[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4540940, member: 40359"] Although my favorite old setting is Planescape, quite frankly I don't see it fitting into the 4e mindset. Even beyond the obvious cosmology and alignment changes, the emphasis of the 4e rules aren't a very good fit for Planescape as I personally see it. Plus with the business direction of WotC in their 4e products, I can't see Planescape as I like it fitting in that either. However, a very well done Dark Sun would get me to play 4e. That setting meshes very well both 4e rules-wise and WotC product style. And even though (houseruled) 3.5/PathfinderRPG is my current ideal of D&D done right, I think I would actually prefer a 4e Dark Sun to a 3.5 one. 4e would capture the over the top savageness of Dark Sun very well. Right behind that for me is also Al Qadim. I only played that for a single campaign back in college, but it was a lot of fun. However, I can see that setting fitting well under either an official 4e version or a well done Arabian-inspired setting in 3.5/Pathfinder. But, WotC, if you're listening, a 4e version of Dark Sun that is: -- well done (can't define it, but know it when I see it) :) -- true to the original spirit -- close enough to canon without a massive Spellplague-like reset then my group and I would finally buy into 4e. I'm just saying. :) [i]Edit[/i]: That being said, I'll add my voice to wanting to see what a new, "made for 4e" setting would look like. But that would be hit or miss on whether I would pick it up.
