In the event that the work game does reset and I end up running something homebrew (and I'm not sure about either - my estimate keeps shifting), I think the theme for that new campaign will be, simply, 'loss'. Each of the players will be asked to define something that the character has lost, and indicate also how they feel about it. (Obviously, it does need to be something that the character cares about - though it could well be something that the character is glad to have lost.)
In terms of adventures, of course, the emphasis will very much be on lost worlds and lost peoples, and also on things like the end of empire, lost wealth and prestige, and the like. And, of course, the BBEG will be driven by an obsession to recover something that he lost but that can never be sensibly restored...
If it does indeed happen, the game will take place in the Forgotten Realms, that being effectively the default setting for 5th edition. I'm leaning towards using Icewind Dale as my core setting, allowing me to make use of all the lovely material in the "Frostburn" book, though I'm somewhat torn on that one - I've done a fair amount in frozen wastes, so maybe I need a change?
