Here's a cool one that i'd like to explore. Elves always hide because their reproduction rate is slower than anything, what if they produce half-elves for the purpose of a serf caste? All half-elves in a nation are third class citizens while outsiders are considered to be second class with some...

Sadly that's what's wanted out of the Published settings. I know a lot of GMs who make their own setting so complex that there are 3 civilizations of dwarves, 4 of elves, maybe 2 halflings, and so on. Each with a different flavor or aspect but somehow familiar. It's hard for a published...

Wizards has to listen to Hasboro who makes the rules on how their games are made. Therefor Wizards must keep rolling in the 'dough' as it were in new and creative ways. I'm not so sure that long-term support is a good thing for the larger industry. It puts pressure to release content...

While i'm liking the addition to lore, especially since it reduces the amount of pure material that i will have to buy to catch up (i'm like 2 years into the hobby guys) i'm worried that the 'new monsters' that will undoubtedly be added are going to have to be used in this other way. My wallet...
