[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7527722, member: 6779196"] Let me rephrase that. I expect that if there ever was an official Nentir Vale product made for 5e, that Mike Mearls would have a lot of input into it given his role at WotC, and what I have seen of his treatment of Nentir Vale in his home campaign, I have no confidence in his ability to produce a Nentir Vale product that I would like. In fact, I would prefer they not make such a product. Which, again, is a frustrating way to feel about my favorite setting. We hadn't seen any setting guides at all until Eberron and Ravnica. Now setting guides are a thing that's on the table, and they've been pretty publicly promoting the fact that they're making such products, since they've been so heavily requested. Umm. Gnolls? Minotaurs? Shardminds? Wilden? Bladelings? Warlords? Invokers? Runepriests? I disagree with your assessment that being a simple skeleton is the "whole point of the setting." There's actually a great deal of rich and detailed lore to the setting, and granted, that lore being largely implied rather than directly stated is a feature to many of the settings fans, myself included, but that doesn't mean a setting guide for it wouldn't be desirable or couldn't be done in a way that satisfied fans who prefer its more indirect approach. But suddenly there will be 5e-ready material for (the butchered version of) the setting, that wouldn't require a bunch of additional work to convert to 5e, creating expectations in the minds of players interested in playing a 5e campaign set in Nentir Vale. You may not care about setting books. Good for you. Not everyone feels the same way about them that you do. Ok? All I said was that I have mixed feelings about the idea of the stream. That I like the idea of a stream set in my favorite D&D setting, and dislike the changes Mearls has made to the setting for the campaign. I'm not crapping on the idea, I'm not shaming anyone who likes it, I'm not harrassing Mike Mearls, I'm not trying to stir up a hate mob. Literally, I just expressed that I don't like a thing, and I'm getting told I'm wrong for feeling that way and to shut up and keep my opinion to myself. I intend to. I also intend to continue expressing my feelings about things I'm passionate about, of which this is one. [/QUOTE]
