D&D 5E What settings would you like to see in 5e?

[Sacrosanct]

Otherwise, Conan HYBORIA

Are Howard's works public domain? Date wise, they should be, but I seem to recall where for some reason, someone holds the IP rights to them. Although, I'm not quite sure how that works.

Erickson's (and Esselmont's) world from Malazon Book of the Fallen series. I think that the Warren magic would be hard to replicate in 5E though.

It is sort of the reverse of what we have now: a small number of class spells that everyone uses (blast, minor healing, communication, dispel magic, and at higher levels entering the warren and/or summoning something out of it) and the majority of spells being "domain"/subclass spell (on top of that, being high priest of X seems to mean something mechanically, but otherwise cleric=wizards). Maybe it would be feasible with the mystic as a chassis.....

The FANUILH world by Daniel Hood would be pretty cool in my book!

Also love anything Brandon Sanderson, though his magic might be hard to convert. Scadriel and Roshar would be great to play in.

It will never happen, and I could not run it very well, but I would love to be a player in a setting based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

 

[Matrix Sorcica]

David Gemmel's Rigante and Drenai.

Also Cook's Black Company world and Martin's Game of Thrones world both of which should be relatively easy to bring to 5E. I also want Dragonlance.

Also Bakker's Second Apocalypse Series world would be cool as well.

I never understood all the Black Company love. Sure, they're good books, but for a really inventive world by Glen Cook I'll take Garrett and Tun-Faire any day. So Garret gets my vote.

I'd like to see Dragonlance, if they can do it without yet another cataclysm or whatever. I'm sure Weis & Hickman are still bound to novelize whatever silliness Wizards dreams up, but I could live without it.

You could count me in for Midkemia, too.

And speaking of Weis & Hickman, if I'd be in for a Rose of the Prophet setting, though it might cause some issues with the standard D&D genies and angels.

The world from Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince series would work well, too, I think, though the magic system would have to be overhauled.

I'd like to see a less silly version of Spell Jammers.

It would be a bit tricky because it's not a really good match for 5e, but I would love love love to see the world of "Sunless Sea" made into an RPG....

Delicious Friend, you are not alone in this. I had always thought the World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness would be quite apt for running a game in Fallen London.



But for 5E, I'd honestly like to see an Adventures In Tamriel: lots of races, lots of lore, lots of variance in how things work. Granted, it's not Vancian Magic but I think DMG had like Mana Points or something like that. Throw in a lot of fun and unique takes on typical fantasy lore and that would be a pretty great setting to go traipsing through with my friends.

In a game I actually want to play, that is.
