D&D 4E Which old setting would you like to see revamped for 4E?

[kennew142]

Despite the talk about Kara-Tur, I actually voted for Darksun - my favorite AD&D setting.

 

[WyzardWhately]

Agreed. Telekinetic jellyfish for the win. They had supposedly worked more on the Vault sourcebook, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll at least see a pdf release.

Bastion really could have used some better playtesters though.

I did like that book. The inclusion of in-setting recipes was a nice touch - I'd like to see more immersive stuff like that.

Spelljammer for me, please. Because I need giff with guns, Nautiloids, Giant Space Hamsters, and Neogi riding Umberhulk Slaves
.

Hell yeah! Woot! EAT GIIFF GUNS, NEOGI SPAWN!
That's my #1 vote

So a new Dark Sun, starting over at the beginning, not coming from the terrible second version, but straight from the original, pre-dating even the original adventure. Again, bringing back Brom or at least someone with a similar intense style would be a must. Obviously this could wait until 4E had some decent Psionics rules in place.

Totally agreed! get's my second vote

Well, since I do Dark Sun and Spelljammer art, it's kind of obvious which I'd pick hehe!

I'm going to do a bit of a threadcrap here and say "None, including Forgotten Realms and Eberron".

Do new settings for the new edition. Some will be good, some won't be, but hey, that's Sturgeon's Law. And when 5th edition comes round, say goodbye to the 4e settings, and hello to the new.

 

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

Well, I'd like new settings too, but...

I really think I'd like to see more of the 'Adventures' style genre books than they had in 3E.

So I voted for Al-Quadim. The Arabian Nights are maybe the most actually medieval we get in traditional pulp style adventuring and I'd love to see them redone.

To give Maztica it's due I think we really need a pre-Columbian 'Obsidean Age' Adventure book too, I just think Maztica was a poor attempt to do it.

Way more poor anthropology textbook than actual fantasy setting.

 

[resistor]

I desperately want a Planescape 4e, but I know it won't happen.

 

[Steely Dan]

Mythic Japan ala Kamigawa with heavy anime influences.

If only they could do with Maztica for Central/South America as fantasy setting, what Kamigawa did with Japan as a fantasy setting.

 

[Steely Dan]

where Mystara is just... meh with a capital M. To me, at least. It's ultra-bland, ultra-dull

This is how I feel about Birthright.

The Mysterious Cities of Gold shown me how awesome Maztica can be.

 

[Plane Sailing]

I'd like to see a revamp of Birthright, mostly because it was trying to do something very different to the traditional adventure setting, and as such opens up some interesting design space possibilities.
