[QUOTE="GuyBoy, post: 8364511, member: 7031143"] With the rider that I think, and hope, that 6e is several years away, I voted yes. This raises the question of what the core setting should be. If it was up to me, I’d go for Greyhawk because it ticks all my grognard boxes, is both vanilla enough and large enough to accommodate multiple cultures and it resonates with the rich history of the game from Acererak to Tenser and from the Steading to Hommlet. And this is why it should up to me.....or anyone else as an individual for that matter. There are as many arguments against Greyhawk as there are for it. The same can be said for FR, Eberron, Dark Sun etc. Just imagine the setting wars on these messageboards! If 6e is going to have a core setting, it needs to be as new as 6e. The best comparison would be Nentir Vale for 4e. I am trusting enough of WOTC to believe they would come up with a setting that worked, and was supported by campaign books, adventures, novels etc. Of course, not everyone would like it and that would be fine. One could always play FR, Eberron or a 3PP setting or whatever suited. For me, I’d try the new setting if I liked it, or you might find me DMing in Steampunkette’s S&S setting....or maybe in the Yatil Mountains. [/QUOTE]
