[QUOTE="lyle.spade, post: 7656323, member: 30042"] Well said, Dire Bear. Those settings you mentioned are all pretty generic Western Europe-based fantasy worlds. Let's accept that and move along. Eberron is quite different, and even it doesn't escape m'lords and m'ladies and whatnot. I've never played Spelljammer, Dark Sun, or Ravenloft - and yet those seem to me to be the most unique and original worlds out there (that were official for DnD at some point). I am actually very happy with the idea of taking some of the old 1e modules I have and converting them to 5e...in whatever world I decide to use, or perhaps my own. WOTC needs to make smart business decisions in terms of what books to produce, and so we're not going to get the wide shot patterns that we experienced way back when...it's not going to happen, and that's a good thing if we want the hobby through its flagship brand and company to prosper. WOTC will likely be conservative in what they produce and how much, and that's just good business sense for them. In the meantime I'll buy probably most of what they put out and will use it in whatever way I choose. Remember: the WOTC police are not going to come and get you if you hack their modules. [/QUOTE]
