You are in charge of what WOTC puts out for DnD.

Dead horse? Yeah, I can beat that.

So, on that note, what Giygasfan said.

No really, what they said. Consider that semi-officially added to The List According To Me.

A gorram DDM set with gnomes.

*thanks Hussar again* And yeah so I beat a dead horse. It's not like people around here don't do that with other settings and stuff.

At least you don't post "Scarred Lands is the One True Fantasy Setting; all others are pale imitations of the real thing" in every thread!

Nell, It's most certainly isn't me.

And no I don't post that since it is a matter of preference. I will say I think SL is better than some d20 settings, but that is my opinion. It is far from the One true Fantasy setting. It is, however, my one true setting.

[W]hy would or should WotC publish any previously published setting?

Because it takes much less time (i.e., money) to revamp a previously published setting than to create new product, and because there is much less uncertainty about whether it will sell or not (since it clearly worked before).

For the most part it only plays into nostaliga, and while nostalgia can keep a company afloat in this case its not going advance the company.

I never played 2E, I never owned any Dark Sun or Dragonlance materials, etc., and I'd happily buy the best settings and adventures from that time period, updated to a newer edition.

Of course, I'd want to buy them as compiled hardbacks, with the best bits brought together, not spread out over dozens of products.
