[QUOTE="Sitara, post: 6382119, member: 58107"] I wish WOTC would hold another setting search! It may be 'gimmicky' but it sure was exciting. I still remember the competition, and reading the initial announcement on the old Wizards site back in 2001 I think. They don't even have to give a reward of $100,000, just go for a much smaller one even and make the setting PDF only to save massively on costs. Fact is, it will still get the community involved, get a huge number of entries (though this can be cut by requiring bigger entries of many pages instead of just one page if they don't have time or staff to read 11,000 entries anymore) and generate a lot of publicity and excitement. Especially considering the internet was still in it's infancy in those heady days, today a search like this will be a different and even more fun story entirely. Honestly, instead of producing sub par adventures set in high fantasy forgotten realms or 'encounters' which too are basically hack and slash, I would rpefer somethign that gets the communities juices flowing and generates that heady excitement again. D&D5e is fantastic, I love it. But I want more people to be involved, and I want more unique and special things for it such as settings or campaigns (in fact, a campaign search instead of a setting search, or a super adventure search, could be even better) Oh and apologies for the necro again. :P I think I will make it a tradition to necro this thread with every new edition released. :D (please don't ban me [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] :( ) [/QUOTE]
