The Rumor on the street is that Greyhawk will be the default setting again.
Mostly this rumor is caused by me going around saying that with no proof or any clue other than one rumor that keeps getting repeated by me.
Just saying.

I hope not.
I hope there is no "default setting". Just a book of tools that will allow me to create my own setting. If I want a designed setting... then I'll pursue it.

Hopefully they will support what ever will sell. I for one think all settings should get a nod if possible. Then I can take what I want and leave the res,t as I continue to build my own setting.

I've never played Greyhawk, but I'd like to see it comeback, so that I can. I'd be willing to play Original Edition or 1st, or 2nd or AD&D or whatever if someone in my group wanted to run the setting.

The core game should include absolutely zero setting material. It's extraneous material that discourages buy-in. Put it in an appendix or a separate book.

I would like to see Greyhawk, FR, Dark Sun, and Plane Scape settings. No default setting, Gygax was against that, he didn't even want to publish Greyhawk, his own personal system.

I think that if there is an "implied setting" it should be Greyhawk. However, it'd also be good to have no implied setting. I do want a sort of micro-setting in the DMG or equivalent, like the Nentir Vale. It should have a hex map. I'd really like to see some setting material for Greyhawk in 5e. Blackmoor as well, because I'm perhaps even more of a fan of Blackmoor. In fact it's be pretty easy to use Blackmoor as the setting in the DMG, because it's relatively small. Bonus points if we get a converted version of Temple of the Frog.

I can't really tell the differences between most settings, except for maybe ebberon and definitely Dark Sun.

Then I would wager you haven't read a great deal on, or campaigned in, Greyhawk, Blackmoor, Krynn or Forgotten Realms. Each is a 'classic' setting, but with a library of source material. It requires work to understand the differences.
