What do you think the new setting will be, from Ampersand?

[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 4692457, member: 6533"] Well, I voted for Al-Quadim because I think Al-Quadim style adventures with their mix of Harryhausen style cinematic episodes, well done exotic fantasy, and honest Arabian Night-style fables would be a fantastic edition to 4e. I don't think it's likely, and there are other solutions for Al-Quadim that I think worked better, but I voted for it. Dark Sun does seem like a possibility, but I have profound misgivings for how that setting could be updated. As others have said, it was pretty much demolished the first time around, and there are elements of Dark Sun that I don't see working at all well with 4e design philosophy. At this point any edition of Dark Sun would have to be a complete reimagining anyway, and I don't think doing it will grant anyone good will. Since PHB3 will have the Ki power source in it a totally redone Oriental Adventures - maybe with Al-Quadim elements in it - would seem like a great choice. [/QUOTE]
