D&D 5E (2014) Poll: What D&D setting do you want to have an official 5E book?

Nope. Sword Coast has a book, and there are options for Al-Qadim and Kara-Tur for people to choose.

If I allowed a general "the rest of FR" option I'd have to add one for Eberron (beyond Khorvaire) and Ravenloft (beyond Barovia), which I'm not planning on doing.

It’s more like proposing Xen’drik and Argonnessen because there is already a book on Breland, but none of the five nations...

There is tons of design room for other regions of Faerun, both in terms of fluff and character options, but I understand the fatigue.

That’s why my vote is for “none”. I’ve got what I want from 5e, but some of the older AD&D stuff that was never updated to 3.x or 4e is harder to find when you want a hardcover or physical copy.

If anything, give me edition-neutral campaign setting books, and have a small chapter tell me how to adapt them to 5e in adventure books.

I voted for Dragonlance, but really that's tied with Greyhawk. The only reason Dragonlance won out for the actual vote is that I could easily run Greyhawk in 5e using the original Folio. I feel like Dragonlance requires more mechanics, and would benefit more from official stats.

Not that that doesn't stop me from imagining a Greyhawk setting book that also has things like the thief-acrobat subclass tucked into it, along with a bunch of other old-school things that haven't made it to 5e yet.

Planescape, Council of Wyrms, Dragonlance, Ghost walk in that order.

Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Al-Qadim, Council of Wyrms

What is "Maharsapa", isn't "Iron Fist" by other now? Could WotC get the rights for a d20 Rokugan? If it is possible.... only humans could be members of the samurai clans?

Really I want the metaplot of Greyhawk, Dark Sun and Ravenloft continuing. But I am afraid this has to await because these are linked with the future media projects.

I would like a new Oriental Adventures, but with classes as samurai, ninja or sohei, and with interesting racial traits for the shen. I like shens' background but not their racial traits very much.

* I would dare to bet we will see a Spelljammer setting in this edition because is a line with magical vehicles, and Hasbro is wishing to sell D&D toys.

Mahasarpa is a South Asian-themed campaign setting featuring seven kingdoms that are the surviving remnants of a great kingdom brought down by its own arrogance. Mahasarpa was designed by James Wyatt, and was offered as a free web enhancement to the Oriental Adventures rulebook for D&D 3rd edition. Mahasarpa includes brief descriptions of the seven kingdoms, character options for the setting, new magic items, and new monsters.

Dragon Fist, released on the Wizards of the Coast website, was promoted as a new role playing game, describing itself in its introduction as an "AD&D variant". With its debut near the end of the lifespan of second edition, the variant rules blended rules found in different editions. For example, the game used the monster template of second edition, but the armor class rules of third edition. The campaign setting, created by Chris Pramas, is an Oriental realm known as Tianguo, "a fictional land based on wuxia films and on Chinese folklore and legend". Beyond the initial release, the product was not supported.

I think Wizard's has proven they can make a partnership with pretty much anyone, as Stranger Things and Rick & Morty has proven. So I didn't exclude any settings from the poll for that reason.

I see space in the marke for a new Kara-Tur, but if we see the Asian videogames set in Oriental Fantasy we can find that public would rather a different style. I guess the best option would to allow third-party to publish in DM Guild their own version of a Oriental Adventure setting.

Other option could be to adapt Oriental fantasy world from Magic: the Gathering.

Nentir Vale / Nerath never got its proper book for 4e, so I would like to see a 5e book that gave the setting justice. However, after seeing Mike Mearls's take on the setting in one of his streamed games, I don't think the current crew are necessarily the people I would want writing it.

Planescape. My all times favourite setting is Dark Sun (2E), but I don't think you can do justice to DS with 5e.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

The runaway leaders in the poll are Dark Sun (24%), Greyhawk (18%), and Planescape (17%).

Dark Sun and Planescape don't surprise me; they're consistently the most called for settings. Greyhawk being so popular totally takes me by surprise (more popular than Planescape is incredible), but it is not an unwelcome surprise.
