Which campaign setting(s) should be supported?

[TwinBahamut]

Eberron, a new Oriental Adventures (don't care about Kara-Tur either way, but no Rokugan), and Other are my votes. Specifically, I would like to see a new setting or two, perhaps the other setting search finalists.

Iron Kingdoms!

Honestly, I'm a little bit over settings. I don't care. I guess of the crop listed, Eberron is the only one that I care about, and from a marketing perspective, I think FR should be re-polished with a 4e brush. I don't care about any of the others.

Eberron, Greyhawk and the two setting search finalists they're sitting on.

Dark Sun

Eberron

Forgotten Realms

Al-Qadim (as part of FR)
Kara-Tur (as part of FR)​

Mystara

Ravenloft

Other: SPELLJAMMER

Other 'others:' Ghostwalk and Urban Arcana.

EDIT: I'd rather see Dragonlance done the same way it was in 3e, as a 3rd party setting.

 

[Doug McCrae]

Supported like FR and Eberron was supported in 3e

In that case I'd need to change my vote to 'none'. I'd prefer to see the same resources spread out among three or four settings.

Agreed.

Actually, I'd much prefer one-book or limited-line (ala NWoD) to be the standard for settings.

I'd definitely agree. I'm much more likely to check something out if I knew I only had to buy a couple of books to get everything.

I'm not sure if I posted this here or on another forum. I want to see support for a lot of settings, old and new, but I want it in large one-off setting books with minimal (maybe even none) additional setting books. If they pump the page count to as high as it'll go and still be profitable, and keep the book on focus, they could certainly cover the basics of a setting. Let the PHB, DMG, and MM lines cover some of the more campaign-portable rules in the setting-neutral method they were designed for. Do little write-ups for DDI, via Dragon, that offer more detail about areas of interest. Do some setting-specific adventures/campaigns in Dungeon.

I don't have the money to collect a setting that has a continual stream of products AND collect the general product line, but if a series of books offering one of these setting bibles a year, were introduced... I'd have a hard time resisting the temptation to impulse-buy them and have another available setting in my library.

In that case Eberron. I don't like the realms, and I think the other settings would be better served by a One book or limited Line model.

FR : standard vanilla fantasy
Eberron : last new setting
Dark Sun : mad max dark D&D
Planescape : high level planar adventures
Other : the 4e setting, maybe the infamous "point of light" one, mixed with one of the two other finalist of the setting research.
