[QUOTE="OblivionDrive, post: 8307037, member: 7020101"] And I don’t think the setting just “didn’t work good” because it was a bad/unworthy concept. I think it was “wrong time, wrong place” more than anything, though I agree it needed better advocates and stewardship. But when they’re already saying they’re going to bring back older settings, I’d much rather see SJ get a second at-bat than Greyhawk or Dragonlance getting a third, fourth, whatever. And there are only so many classic settings to go to, if you don’t count mini-settings like Ghostwalk or Jakandor or the like. So the potential pool is only so deep.
