Which series would you like to see resurrected in the form of new novel releases?

Poor Greyhawk with zero votes. I admit i was never really interested in this novel line either. Though, i would have loved to have seen a story about Vecna written.

I have heard that the old Rose Estes Greyhawk books were pretty enjoyable. I'll get around to them someday



I've heard the opposite, that they are worse than Once Around the Realms



I liked them back in the day, but looking back, I don't think I'd like them know. Especially the part about polymorphing into a wolf, mating with another wolf, and then having werewolf babies.

Planescape! Sigil and the planes provide so many great story options...

Put like this, I have to agree. Some things are best left in pristine condition.

Id like a resurrection of the metacampaign where you could be traipsing around in Oerth one day and be back in the Realms the next. Planescape (and to a lesser extent Spelljammer) did this better than any so that's where my vote goes. Long live the Great Wheel.
Ayrik Posted - 31 Aug 2011 : 11:25:35
I'm really quite fond of several of the settings mentioned here, as well as several more which were not.

But I would personally prefer to see D&D authors keep a strong focus on the Realms instead of dispersing their attention and invention across multiple worlds.

Agreed on all counts.

I say Ravenloft, but I feel that many authors are incapable of delivering a good, solid story in the Gothic tradition these days. Just my take on matters, is all.

The DARK SUN setting has been resurrected twice, actually. Once, back in 2004 during a combination 3e/3.5e update in both DRAGON and DUNGEON Magazines, and then again with the 4e Campaign Setting and Creature Catalog.


Did they release a new Dark Sun novel in 2004? I thought City Under the Sun by Jeff Mariotte, which was released last year, was the first novel launched after the novel line ended last 1996 with Lynn Abbey's The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King.

There wasn't any new novel line for DS with the 3e update in 2004. The DRAGON and DUNGEON combination updates were simply a mini-campaign supplying DMs with updated 3e info on most of the core elements of the DARK SUN campaign setting.

There was talk, though, as I recall, of including new DS fiction in DRAGON Magazine at the time. I don't remember much coming from that, though.

Although I was never a player of the setting, I voted for Planescape. I loved the trove of lore and reference it often. I would love to find a 3.5/PF Planescape game

Planescape, if the story happens in Sigil. Birthright if it involves the Shadow World. Don't care for the other worlds.
Old Man Harpell Posted - 30 Aug 2011 : 18:36:02
I chose Birthright. Its the only setting (apart from the Realms) that I felt had enough background and detail to warrant getting all the publications produced for it, novels included (granted, not difficult, as there were but a handful published).

I like all the possible poll choices, however. Were I to be offered a place at someone's gaming table or e-mail list, I would readily play in any of them.

Ravenloft is a great setting with great stories !!!
Artemas Entreri Posted - 30 Aug 2011 : 15:38:23
Loved the Ravenloft books, loved the Dark Sun books, and i thought Birthright had some potential too. Actually i think there was 1 new Dark Sun book released fairly recently...just haven't picked it up yet.
