[QUOTE="Essafah, post: 7897579, member: 16472"] I don't think WOTC should release Dark Sun unless psionics rules are official, preferably as a separate system of magic versus being a subsystem as they are in the UA rules. 5E is the longest any edition of D&D has been out without official psionics rules. The overly slow production schedule is another reason why I would like to see Wizards outsource licensing but on this point I will digress and return to the overarching point of campaign world releases particular of classic settings many if which would be new to the current generation of D&D gamers just like Eberron is. Besides Dark Sun the D&D brand has plenty of campaign worlds that are distinctive enough from generic fantasy yet incorporate the entirety of D&D rules two that I would look at are: Ravenloft:. Gothic horror is appealing across generations and is a very distinct feel from standard FR style high fantasy D&D. Wotc could easily update the Domains of Dread and include new rules for horror in D&D if needed (the DMG already has some options). They could also include new races like Vistani as a variant human, etc. Planescape:. The DMG goes into some detail on the planes. So an updated Planescape setting detailing Sigil and adding few planar related feats plus a race or two would be easy enough to do. The setting is very distinct yet all the rules and classes in the PHB and classes from other sources like the artificer and Bloodhunter fit right it. It also makes sense from any race of any source from FR to Wildemounte to Eberron and Ravnica to be present in the setting. I would include Spelljammer as prime for release also but I think WOTC needs to releases a few more worlds to give people the option to travel to. Also if WOTC intends to keep FR as their flagship or default world that is fine but I think if that is the case the world deserves better than the SCAG and should get the same treatment other worlds got and that should not be too hard for WOTC to do.
