Alright, I’ll buy that.Well, it......and 5e's all about the back harkening.

t does seem BECMI. Mearls said that Asmodeus was a former mortal, Todd expressed surprise, and Mearls said that basically all of the powers that be are former mortals in the current background set-up for D&D.
Seems more like he's trying to make his fan fiction canon.Why not? There is support for it in the game's rules and history.
Mearls is a Defier confirmed. Now we just have to figure out the factions of the rest of the staff......Why, though?
IDK why it keeps getting brought up as such: it's a small, generic locale that could be dropped into any setting, the default setting it's in, being a nameless generic setting, itself. It gets called "Nerath" or "Nentir Vale" or "PoLland" or "The Dawn War setting," and someone off-handedly tossed out an official proper noun at some point, but it's just not a developed, detailed setting, /at all/.Have to say Nentir Vale is one of my least favorite settings (possibly the worst IMO). There's not a lot in it I find truly original (beyond it's modules, which can be used in any generic setting too). The big draws to it is that it's a sandbox, which if I want a sandbox I'll make my own. And the survival element, but I find other settings (or pockets of settings) do it better like Dark Sun or Chult.
There is a skeletal setting .... beyond that generic locale. .We can feel its bones in feats and paragon paths and backgrounds and god descriptions and the like in 4e.Yet, ironically, there are those how love it, or hate it, as a setting. ::
Nod. It really reminds me of the glimpses we had of the settings - Greyhawk & Blackmoor, mostly - in early D&D. The difference being that, this time around, there was nothing there beyond the glimpses.There is a skeletal setting .... beyond that generic locale. .We can feel its bones in feats and paragon paths and backgrounds and god descriptions and the like in 4e.
Course I never saw more than that glimpse back when either. ... whether Blackmoor had more or notNod. It really reminds me of the glimpses we had of the settings - Greyhawk & Blackmoor, mostly - in early D&D. The difference being that, this time around, there was nothing there beyond the glimpses.
