Indeed, I see your point. However I don't really want to see the new line of "reloaded" settings. Dragonlance with POL! Etc. I'd rather see them keep each setting's flavor similar but enhanced. If the POL idea works for that, great! If it doesn't, then keep your peanut butter out of my chocolate.

I agree, hence the reason I wrote my own settings and got them published. I am aware of fact that DMs have their own settings so the four lands in my Points of Light avoid the "know-it-all" and "run-as-written" problems of similar products.

As far as wizard goes, the radical alteration in beloved campaign settings is an opportunity for the rest of us.

Points of light takes D&D back to its roots. Blackmoor, City State of the Invincible Overlord, Tegel Manor, and even Greyhawk fit the description.

It does, and that's great. Roots are fine, but I've grown since 1e and I need my D&D to grow, too. I want my system to be able to encompass multitudes, like Walt Whitman...

Yes if you literally read the description it fits a specific world. But if you take its spirit then the concept is a lot more expansive.

Funnily enough there is one published game world that fits 4Es POL paradigm almost perfectly...

Not any more

Goodman Games has a product called... Points of Light.

Now there are four more settings. Admittedly a bit smaller than the Wilderlands.
