[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6318296, member: 59082"] I hear that and agree with you to an extent, especially aesthetically. But I also see good commercial reasons why they went with the Realms, and also the simple fact that for every person like you who is tired of the Realms there are a few who still love it, not to mention newbies who haven't been exposed yet. I think it is a bird in hand type of thing. I hear you. But let's apply this to Greyhawk and just about every other WotC/TSR setting. Nentir Vale is the newest at six years, and then Eberron at, what, 10 years? I too would like to see a new setting, and I think we will. But part of what WotC is trying to do with 5E is not throw the entire legacy of the game out but celebrate it. I get it, even as I look forward to exploring a new setting. Yup. I think this is likely what we're going to see. But I think we're going to see some of the classic settings licensed out to third parties to create like they did with Tyranny of Dragons. They might do the Realms themselves, but I could see Greyhawk and Dragonlance being done by someone else. Then they'll be working on a new setting in the background which they'll unveil in 2016 or 2017. "Next" is so 2012. [/QUOTE]
