[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 6765351, member: 23751"] I think WotC has set themselves up with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Most of the campaigns that I see people here and on the late D&D forums clamor for haven't been supported since 2e. Planescape, Dragonlance, Darksun, Birthright, and so on. Oh, there were a few Dragon articles for them, but that really doesn't count as support. Even Greyhawk had no 3e support and it was the default world! The only support it had was that the gods listed in the PHB were Greyhawk gods. It's no wonder that the person early on in the thread who started with 3e didn't know anything about it. The Realms on the other hand has had a great deal of support in every edition. Name recognition and support have a lot to do with the results of polls, especially when a good chunk of players (any who started at 3e or later) have never played in those other campaigns. Who is going to vote for Darksun when they don't know much about it and/or have never experienced play in that campaign? [/QUOTE]
