You really tend to make a lot of sense, at least sometimes <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />.I think you make a good point re: PS/SJ, but I'm going to be willfully optimistic and say that WotC will (hopefully) bypass any reticence and go in on it. I mean, they already kind of did it with 4E, with the Astral Sea. That said, if and when they do the planes, I think they need to approach it a bit differently than the other settings - not just a one-and-done, but a "Year of the Planes." A dedicated setting/adventure hybrid book to Sigil and the Outlands; a Manual of the Planes book; and a big story arc involving githyanki trying to conquer everything involving all kinds of spelljammer battles (or some such).Alternately they can split up PS and SJ and do two books for PS (one setting/rules, the other adventure) and one book for SJ, which includes ways to integrate it with PS and Sigil.I agree re: Dark Sun - it brings a lot to the table that isn't already on there, as I've been saying. It is kind of like the pecan pie of Thanksgiving dinner: not everyone likes it, but it stands out as relatively unique and different, and those that like it, love it.You express my ambivalence about whether or not they'll do DL and GH. I go back and forth about DL. On one hand, I hear everything you're saying. On the other, the Chronicles are probably the most successful big D&D story, unless you count the various adventures of Super Drow, and I think would translate well to any era, given the scope, characters, and "vanilla but with a touch of cardamon" nature of the setting.Another possibility with GH is that they fold it into a commemorative 50th anniversary product, something similar in size and scope to Art and Arcana, but focused on the origins and history of D&D, with an overview of the various worlds, and an in-depth look into Greyhawk and Blackmoor as the D&D ur-settings. Basically a 50 Years of Dungeons & Dragons book.</blockquote>
