[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3041347, member: 22424"] I like the current arrangement, which I consider more Greyhawk Lite than any 'true' version of the setting. I therefore voted Greyhawk, although I would hate to see it become more pervasive in the core rulebooks. (If, however, they were to do a good setting book for it, in the style of the FRCS, that would be nice.) I would be very surprised if that were the case. I don't know how many more times WotC can sell us the 'core' Realms again, and the non-core parts of the setting have markedly less popularity than the core. I wouldn't be surprised if FR doesn't disappear as a supported RPG setting with the next edition. It'll continue being supported in novels and computer games, of course, but there may well not be a market for a new FRCS and supplements. Whether Eberron is promoted to become the 'deluxe' setting is an open question. I don't know how successful it has been for WotC. However, if it has not been successful enough then they really need to start developing a new setting, either to take its place, or to take the place of FR in the new edition. Because I think D&D does need some sort of setting support, and I think FR is about done. If Eberron isn't strong enough to go forward with then they need to start thinking about where they go from here. (And, in fact, I think they need to be developing a new setting in any case.
