[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 6437727, member: 6779310"] That's an excellent question... Mystara, if used, will be the point to showcase the vibrant range of humans. It historically does so more poignantly than FR or Greyhawk, specifically by having ethnic-specific classes, as well as ethnic bonuses and restrictions to general skills. Plus, the Gaz line was one of the first settings rereleased in PDF when WotC initially launched into PDF, and that due to popular support. Ravenloft is a compressed setting - each culture is artificially small chunks. It's also the horror rules. And further, it'a staple for a slightly higher "baseline technology level"... mid-to-late renaissance instead of high-medieval. Eberron deserves reprint, if only because it's a much less medieval feel while still supporting the standard races and classes a place in setting. (Note: I've no interest in it myself, but it's a deserving setting.) FR and Grayhawk both fill the same vanilla-generic space. Planescape and Spelljammer both allow bridging between various campaign worlds. Both also have some specific elements of their own. Spelljammer is also useful for those who don't want to "switch settings" with it, but want flying ships, either with or without space capability. Treasure Planet (disney) was very much a Spelljammer type setting, so the imagery is still vibrant enough for popular release. [/QUOTE]
