[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3040184, member: 4134"] I voted GreyHawk - provided they keep the current scheme going. I like how it is now: They use a pretty vanilla setting (Greyhawk, without any funky stuff), and only use a wee bit of it - just enough to have examples for everything. No way. It would stop to be D&D. Eberron might be a great setting for some people, but it sure as hell isn't for everyone. It has too much stuff that isn't normal. Warforged, Magical Trains, all that. I wish them all luck with the setting, but it better remain optional. I don't. The core races are fine as they are (minus that half-orc, maybe). FR gets something like that around Cormyr. Mysteries of the Moonsea is a campaign arc, and City of the Spider Queen isn't exactly small. That's the point. It would be different. The standard setting is not supposed to be different. It's supposed to be as vanilla as it can get. It sets the baseline. Optional campaign settings can be as funky as a bad LSD trip, with magical spaceships, living land that both punishes and rewards evil deeds, robots that are alive, running luggage, drugged-up children that think they're angels and whathaveyou. I don't. they've been pushing Eberron pretty hard. I fear it will be around for a while (but I don't mind, as long as they don't force us to use that crap. [/QUOTE]
