Burn at Both Ends
Chapter: Season Three
Draw a burning wicker Elminster? I’m crossing that off of my art bucket list.
At DDXP, Wizards of the Coast announced another slew of Forgotten Realms products for the year and that does not surprise me. FR and Eberron have been their goto campaign settings for years now. If they sell and bring people into gaming, more power to them.
I like both settings but I am a Greyhawk guy. Word is floating around that WotC may kick a little love over the The Flaeness sometime in the near future (or possibly with the next edition of D&D). Either way, I would be a happy man to see it happen.

I would be a happy men if they just released their existing product in PDF form or Kickstarter or you know, made it free online and bombed us with crappy banners about their new products. WoTC != Marketing Genius
There was indeed some mention of Greyhawk, and that’s not counting Greyhawk-based stuff like my Vegepygmy article (announced for April). Have you drawn a vegepygmy yet, Brian? 🙂
I’d say that even Eberron is a redheaded stepchild in comparison to Forgotten Realms. It does get more support than anything other than Forgotten Realms, but that’s really not saying much. So many great D&D settings that could use some love, but no, they’re going to crap out more Forgotten Realms.
Actually, if they intend to give Greyhawk the same treatment that was given to FR, then I fear for my beloved setting…
Yeah, the last commenters got that right. Eberron got its books and 1 published adventure to start off 4E and has been ignored completely since.
While I would love seeing Greyhawk material, it’s become more of a map to put my own ideas into rather than a setting where I’m relying on much published material.
It should be no secret what campaign setting I’d prefer to see. In the interest of helping all of us who like red-headed step-children campaign settings, I will add the following:
MORE GREYHAWK!
I worship at the Altar of Elminster and pray at the First Church of Drizzt on a weekly basis!! But what little I have played of Greyhawk I can honestly say I liked and would do it again! If only I could find a local DM who would do it justice…
I started my D&Ding in the Forgotten Realms, but Greyhawk was fun too. To be perfectly honest though, I would maim you all for some new Planescape stuff.
Everyone knows Dragonlance is the red-headed step-child. No matter what gets published in the next few years, I think I’m going back to Krynn.
*sits all alone in the corner, waving a tiny little “Dark Sun” flag, crying and eating cake*
You eat that sand cake and you like it! EAT IT ALL!!!
*sniff* Yes, sir! *snarf* I think I got chitin in my teeth.
Going back thru the d20monkey archives… I wave my flag with you. When dark sun was goming back i described it as “if sanda clause came back to life” and the game store owner said he’d never seen someone rocking back and fourth on his floor craddling a new game book. But yes i did. Dark sun is my home, where my father raised me. Go sand cake, im sure its drenched in kank honey…
I have to say, I’d like to see some support for anything but FR. I’m not anti, I’m just… burnt out.
All of y’all talking about Eberron or Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk need to step back. I ain’t had no new Mystara material since 2nd Edition.
