At least from a publisher’s standpoint.In the Forgotten Realms as they are now, what’s left for them to detail?  This isn’t completely a rhetorical question.  People say WotC has poked into every corner, but I really don’t know.  Given that there’s nothing new to really explore in new setting books, what can they  publish?  Setting specific adventures?  Booklets updating NPC stats to 4th edition? Updated NPC stats could be a good additional feature for DnDInsider, but cranking out books full of them would seem to be a limited publishing strategy.If not a substantial reboot, what new FR supplements should WotC publish after 4e?The FR100yl reboot would allow them to review and revisit every area of FR with new material.  They’d also be able to address many of the common problems non-FR fans have had with the setting.WotC will have to look at how many sales they’ll gain from new customers versus how many they’ll lose from disgruntled FR fans.  If they can distill enough FR flavor while jettisoning most of the baggage blocking new customers, this could be a win for them.Setting the 'Event' ten years forward in their current timeline but ninety years before their reboot could be an interesting choice.  If WotC supports their 3.5 FR material with online updates it would make it easier for groups in current FR campaigns to just keep playing, either ignoring the reboot or eventually playing through the event.Sam</blockquote>
