[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7952606, member: 6704184"] 4e Realms was a mistake. It contributed to Baker losing his job on D&D , I’m sure. But it’s kinda like that quote from Firefly, when someone tells Mal he was on thewrong side of the war, and he says, “Losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong side.” The Realms were alive and well. Better than ever, I’d go so far as to say. They just also pissed people off, and came packaged with a divisive edition of the game. Divisive ain’t good, even if it makes money. 4e, and the 4e realms, made money. And a lot of folks loved them. I don’t remember the peak active sub numbers for ddi, but they were really high for any time before right now or the classic popularity peak. But divisive ain’t good. no matter what the profits are, they’d be higher without the division. Thus? 5e and the sundering. The Heroic Chronicle translates to other settings pretty easily, and mixes well with the Xanathar’s “This is Your Life” tables. My wife and I made characters that way, and it was a lot of fun. I’m already using a lot of the flavor of regions to expand on regions in other settings, like using some of the stuff for the Menagerie Coast for Cyre and Talenta in Eberron, and using parts of the empire for Aundair and Breland. The food, for instance. Although, my Talenta halflings already have a mix of North African, Latin American, and South Asian, cuisine. But adding some Menagerie Coast flair to both that and Cyre makes a fun dynamic where a lot of Cyre’s material culture comes from the Plains Halflings, while a lot of their philosophy is more recognize-ably Galifaran.
