I'd rather see a fantasy world that got a reasonable distance away from D&D, one with its own character. Glorantha was a little too strange and convoluted, but maybe something with its own distinct flavor ... or maybe a neglected sub-genre, like:
- Sword and sorcery (admittedly already handled by Conan)
- Non-european fantasy (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Arabian Nights, Ancient Greek, Indian, African, Central/South American)
- Modern or historical fantasy (e.g. Mythago Wood, Neverwhere, the Lord Darcy series, nearly everything by Tim Powers)
- Pre-Tolkien fantasy literature (e.g. Oz, Gormengast, the worlds of Lord Dunsany)
I just get tired of pseudo-medieval Europe with elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.
