D&D (2024) What older setting do you want to see next?

[Frozen_Heart]

Ideally I'd love to see Dark Sun (along with a psion class). However I'm not sure that 5e could handle the topics involved in the setting so maybe it's best to avoid it.

Nentir Vale - James Wyatt, Rich Baker, and Chris Perkins as writers
- do not let Todd Kendreck touch it because he would just turn it into Forgotten Realms -

OR

Iomandra - Chris Perkins's homebrew world for 4e, which was an island hopping version of 4e implied setting

Now that we know Planescape is coming, I voted for both Greyhawk and Dark Sun (technically listed as <Other>), but with the proviso that I want them only on condition that neither they nor Planescape are treated the way Spelljammer apparently was. A proper campaign setting is large, robust, detailed, and robustly imaginative; it need not include any "starter" adventures or even any explicit adventure hooks, but writers who want to include such certainly can. The setting itself, though, needs to be as expansive and encompassing as the world it describes. DM screens are cute, fun, and useful (assuming essential charts, maps, etc. are on their interiors), but they do not count as part of the setting.

I want a return to the true campaign setting; give me those and I'll be happy.

Does he work on official products now? I thought he just did the Youtube interviews for them. And what about him leads you to think this?

The Heroes of the Vale campaign he ran. More precisely, Mearls started the Heroes of the Vale campaign with some controversial changes to the setting. Mearls-related drama happened. Todd Kendreck took over and then over the course of the campaign he basically killed the Nentir Vale and moved the heroes to the Forgotten Realms instead.

Birthright for the epic play!!

Exactly this. Look, the best way to used settings for me is to fill genre slots. Don't care for Ravenloft as a setting, but want tools for Horror? Van Richten has some things for you. Have an elaborate social setting but want some simple rules for framework? Take a look into Stryxhaven. Epic DnD is always a niche setting. But it should be covered in every edition in some capacity. Making it a setting improves the chance people will take a look and gives a setting for those who need one.

Greyhawk by a mile. Seems to be a wonderful fit for the 50th Anniversary too.
I like Nentir Vale as a smaller campaign setting if that was the objective but it doesn’t carry the historical kudos of Greyhawk.

The top five settings that should be released:

1. Greyhawk
2. The Flanaess
3. Oerth
4. The Great Kingdom is neither Great nor a Kingdom- discuss.
5. Western Oerik


#GREYHAWKCONFIRMED!

Voted Birthright, but Gothic Earth from Masque of the Red Death would also have gotten my vote.

 

[Elodan]

Forgotten Realms ( full setting, not just the Sword Coast )
Greyhawk

What can I say, I like vanilla.
