[QUOTE="vandaexpress, post: 7687225, member: 6790472"] Sometimes I wonder if they overestimate the Forgotten Realms brand equity - I appreciated the breakdown of the campaign setting usage, but I think you're going to see a lot of bias in those numbers. I don't run Dark Sun because I have no official 5E Dark Sun materials, not because I have no interest in running it. I'm sure they recognize this, though. My thoughts are just that I spend a fair amount of time recruiting "non-standard" players into my games and there is no faster way to overwhelm them than by introducing them to the realms, hah. I do appreciate them keeping the focus on the Sword Coast to minimize the confusion, but the Forgotten Realms is so overwhelmingly detailed that I might go so far as to say that it's a little bit at odds with recruiting new players. I'm not sure how many players come to D&D after reading Drizzt books though, or after being exposed to some other aspect of the "transmedia" experience; I can only speak from my personal experiences. Very excited by the hints of the next campaigns. Appreciate them recognizing that most people don't finish the campaigns as quickly as they may have modeled initially. [/QUOTE]
