[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9100897, member: 1788"] Chatter I see here and on Twitter and other social media. Most seem to enjoy homebrew. Not to mention the adventures are all fairly generic and "can be played anywhere". Heck I see how chatter from Critters about Mercer's world than I do Faerun, and I don't really even follow Crit Role. I am well aware Faerun is still a popular setting but it's mostly Drizzt and Baldurs Gate keeping that stuff alive. The "Yutes" mostly don't seem to care. I'm sure the Olds like me will keep the old settings alive for as long as possible. Not to mention that WotC already does the bare minimum for any setting. And they've already had to bend over backwards to try to get rid of a lot of troublesome baggage in EVERY setting. Male Solomnic Knights in DL don't even have mustaches. I'm honestly surprised WotC hasn't pulled a 4th ed and just kicked Faerun ahead another hundred years or more to get a more clean slate. I have some DC comics level "wiping the slate clean" start over event. At some point the baggage and bending over backwards stuff will outweight the need to just start with something fresh. No bothersome lore. No bothersome baggage. No bothersome out dated fantasy tropes. Just a fresh canvas devoid of anything people might find "worrisome". I think they really missed an opportunity to buy Mercer's world (with him lead designer etc) and run that as THE flagship setting. But that ship has long since sailed. And they can fit their new amazing world "Generica" into the planerverse they are creating so hey Krynn and Faerun and Greyhawk etc are right over there one Starjammer away but they would no longer be the focus and at most get a footnote in the PHB.
