or "This is the Arabian setting!" since that wouldn't fly as well as it did 20 years ago. So my money is on an ocean-based, high travel, high (more swashbuckling less gritty) action, mid-magic level setting. I'm trusting my gut on this one since I thought they should do Dark Sun the first time I saw the 4e rules but second-guessed myself out of it more recently. Heck, the more I think about it, the cooler it sounds. Maybe I should write it up. ;) [/QUOTE]
