Message: <blockquote data-quote="Technik4" data-source="post: 680661" data-attributes="member: 7211">RE: Wizards and Campaign SettingsOk, it is true that to this point wizards has only supported 2 settings, Greyhawk, via an entire (jilted) campaign based on 10(?) modules, and a mega-campaign, Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and a series of 5 "splat" books detailing various organizations found in greyhawk. Personally, I would be more inclined to play if they DID release some rules-hevay "crunchy" setting book, as I never bought any of those during 2ed.The other setting that has been supported for the last 2 years is Forgotten Realms. A setting book, a magic book, a monster book, a "gods" book, a regional book, and a villains book, not to mention a DM screen and a mega-adventure, City of the Spider Queen. Still in the pipe is a races book and another regional book.Now, some things wizards have stated (Im going off of memory, this is not word for word):We will be supporting a new campaign every 2 years.We will be releasing a new mega-adventure every year.Based on that data, I think either the "new" setting by Mr Baker or possibly hopefully maybe Dark Sun will be supported. More than likely, Dark Sun will get a big crunchy book and further support will fall to another company, and WotC will throw all their eggs in a brand new basket, fully supporting the new campaign with additional books, aides, modules, etc.Now the key here is, either way, IF the rumors are true, then releasing a revised Psionics Handbook (as others have said, beef it up, add some Mind's Eye and other OGL work by Bruce "Psion" Cordell) is a perfect strategy if they are also releasing a "crunchy" Dark Sun book that will NOT be supported after the main book by WotC (note, this does not mean it will not be supported at all, see also Ravenloft, Rokugan) and releasing a fully supported Psi-Heavy "new" campaign. [Ed note- that was one hell of a setntence]But thats just my opinion and I could be wrong...Technik</blockquote>
