[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2857139, member: 22779"] Y'know what, just to spark a bit of convo here, I'm going to buck the trend. If I was in control of WOTC, earlier campaign settings would die. I'm sorry, but, I'd dump them in the crapper. All the mass of 2e campaign settings like Darksun, Ravenloft, etc, would be licensed out if anyone wanted to do them, or left to rot. There are more than enough original ideas out there for settings without dredging up old stuff and then trying to shoehorn them into new mechanics. Let someone else do the work if they want, but, WOTC should be looking forward, not dredging up history. Eberron is a breath of fresh air after so many clone worlds that varied only slightly. Focus on something that isn't going to be a massive headache as people bitch and whine about how I'm changing canon. Look at all the complaints about the Planar Handbook from the Planescape crowd. The old campaign settings are dead, let them rest in peace. [/QUOTE]
