[QUOTE="Ibrandul, post: 7416019, member: 6871736"] I wholeheartedly agree. As an example, I'm currently DMing "Tyranny of Dragons" and there's a castle that features as a major location in the campaign (Castle Naerytar). I was just browsing through old magazines a few weeks ago, and it turns out that castle, as described in the 5e campaign book, originated in an obscure series of four Dungeon magazine adventures from 20 years ago -- and the castle's backstory in the 5e campaign book (set 120 years after the magazine adventures) explains what happened to the castle after those original adventures, in a totally believable way but without directly citing the earlier material. Those of us who love the official lore and wish there were more of it forthcoming in the 5e era can console ourselves with the (mostly) very faithful, "deep-cut" approach to lore each 5e product has taken. Most of the supposed lore inconsistencies are, I find, actually well-explained within the material. For another example, again citing "Tyranny of Dragons," I've seen several complaints that the Cult of the Dragon isn't true to its Realmslore roots; but it is explained in the book that the Cult has recently become overtaken from within by the Church of Tiamat, and this is an important element of the Cult's current state (internal conflicts between old guard and new guard members), that a DM who cares about such things can take advantage of but other DMs can ignore.
