[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 2261326, member: 5100"] D&D has three settings they can support, Greyhawk, FR, and Eberron. Granted, the first one is sparse, but there's still a lot to do on all of them. Plus, they've still got tons of stuff to mine for "new" ideas. So, assuming your IP = the good, I don't see a problem. At least let Eberron mature before you start looking for pieces of the sky. The other point you made, that D&D has become "a player's toy", is actually a positive. That's probably exactly where they want to be. If it's a player toy, that means the players are buying books to play with. Ultimately, though, I don't know that the non-mechanical IP is universally the most valuable part of a game. Shadowrun, Paranoia, and WoD are the only games I've ever enjoyed for the setting. Every other game I've chosen to play more than once over the last two+ decades has been for the system. I prefer to homebrew, as do a lot of D&D players. I'd actually stop buying D&D if they married the system to a setting -- even one I liked. I'd just move to Hero and continue homebrewing. [/QUOTE]
