[QUOTE="vecna00, post: 8307764, member: 23630"] It took two days, but I finally got through all 26 pages of this thread! And I have some thoughts. I'm very happy to see the progress that's being made on the classic settings being brought back. My money is on the remaining top tier settings of Dark Sun and Planescape. I know Dark Sun will need an actual psionic class (or I at least hope the designers see it that way also) and that can take some time, but I think it's doable if a group is focused on it.

With the way two ships have shown up in adventures, I think it is highly possible for Spelljammer, but I think Planescape just beats it. We're talking 55% Planescape/45% Spelljammer. As far as the setting that's being revisited, I'm fairly certain it'll be the Forgotten Realms. As much as I don't use it, I think they're finally going to put out a new big book on it.
