D&D 4E Would you buy and play a new campaign setting for 4e?

Campaign settings don't sell, whether they're good or bad, unless they have a BIG name on them.

Believe me, I've tried.

The RPG market has changed from "imagination" to "branding" even more than the Coca-Cola dominated soda market, IMO. People will buy anything if it has a "big name" on it. If it doesn't, they're so contemptuous that they won't even look at it for free.

Nothing to do really with the rpg world specially, sadly...

Now, you forget to say that still, new settings can have a success. Like Eberron.

I doubt it - the setting would have to be very cool to me - and frankly, that would not sell to a larger audience.

Who are the larger audience?

I thought those who run homebrewed settings are the smallest audience, with the exception of casual gaming.
