My fears for it though... they've already said that they're against disallowing core elements in a setting. I think as a result it's too forceful to push certain classes in there like divine characters, though if they keep it extremely light and suggest "you don't see divine characters almost ever, but if you happened to they'd worship long forgotten gods..

Well, be a Cleric (or Pally) is a trained thing now, so you could simply say there are no gods (as indeed there are not in Athas), and that all Clerics and Paladins are trained by the Sorceror-Kings, and share the title of "Templar".

Elemental Priests could be some, well, Elemental Leader class, hopefully with a cooler name.
 


I haven't run anything but homebrew since I ran FR out of the grey box, quite a few years ago. And I doubt I will ever run a public setting again. I am however a settings whore, and will buy all but Greyhawk. I just never got Gary's original setting :(
 

Eberron and Dark Sun are the two I've enjoyed the most. If something new comes out, I may check it out as well. None of the other settings ever really grew on me.
 

Eberron, because I play games there and rather like the setting. And then anything else if it looks like there's going to be something interesting to mine; I'm picking up the FR Player's Guide not because of any interest in FR, but because the Swordmage class and PC Genasi (and even PC Drow, if only because they're the last piece of the eladrin/elf/drow triad) are interesting to me.
 

Planescape- I missed most of it the first time.
Ravenloft- Id be curious how the unfun parts of madness, gothic feeling of bieng powerless, fear and such would be handled. Hopefully they leave the dark powers a mystery. A new version of the Grand Conjuction be neat for a mega module traveling around the Realms of Terror.
Birthright- I only ran one campaign in this, but the concept was pretty neat.

Greyhawk if they got a number of the Paizo Dragon/Dungeon writers for it.

Realms is too diffrent for my taste. Then again Realms start losing me in 3e with all the events.

Dragonlance is just too in my players minds as books.
 

Pretty much all of them. They come out far enough apart that I can afford it.

As far as my preferences, I'd place Eberron in front (I just don't think they'll screw with this one), with Dark Sun (so long as they don't reboot it, and build off of the world shown in Dragon a few years back) and Planescape (so long as they reimagine it in the new cosmology, I have no use for the Great Wheel).
 

I voted Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, and Eberron. However, since it looks like Fantasy Flight might not be converting Midnight over I'll have to do a homebrew based on Midnight. :.-(
 

Eberron, Dark Sun and Planescape for sure. I'd also consider Ravenloft, but it would have to be done very well. From what I have read of 4E, I'm not convinced that this would be a good fit, as the characters seem very compotent and heroic. That's not something I imagine in Ravenloft characters.
