[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 7456887, member: 6698278"] Sure they could. They just say that from now on they will produce modules that can be placed in a variety of D&D settings. While Greyhawk was the default 1e setting, by no means was it a problem to put those modules anyplace else. They were designed that way. In fact, often they'd give you multiple locations to put a module in Greyhawk itself. I'd produce a new campaign setting every three years. I'd keep them all in print so long as anyone kept buying them. PDFs forever of course. Maybe print on demand too. I might even allow for new stuff to be produced for the most recent three settings. I think one thing lacking in D&D also is very well defined cities like Ptolus. To me that is the ultimate city book. I wouldn't have to have the adventures necessarily. Edit: By the way Pathfinder and I believe RuneQuest chose the latter. They've settled on Golarion and Glorantha. I think D&D is big enough though to try the former. The only other option to me would be to just have one setting and never deviate from it. Kind of boring. Not very creative but over time a group could collect everything. Every town eventually gets detailed. [/QUOTE]
