A new Dark Sun...after a new Dragonlance, plus whatever this contest campaign turns out to be. Hmmm...
I coulda swore that one of the things TSR did wrong, according to the WotC brass, was branch out into a bunch of different settings, losing its focus, and making books that few people would buy, compared to more generic splats that were generally more useful to everyone and less campiagn-specific.
It also goes against their rule that nothing they put out for D&D would require anything but the core books.
I am very skeptical of this...

No, no, no... Not collectable cards... We're not talking about
buying psionic power packets at the store.
I'm talking about one card for each attack/defense power. One for Ego Whip, one for Mind Blast, one for Intellect Fortress, etc...
Each attack card could then say the resulting damage done based on the defense card.
Plus, you can flip cards over to reveal both attack and defense at the same time. As opposed to now, where you get the crappy action of:
Psionicist 1: "Ego Whip!"
Psionicist 2: "Ego Whip, huh? Let me consult my table..."
While we're they're revising psionics, they should consider making psionic combat an ACTUAL OPTION in combat. Seriously, has anyone seen a psionic combat work successfully?
Psionicst 1: "I deal you 3 points of Wisdom damage! Haha!"
Psionicist 2: "What are you kidding? Who gives a crap about Wisdom damage. I deal 25 points of actual damage with my sword... And then maybe my party members will deal additional damage with their swords. Anybody else around here doing Wisdom damage to me? No? Oh well, looks like you're screwed."

Yes. Yes it would. I dug Dark Sun and would love to see it supported by WotC.

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
Well, if Morrus believes The Dragon, I guess the only thing to do is wait for the Stone of Tear to fall. *heads off, making sure there aren't any Aiel lurking in his pantry*
In any case, all of this seems like good news.
Best,
