WotC What classic setting SHOULD WotC publish and why?

[Mind of tempest]

Let's be honest, no Elf is going to claim that's their bearded daughter. Just let the Dwarves claim her.

wait what.

It’s implied by opposition to them having an origin and story in the world as a race.

You can have that if you want it. But you don't need it. Just because one PC happens to belong to a certain lineage doesn't mean there has to be others the same on that world. As Rocket Raccoon says: "aint no thing like me, 'cept me."

Reckon WoTC missed the boat with Birthright.

JRR Martin literally stole a ton of ideas and inspiration from that game.

Ed Stark was a contributor for the main boxed set, and he also wrote several of the expansions and modules for it.

Also, I don't think Nentir Vale counts as classic, but I'd love a 5e setting guide set there, certainly long before more boring or one-note classics. Best D&D cosmology by far; and I say that as a hard-core Eberron fan.

What matters is that it's classic in our hearts.

This is the one setting I love and home brewed to
Death. I dropped the art (love tony”s art but it didn’t fit my homebrew). Basically kept the factions and portals and NPC’s and made it a techno/modern setting spanning the planes. They had technology drawn from all over the planes from a trillion times a trillion worlds in a trillion times a trillion alternative material planes. Sliders also where u could meet yourself from an alternate timeline or parallel universe. And sigil was the center of knowledges and tech and magic for a price. A lost tony stark from earth 8A213z2 ran a mechanic shop fixing broken hover crafts trying to find a doorway home. But that was me and alot of homebrewing.

This is almost the same approach to Sigil that my dad is taking with his upcoming Planescape campaign.

It just makes sense to me that planescape mechanus and sigil would have a higher level of technology. And I do the nine hells right out of the industrial revolution with the factories and mass production. I am generally very pro industrial revolution. But it’s the nine hells I focus on the worse aspects of it by having sweat shops and things like that. Not everyone was a Ford.
