[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5336355, member: 59082"] The problem with "unusual" settings is that they have limited appeal,s o while it is fun to dream the likelihood of WotC ever publishing another Tekumel is highly unlikely (unfortunately). That said, my all-time favorite published settings are Talislanta, Earthdawn, and Shadow World, all of which are unusual to varying degrees. I would love to see any of them get the WotC-4E treatment, but I don't see it happening. However, Redbrick has been planning a 4E version of Earthdawn for sometime, although if and when that actually happens remains to be seen. But Earthdawn is, in many ways, the ideal 4E setting--it has an interesting "points of light" rationale built in (and was a major inspiration for my own homebrew), but also an atmosphere distinctly its own. I've also said elsewhere that I'd like to see WotC produce a Spelljammer-esque "Pirates of the Astral Sea" board game. I like how WotC has revived and hybridized elements of Spelljammer and Planescape, but I'd like to see more. On a related note, another dream product I've mentioned before is an all-fluff "The Worlds of Dungeons & Dragons" book, which would include write-ups on every TSR/WotC fantasy setting that has ever been published, complete with maps and general descriptions ranging from 5-10 pages for "minor" settings like Jakandor and Al-Qadim, to 20-30 pages for "major" settings like Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms.
