[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 4890725, member: 59082"] I would think that 2011 would almost certainly be a new setting, especially considering there are probably only four or five more years of settings before 5ed, although I wouldn't be surprised if WotC upped their one-a-year to two-a-year by 2012 or 2013, with a major release (as is now: campaign guide, player's guide, adventures) and a minor release (one book with all three in it). As for the others... Spelljammer - great idea, but too "weird" for mass consumption. I don't think we'll see this, at least not in 2011 or 2012, and then maybe more as a core book expansion ala Manual of the Planes and less as a campaign setting (e.g. "Manual of the Spheres"). Mystara, Greyhawk - too "vanilla", and also too old school. Dragonlance - also too "vanilla," although less so than the above two. Even more so it seems to over-worked. They'd either have to go back to the original Chronicles era or go further in the future. Ravenloft, Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, Maztica - too specific. I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see an expansion book for FR, something like "Other Lands" that includes the latter three. Birthright - too unpopular. I would have liked to see Wizards take a slightly different route and release two settings a year, one major release--either a new setting or one of the big ones (FR, Eberron)--and a "D&D Classics" line (they could still do this), which would only be one book.
