[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 3920564, member: 1003"] Two things: 1. I doubt they'll republish all of these. Planescape, despite it being made of pure liquid awesome, wasn't ever published for 3E, and now the Astral Sea doesn't even have a 'center' for Sigil to rest on. Like in 3E, they'll do a Planes book and move one. Instead they'll do at least one, and maybe two, new settings that showcase 4E. 2. If some of the above are worth doing in 4E (such as Dragonlance), they're worth doing in 2009 rather than later. Money from a good license today is better than money tomorrow. Just because WotC is only releasing one setting book per year doesn't mean there will only be one setting book per year. They'll just be released by others. WotC just needs to figure out what their over-arching strategy is so they can negotiate license terms that advance that. That could work. Ravenloft was never a really good fit for the (what's now called) Paragon and Epic bits of D&D. What was the point of being 30th level if you [I]still [/I]can't challenge the Domain Lords? Ravenloft would work better with a low-power/low-fantasy rule set more similar to d20 Modern/Grim Tales than with Core D&D. The same goes for any "gothic" or "early modern" game, such as Call of Cthulu or a Leage of Extraordinary Gentlemen game. [/QUOTE]
