Oh absolutely. I could maybe see a second setting book set in the region around the Inner Sea, or something, but nothing like Szass Tam’s Census of Thay or whatever. Five people would buy it, and three of them only because they buy everything FR.No disagreement here. Bit that reality being different than 1993 foes a long way towards explaining WotC product development choices.
SCAG covers a full quarter of the 1E Grey Box and 2E box set maps. Eventually, they may move on to another area, but there is no need to be hasty.
Another way if looking at it is "it's only been 9 years to cover an area larger than Europe," because the broader sword Coast they've been working on is larger than Europe. And the game isn't going anywhere, plenty of time to get around more.A full quarter of the tiny first product for FR the predates everything else, that is not impressive, it's bare minimum.
And the SCAG was published in 2015, I've seen glacier move faster, by 2024 it'll be 9 years old!
I do think they will transition slightly away from the Sword Coast towards the Eastern Heartlands and mayhe the Inner Sea writ large: there isn't a lot if room left in the Sword Coast area for big Adventures.Oh absolutely.

And they’ve made it clear that they can and will use people from the entire FR in The Sword Coast, and only venture outside it for adventures that still have some tie to the Sword Coast.
That is correct. That is why I said I didn't put any stock in my anecdotal evidence.wait, so you are saying through all of this, you are the only one that cared, the % differ because the number of other people differ, it is either 1 out of 6 or 1 out of 11 (across two groups), with the 1 being you…
Quite the poll
Makes sense.I do think they will transition slightly.away from the Sword Coast towards the Eastern Heartlands and mayhe the Inner Wea writ large: there isn't a lot if room left in the Sword Coast area for big Adventures.
Novels, yes. Reference books, no. Who wants to faff about with an index when you can just tell your phone what you want to know?Just chiming in to point out that…kids literally still read books. Like that hasn’t gone away, books for kids still do numbers, kids still prefer paper books when surveyed about digital vs paper…like the idea they don’t want to “wade theough” paper books is just false.
