For all intents and purposes it was the default setting...

Greyhawk was total horsecrap.

The Greyhawk 1e hardback has the best set of spells in D&D.

Quote from: danbuter;503890I love the idea of Forgotten Realms as the main setting. Honestly, it should be the ONLY setting. Publishing multiple settings does not work, as seen by TSR. Different eras is a really cool idea. If they are smart, the first book will be around the time right after 3e, before the spellplague. That would bring back a lot of people.

I can't agree with that TSR sold a lot of product round Dark Sun, SpellJammer, GreyHawk, FR, Mystera, then if you add 3rd party settings ...

As I have been posting about the place on the 5e threads multiple settings has been an excellent model for MtG. it also means you can create creatures classes and powers that use different mechanics and they stay consistent.
One of the real strengths of MtG (and I have to say one of the reasons why a lot of people hate it as well...) is that the current set is always in motion. They release a new setting every year, or they revisit a setting. Each setting has a different feel with different mechanical elements creatures spells etc.
Personally I would use the MtG settings and release D&D settings for them. That might be a step too far for some D&D players but its all optional and the DDI has all the content in it anyway and the MtG settings do something unique they shake up the game. From a business perspective it's just too tempting. You already have the background concepts, you already have races, classes, spells, creatures, geography and artwork, really good artwork. In addition there are fanatical MtG players who will buy the setting books just for the fluff and for the collection. You might also find D&D players buying Mtg cards but that is less critical as that business is already making $$$. Those Mtg players well some of them used to be RPGers and some of them never were but they are gamers so they have to be a fertile demographic right ?
