I got hooked into FR in 3e, but as of 4e they've lost me on it due to the amount of changes. Not only did they advance the timeline and thus obliterate vast numbers of mortal NPCs and plots, but they altered the tone and feel of the setting to that point that it's a different setting at this point. And sadly, I'm not really interested in the new setting.Settings need to evolve and be dynamic worlds (Hell, I adored Faction War for Planescape), but there's a limit to that when it goes over the top and seems to be either change for the sake of change, or it ceases to be the same setting.It would be a hard sell for me for Planescape (and it would be a no sell if they tried to shoehorn it into the PoL 4e cosmology), but any love I give to settings is tough love, so it would be possible (and hell I'd give a lung to be involved in it).Dark Sun I had little exposure to, but loved the 2e material (just don't go crazy advancing the timelines, giving metal to everyone, making jungles and water everywhere, etc).Ravenloft would be a hard sell, if only because of the difficulties I see using some of the 4e implied tone with Ravenloft style gothic horror. By all means try to make it work, but don't do it at the setting's expense. Plus, White Wolf's imprint did a damn fine job with the setting in 3e, so they've got two editions' shoes to fill here.</blockquote>
